Help the homeless...for my amusement

Woohoo! Second post!

Let's face it. Everybody's had a time when things have been down, and you've hoped for somebody to lend a hand, be it financially, physically, or emotionally. I wouldn't mind being that guy that lends that hand to people in need. If I had the money, I would take in the homeless, and help them get their life back on track.

Now, where's the humor in that? There really isn't. If you can do something kind for one person, that's the humor and reward itself. However, if you must insist:

Coming soon to MTV:
"Home Sweet Home"

52 strangers are forced to live under the same roof for one year, as the world watches each week. The catch: they are all homeless. Carefully controlled, the contestants are put in trials as they struggle to overcome their addictions (and each other) to get their lives back on track. Each week, America will vote off one contestant, leaving one, who will win the house.

What do you think? Don't worry; each eliminated contestant will be given ten thousand dollars to help them return to their normal lives, along with help to deal with any psychological problems they may have.

Please, don't kick my ass over this one (OMG! HE SWORE!). You can leave hate mail, but I think it's a great way to help and entertain at the same time. Look at "The Biggest Loser". I think that's more harmful than helpful.

On an added note, I underestimated the annoyance of Calculus. There's a sort of timeline in math during school, where you start as a kid with a pencil with everything, and are used to it, being irked when your lead breaks, or that you constantly have to sharpen it. Then you get to high school, where they say, "You can't use pencil. Only pen." There's a sort of revelation there, and you get happy. Now, I'm back to pencil for Calculus. Yippee. It's like seeing a twenty dollar bill lying on the ground get picked up by a street sweeper and shredded. Horrible.

On that depressing note, I'll leave you guys with this question of Monday:

If you could help any one person in the world, who would you help? How? Why?

Don't forget, post, and I'll check your blogs. Until then, Long Days and Pleasant Nights to all!
