So, yeah...

Well, my act's of kindness thing today was kind of a fail. I did start the day trying to complement everyone, but as the day went on I started doing it less and less. My complements just felt kinda forced, even though I genuinely believed every one. I think the more you try to force and pre-plan a "random" act of kindness, the less meaningful it becomes. Removing sarcasm for a day was more of an attitude shift than an act of kindness, and so it helped me be a little more considerate for a day.  The individual little complements and actions were all completely genuine then. So, I think for the moment I'll abandon my "kindness quota", and try instead to focus on a few big acts, while taking advantage of all the small opportunities I have to do something nice.

On another note, I think for the next few days I'll just list some of the little things I've done that don't merit a full post, just so my blog looks more full and important.

Nice Stuff I Did Today
I drove a friend to work so she wouldn't have to walk in the rain
I filled in for another group's acting presentation on Hamlet during English class
I answered the door for a kid selling newspaper subscriptions for college money, and I took one of the order forms and let him get out of the rain for a minute.

Evil Stuff I Did Today
Invaded Iceland (again)


So, the next real planned out thing I have lined up is going to Occupy Detroit. While I have my own motives for going there, I think it would be nice for me to help out (with either first aid, or food, or various comfort stuff), and maybe I'll even bring some blankets and books. Other than that, I'll just see what comes up and what I can do.
