This is something that my friend Bryant put up on Facebook a few days ago and I "liked". The very next day I got selected for the ALS ice bucket challenge.
You see I donate fairly often. Anytime at the grocery store when they ask if I'd like to donate a dollar to whatever, I do. I donate the animal charities regularly. It's not something I feel as though I need to post on social media every time I do it.
Now that, that had been said, two more things. 1) This whole ice bucket challenge thing is fun and all, but I don't think people realize that they are supposed to be donating AND doing the bucket of water. The challenge part is if you don't do the bucket of water, then you have to donate $100 versus a domination of your choice. Either way you still donate. How is getting all wet helping anything? Are all of these celebrities and folks doing the donation part too? Or just the "fun" part?
And 2) 24 hours? Really?! I have a job, also, I'm going out of town tomorrow and have yet to pack, also, I have nobody to film me pouring buckets of water over my head. This whole 24 hour thing that really wasn't thought out properly. I got this challenge at about 3 PM yesterday while I was at work. As I mentioned before I am going out of town so I have lots of errands and what not to do this morning and there was just no way an ice bucket dump was going to happen. However I was able to do my donation. I emptied my tardis change collector at the bank and put my check in the mail this morning. I will do the second part of this ice bucket challenge in Arizona , when I have someone who will be able to film me when it happens.
So for this whole stupid challenge thing, consider part one, the more important part, done, within the 24 hour timeframe. Part two you'll just have to wait a few days for.
