Michigan Man Finally Leaves Home For First Time Since November
James Garcia

GRAND RAPIDS, MI--- A man was actually found leaving his home for the first time since early November this past Tuesday afternoon, as weather temperatures skyrocketed past fifty degrees.

Gary Williams, a resident of Grand Rapids for 30 years, described the moment that he decided to leave, “It was absolutely magical. For the first time in, I don’t even know how long, I woke up and it just wasn’t cold.”

Along with the rest of the population of west Michigan, Williams has not seen sunlight since about the first week of November, nor felt any air without its winter sting. Instead of braving the outdoors, Williams retreated to the familiar comfort of his home, sitting on his couch and guessing how much snow had accumulated every day by the amount that has fallen on his back deck.

“At first, you think, hey, it’s fun, it’s a good time,” Williams stated, “But then as time goes on you just get real tired of it all, and that’s when I decided to stay inside.”

When asked how Williams obtained food and water despite never exiting the house, he simply shrugged and mumbled something about “Uber Eats” and pizza delivery men. When asked any other questions about the logistics of his situation, he continued to mumble and say much of the same.

We caught up with Williams a week later to see how he was doing after the temperature shift. We were surprised to find that Williams has now taken to retreating to his home again, only this time until the spring rains stop. We asked for a statement through the front window of his house, to which we received no comment. We’ll be sure to check in on him again once the heat waves of summer start.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
