Day 304: Karma Toilet

     I've yet again, come across something on the internet that was so stupid, I had to try it. It's a video of a ritual in Japan "flushing their troubles away". Check out the video here. So I have a white toilet, which meant I had to flush away things that I wanted to cut ties with. On a piece of paper, I wrote down a couple of personal pet peeves of mine that I wouldn't mind losing. Some of them were things like sleeping in and wasting time, nothing too big. It's a strange practice indeed, but maybe it's just what you need. What better way to tackle your demons then to consciously flush them away. It forces you to face the things you hate, and to decide to get rid of them. At least, that's one way of looking at it.

Day 60: Fix The Toilet

     Today's new things isn't as much that much a challenge, more like a much needed chore that I have been putting off for a little too long. The toilet has been broken for about a week or so now, which is poopy. So I went to the Home Depot to see what I could do. I got the flapper kit thing that the man in the orange apron suggested and I headed home to set things right. It turns out that it was an easy fix; the chain that connects the flushing leaver to the flapper broke. And it also turns out that I have close to no knowledge as to how a toilet works. I didn't know how to turn off the water to the toilet, I didn't know that the tank was filled with ordinary tap water, and most importantly, I didn't (and still don't) know what happens to poop after you flush it. Where does it go? I always assumed that poop was shipped via gator infested sewer pipes to a giant lab where it was analyzed by scientists. The scientist would probably find out what people where eating and what the different types of poop meant for your health.

     Annnnnnnyyyways, I fixed my toilet and everyone lived happily ever after cause nobody had to walk all the way downstairs whenever they had to go potty.
