a rarity among men

did you ever lose all faith in humanity only to turn around and look into the eyes of a stranger who actually wants to do something nice for you?

i did.

today my friend and i went to the nutcracker at cortland, but it was all sold out! we had just gotten all dolled up and there was nothing to do now but to go back to our rooms and keep studying for finals. when all of a sudden, there rose such a clatter... we sprang up on our feet to see what was the matter! it was a man, and presumably his wife, with two extra tickets! for free!
and the play was absolutely beautiful. the little children and the costumes... i could probably gush for a while, but my point is, i didnt know there were still people left in the world who would help a stranger out. too bad i lost my ticket in the snow after the play was over. i wanted to keep it in my scrapbook =\

i saw some fat dude give away a rush ticket to some guy who drove like 7 hours from upstate to see rush with no ticket.
