Ignorance:

December 14, 2004.

one hilarious christmas movie
is about the time i saw the
toys for tots
donation
pile
with the big stuffed Mouse looking guy
in the santa claus suit.
today.

i saw that and i didn't see
the toys for tots
sign
and i 'wanted'
the Mouse.
today. today,
i picked it up and looked
for a price tag.

Consider this scenario: if you were watching a circle of people passing a basketball and someone dressed in a gorilla costume walked through the circle, beat his chest, and exited, of course you would notice him immediately--wouldn't you? [Researchers] filmed such a scene and showed it to people who were asked to track the movement of the ball by counting the number of passes made by one of the teams. Approximately half of the participants failed to notice the gorilla.

don't interrupt me while i'm
doing
this
here.

to realize
that i asked for a documentary
about homeless
romanian children
for christmas.
