So today I was out playing soccer with my brother barefoot.
(Before I move on, I would like to mention how awesome it is to run in grass barefoot.)
So anyways, I was out playing and I found this rock. It looked like every other rock you have seen; flattish charcoal-grey, and smooth. I thought it was pretty cool so I took it under my arm. (because I obviously don't have wings) Anyhoo, I was wondering what on earth (<- haha get it? earth? I found it on the ground? oh well.) I was going to do with a rock. So today, I have composed/devised a list. I have also provided short explanations for my choices. Here it goes:
What to do with my normal but not so normal once I find different ways to use it rock:
- Throw it at people and make them go bonkers!
- Make sure it is people you don't know and run away when you do it. We don't want you paying other people's medical bills.
- Toss it up and down
- This is more fun than you would think because that feeling of it making that "thud" in your hand is rather satisfying.
- Name it
- I named mine Rocky. I was also thinking of making it an invention like the iRock. (<- get it iRock and I rock? haha if you didn't get it, I would give up on reading this blog)
- Wash it
- That way your germaphobe of a family will not freak out every time it gets near them. Also, it makes it smell good.
- Use it as a paper weight
- This is just a thought. It might be rather distracting having a rock while your working because as you can see, you could get distracted thinking of all the other things you could be doing with it.
- Make people jealous of your new-found rock
- When my brother first saw my rock, he ran outside to find himself one. (Me=1 Brother=0 :))
- Crush nuts
- You could go all hunter-gatherer.
- Depending on what kind of person you are, I will allow you to figure this out yourself.
- Flip it
- Do some sort of coin toss. You can do it by yourself or with friends. Find a way to mark whcih one is heads or tails though because you would be surprised how hard it is to play heads and tails with only hands and feet.
- Write a poem about it
- This is for you expressive, artistic people.
- Use it as a shovel
- I was in San Diego once and I dug a rather large hole using the same type of rock instaed of my fingers. It works very well.
- Crack it open
- You could go all Thor and find a giant sledgehammer in your garage and smash it open with a grunt or war cry. DO IT ON GRASS, NOT CONCRETE. (just a warning :))
- Smear ink and write with it
- I do this all the time with my finger. I will write all over it than smear the ink all over my paper. It's called modern art. It has very raw feelings in it like bordom.
- Find out what can scratch it
- We did a lab for this in science class. Try mom's diamond ring to see how real the diamond is.
- What kind of sounds can it make?
- This is for all you musical people. Just slam it on things and make a beat.
- Decorate it
- This is for all you glitter, bedazzle, and bling people. BLING IT ON!
- Don't hurt yourself
- This is highly recommended by doctors around the world.
- How long can you stare at it?
- Have a staring contest with something that has no eyes.
- All of the above
- :) Thanks for reading the whole thing!
