sidewalk chalk brainwash

so in provo, they write on the sidewalks. as advertisement. i don't know if they do it in other places too, but its all the time here.  right now the sidewalk is dominated for at least half of my walk to school by an advertisement for women's chorus.

at first i am super annoyed that they're there.  i HAVE to read them, i HAVE to know what they say--its rather impossible not to.  and its not like i really want to go to the women's chorus, i'm not a fan of just women singing to music, especially choral-type music. you know, with the organ and the high voices--after awhile its like cats in a blender. (i stole that from my mom, who used it to describe over-frequent phantom of the opera viewings). in any case--i don't want to go, and i'm sure of it.  but as i'm walking to school over this sidewalk chalk everyday, possibly more than four times, it starts to grow on me.

this morning i found myself thinking, "you know, maybe i should be heading to the ticket office like its telling me to.   i should be going to this concert. its on april fool's day, but its not a joke. are you ready for this? i'm ready for this. i should be going to women's chorus 50th concert.  i'm sure they're doing something special. i'm sure they're doing something great. i should head to the ticket office?"

until i realized they were brainwashing me. with sidewalk chalk.  who knew what powerful stuff it was?
