GET OUT of here Ben & Jerry

After being told from several people that I neeeed to see Get Out I went to see Get Out last week.  Ahhhhhh I was scared outta my mind for many reasons. Between the metaphors and the symbolism, I was simply SHOOK! What a gripping tale of race in modern America. I learned so much and I was really able to apply it to my life and to the people around me.

I saw the movie at Jack London Square and directly across the street from the movie theater is a Ben & Jerry’s. For those of you that think you can no longer have Ben & Jerry’s if you go vegan, GET OUT of here! See what I did there? :-)

Ben & Jerry’s supports the Black Lives Matter movement AND they support my choice to refrain from eating animal by-products. It's a win-win! A while back, they released new vegan flavors. So far, I’ve only tasted 3 of the 7 flavors. I have plans to taste all 7.

#NoRegrets

But I digress. . .

So, I’m sitting outside of the Ben & Jerry’s trying to calm down and totally emotionally eating (due to PTMS - post-traumatic movie syndrome) and this guy comes up behind me while I’m sitting on the bench. I jump.

Him: Oh, I’m sorry, did I scare you?
Me: Ahhhhhh yeah!!! Don’t come up behind me like that! I just saw GET OUT!
Him: I just wanted to give you this pamphlet about the Lord.

He was a Jehovah’s Witness

Me: Oh.

Point of it all? Leave the movies at the movies! Eat ice cream and pray.
