I No Longer Beleive in Charity

“Hey, How are you doing?”, the Green Peace or Amnesty International ‘FUND RAISER’ man says. Usually I feel obliged to acknowledge them and say, “Hi”, but other than that they annoy me.
I was once naïve and would stop to, “Just Chat”, or so they lead me on to believe. I always thought they were recruiting volunteers; little did I know all they wanted was my visa number. I even told them once I didn’t own a cell phone; to which I was given a look of disbelief.
I don’t even really believe in charity anymore. I guess I feel somewhat jaded. I just figure that if we can’t even be nice to the people around us the majority of the time, what’s the point in being nice to strangers? I must sound like an awful person but it’s true.
Even in high school, most of the people I knew pocketed the charity money anyway, so what does that say?

Druken Exploartion

I was only 15, I should have been in English class but instead found myself across the table from Kathleen, the only other Canadian in town. We were both in the small French city of Saumur for the next three months, together on exchange.

After one too many beers and a repulsive amount of Marlboro lights, it was suffice to say we were drunk. It only being 2:30 in the afternoon we see the old Theatre across the street calling to us. Still functioning, we sneak in the back door, past the Tourist info centre and up a set of stairs. Making our way across a studio with floorboards missing everywhere we find a ladder. Pulling our drunken bodies up the ladder we make our way onto the catwalk above the stage. All of the sudden we turn the corner and we are face to face with some French man. Stopped dead in our tracks, motionless, he simply explains there is a play going on so we have to be quiet.

He should have told us to leave; eventually we made our way to the dressing rooms. Inside said dressing rooms we find chocolate bars, cookies and juice. Our poor integrity enabled us to help ourselves fleeing with snacks in hand.

Later that month the principle threatened to send us home if we continued to ‘escape’ from school. Escaping was a necessity and what we felt to be our right- we never got caught again.

“That’s what we liked, that defying of our own perception of what is acceptable,”
