I was sitting outside today having a great conversation with a student, but when I came back inside I realized I had gotten sunburnt. This reminded me of a protest movement myself and a friend started in 2004 called Shun the Sun. (I remember it was 2004 because we had just completed the wildly successful “SARS-Free in ’03″ campaign.)
Why Shun the Sun? It’s this huge fireball that burns you merely for going into its presence, that blinds you if you look at it, and makes you a sweaty mess in the process. The sun is my nemesis. I have heard the pro-sun activists and their “we couldnt survive without the sun” and “what about chlorophyll” based rhetoric but I remain unfazed in the face of their science mumbo-jumbo.
I encourage all of you now, join me and Shun the Sun, let’s teach it a lesson!
PS – I noticed my blog passed the 1000 view mark today. How exciting, thanks to all of you who helped make it happen! It’s also proof the world is devolving.
I’ll join that revolution! A couple weeks ago, I put on sunscreen for a Royals game and found that I missed a place on my leg. It looked like a red puzzle piece…

Dude, I’m all over that. I hope you’re getting a non-window office when you guys move upstairs. Me, I’ll stick to the basement.
