You might be surprised to know Mike Tyson cares about animals. You also might be surprised to know Mike Tyson cares about nuclear war.
While flipping through Sports Illi the other day, I came upon an ad for Mike Tyson's new show on Animal Planet... I guess the ad's purpose was to inform me of the "human" side of Mike Tyson that I might be surprised by.
First off, Mike Tyson has a show on Animal Planet. About pigeon racing. If this isn't a sign of the apocalypse I don't know what is. Second, I should probably watch the show at least once before spittin more hate.
But actually, all I could think while reading about all the other things I might be surprised Mike Tyson cares about is that I wasn't surprised at all. Doesn't everyone care about nuclear war on some level? Don't most people at least sort of pretend to care about animals? I really wish I could remember what the other 3 things he cared about are.
I might've been surprised if it said Mike Tyson cares about the feel of crushed velvet against his right bicep, or Mike Tyson cares about groundwater pollution or Mike Tyson cares about keeping his toenails trimmed. Something. But not nuclear war. Or puppies. I wasted 30 seconds of my life thinking about it, and the last 30 seconds of yours by your having read that... So I'm not too sure where I was going with that but I just felt like somebody needed to know. We all lose.
Speaking of nuclear issues though, the whole tsunami fiasco in Japan has been crazy scary both because 1) You might be surprised to know I care about natural disasters, and 2) You might be surprised to know I live in the same town as Hungary's only nuclear power plant. Real talk.
Now obviously no rogue waves are hitting this place anytime soon/ever but the other day I was sitting chillin in my living room when this crazy WWII-era air raid siren starts going off outside (seriously, YouTube air raid siren and prepare to have the crap scared out of you).
After narrowly avoiding peeing my pants I managed to pull myself together to look outside and seriously expected to see people frantically running through the streets tryin to get the eff outta Dodge (all of these people would be on foot because this is like in the movies where everyone runs out of gas 200m into the exodus).
Instead, the streets were empty and the siren just kept going off all high and eerie for like, 5 minutes before stopping like nothing happened. No announcement in unintelligible Hungarian that I wouldn't have been able to understand anyway. Nothing. Like they were just dusting off the ol' siren for old times' sake. I may or may not have been absolutely effing terrified.
So that's where that story ends unless I notice a 3rd arm sprouting any day now.
What does this have to do with anything and where is this going...? Maybe these are questions you might be surprised to find yourself thinking right now.
I know. Reading any of these rambling incoherent responses to the world around me never evokes that response...
But the people have spoken. They tell me they want more posts.
Unfortunately, seeing as how I can only pretend my life is somewhat exciting approx. 2 times per month, we're now forced to buckle down to look at the nitty gritty of my day-to-day. This isn't gonna be good for anyone, but in an effort to avoid turning this site into some kind of emo blog nonsense, Mike Tyson Sports Illustrated ad analyses it is. I'm sorry & you're welcome.

Maybe you are supposed to lock yourself in your house if the siren goes off. Yours was just a drill I am sure but I would have been terrified too especially in light of recent events in the news. I can't imagine a worse emergency order for a nuclear disaster than "don't come out of your house". At least if you are evacuating you can feel like you are doing something but with "don't come outside" order you just have to sit there are wait for it to get worse (or hopefully better but how likely is that?) until it is WAAAAY to late to leave.
you should never ever ever stop writing. I think when you are done with volleyball you have a promising career in writing!
