And so, Kwanzaa Begins: The Very Late Story
Kwanzaa is on the 26th, so I'm a little late with the article. Whatev.
Anyway, Kwanzaa is an American holiday that lasts for seven days. This holiday is fairly new, as it was just created in 1996. Although it is American it is traditionally celebrated specifically by African-Americans. Kwanzaa is actually kind of like Hanukkah in that you light candles and everyone receives gifts, not just the children. However, for this holiday you light only seven candles. Three of them are red, three green, and one black. These are called kinara candles. Each candle represents a principle.
The seven principles are:
Umoja (Unity)
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination)
Ujima (Collective work and Responsibility)
Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics)
Nia (Purpose)
Kuumba (Creativity)
Imani (Faith)
Just a little note: if you take one 'A' off of Kwanzaa and Wiki it, you will end up on an article about Angolan currency. Funny,huh?

The Follower
As Bob strutted obliviously down the road, a small, mischevious looking child poked his head out from behind a building. He smirked to himself as he launched the water balloon at the weird old guy on the street. The child laughed out loud as the balloon connected.
Bob spun around. What was this strange liquid soaking down his back? You see, Bob had never had a shower, or gone swimming, or anything. He didn't know what water was!
The old hobo looked around wildly. He had to find out what was going on! In the name of the Petunias, he would uncover the truth!
Meanwhile the child sniggered.
However, he recieved the shock of his young life when Bob grabbed him by the scruff if his neck and hoisted him into the air. "Now say, young whippersnapper," Bob scowled at him.
The kid looked at Bob in wonder. He had never heard anyone use the word "Whippersnapper" before! Thanks to that one word, Bob was now his hero.
"Hey, old man," he said. Bob blinked.
"Yes?"
This strange child then proceded to ask Bob what his name was. Bob had never been asked that before. Beaming, he told the boy his name was Bob.
"Cool!" the kid said. "My name is Joe. So now, in honor of your awesomeness, I will call myself Bobby Joe."
The gleeful Bobby Joe ran off, leaving Bob content and confused.
Now, you may wonder how this changed the world. Well, here it is.
Recently Bob Joe tried to run for President od the US. However, he lost to the Democrats. You may even know who Babby Joe is- under a different name of course. I'll give you a hint: He is old, balding and ran with a very annoying woman who's name starts with an S. Anyway, he decided to run for Pres to honor bob the Hobo with a national holiday. So now he will not rest until he succeeds. AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

SO BOB SAW A FLYER FOR M&M'S STUDY AND DROVE HIS FIRE TRUCK TO ANONYMOUS TOWN, WHERE I LIVE. HE HAD NO IDEA WHAT AN M&M WAS! I GAVE HIM THREE OBJECTS.
- AN M&M
- A PAIR OF HEADPHONES
- AND SOME SNOW
I TOLD HIM AN M&M WAS SOMETHING TO EAT!
of course he tried to bite the headphones, i screamed NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then i shoved the m&m in his mouth and he ran away singing, " choc---------------------olatay oh i love the sugary sweetness where in every bar there is sugar ( shoog- are ) and you might get and you might get a tiny cavitay!" to the tune of oklahoma ok ! what i forgot to check in my reseach was bobs allegeries or eating problems.......................... turns out he cant have chocalate unless he wants to hit people that dont give him chocolate with metal poles for at least the next month. so yeah from one m&m bob will surely be crazy for a month and 3 days so BEWARE BOB THE HOBO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bob the Motivational Poster
Although Bob is fantastic at his job, he is working for minimum wage... of 1960. So, he is being paid $1.00 an hour. And I used to wonder how modeling companies made money. I HAVE ALL THEIR SECRETS! I WILL SUCCEED AT LIFE! MWUAHAHAHA!
Continuing... Anyway, my message here is: if you ever drop out of school and become a hobo, you can ALWAYS become a model. It's not like they expect models to be smart, after all. Oh, and keep an eye out for any posters of Bob.
