Hi there internet. Let me introduce myself; I am Mike, the other writer in this blog. Although the more attractive and smarter one (Alison) will write more frequently, I would like to think that my posts will be more thought provoking. That being said I have been sitting at this computer for three hours scanning pictures and putting them into windows movie maker for our running slide show during the reception and this thought came to my mind:
If you needed to send styrofoam packing peanuts through UPS or FedEx, what would they pack it with?
This perplexes me. Do they have the audacity to put styrofoam packing peanuts in-between styrofoam packing peanuts? Once there, how would the receiver sign for the package knowing that there is unwanted packing peanuts intermingled with the wanted packing peanuts? Put yourself in the shoes of the packing peanut for a minute. (dont act like you've never done this before) One one hand, you have the wanted packing peanuts, (henceforth to be known as (WPP). The WPP are why we are sending the package in the first place. We could have sent priceless artwork, but instead we chose to send WPP. Heck someone has to, or else how would the manufacturer of packing peanuts in general stay in business? It's a good life, being the wpp. It's like a vacation, you are traveling to a chosen destination in what seems to be a windowless cardboard van. But on the other hand, you have the unwanted packing peanuts, (UWPP) whose sole purpose is to ensure the safety of the wpp. Like packing peanut secret service, the UWPP serve protect and defend the WPP and would lay down their lives (or get dissolved in saliva...which is fun to do by the way) for them. They do their job. God Bless the Unwanted Packing Peanut.
So today internet I implore you; have love for the packing peanut, no matter it's purpose in life.
