Why I can't sleep

So, I can't sleep. I should probably be spending my time doing things like studying neurology during my last rotation of school. But I don't instead I come home, immediately nap, and spend long hours wasting time, which is nice. I spent some time tonight on the found magazine web site. So found magazine is actually a magazine put out by a guy that consists entirely of found writings and photos people find and then mail into the magazine. Then they are published with the accompanying stories of how they were found. It's awesome you should really check it out.

Here is a classic example. This was slid under the door of one person:



I mean, why don't I get notes like this under my door? where do you have to live to get notes like this.

The best part of all these things that are found is the random glimpse you get into the lives of people. No matter how retarded, idiotic, hurt or even beautiful they are.

I mean look at this that someone sent in. Its an old certificate from MCV that was found in an old book, on which someone typed out "my dearest beloved, I hope you go to hell" I mean what is the story behind this, and why the hell don't we get these certificates now in medical school?


This one is one of my favorites. It was found in an alley in chicago, no explanation.



This was found in a park, no explanation. I love to think of the possibilities of what occurred in this situation in the park. What a fireman could have done to piss off a mom so much. I love picturing some mother getting pissed off, and to get back at a fireman, scribbling this anonymous note and then leaving it somewhere for him to find.





This was found in a grocery store and is the reverse side of a grocery list. It's a list of what to do on vacation. First of all, who the fuck goes paddleboating on vacation. I mean who actually plans this as an activity to look forward to. Second, this is quite possibly the most depressing list I could have imagined "lots of sex" to be tacked on to.






Another more interesting list. No information is provided other than it was found in colorado. I can't figure out what it is a list for. Maybe a list for what to do when someone is angry with themselves? I'm not sure. I like the "hide from yourself" entry the best.





This one is awesome for obvious reasons. First of all it's a reminder note to bring pornography. Which means there is some ugent reason for this person to not forget to bring his pornography somewhere. Second of all I can't decide which is funnier : 1) that he is bringing the porn for Ron, or 2) the possibility that ron doesn't exist, that really he is just made up as a cover for why this guy has to write a note to remember the porn. This way if someone finds the note, it doesn't look quite so bad.




This is my favorite though. Someone found this lying on the floor of an elevator when they were having a particularly shitty day.
