Tim Dickens' A Christmas Carol

so i was walking home... minding my own business... and there's this guy walking towards me... his arms are full with various items.

because of his shuffling around with the aforementioned items, he dropped one the items. the item: a scarf.

so what did i do?... well, as he was about to walk by, i lift up my right hand, point to the ground in front of me and say, "excuse me, but you dropped your scarf". his response: "oh... thank you"... and we went out separate ways.

did i wait for him to keep walking and pick up that scarf for myself? no. and it just so happens that i'm in the market for a scarf... it would have made my morning walks to work much more comfortable.

anywho... the point of all this is that you'll probably be wanting to be hanging around me in the new year so that you can play with all my toys... santa is gonna be quite generous to me this year.

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!!

well, with all the talk on the news (or non-funny television) of an election, i hereby announce my intention to run for office.

i am throwing my hat into the ring. both literally and figuratively. although, to you that will only matter in the figurative sense. i on the other hand, now have to pick up my hat.

this is my platform:
- a shortened work-week.
- lower taxes.
- better social programs for those in my riding.
- no more pencils and no more books.
- no more teachers dirty looks.

well, that's all i've got so far. i've got to talk to my campaign manager before i say anything too radical.

i hope i can count on your vote.

-tim

ps. i should mention that i am running for prime minister of my apartment.

pps. unless you live in my apartment, you probably can't vote, but i will need your support at the rallies.
