Are you sick of the ol low five that casually turns into a fist bump like I am? Then today and all the rest here after are your luckiest days ever because low five fist bumps are over my friend!
They had a good run I'll give em that. Low Five and Fist Bump worked well together and formed a great team. But their reign is over! I remember when I first set eyes on the dynamic duo.
I was in the 7th grade and I was walking to class in the hallway of Spanish Fork Middle School and I saw this cool guy that I might have looked up to, walking up to what I considered back in middle school a "cool preppy butch dude" and they did the strangest thing. It looked like your regular high five, and yet, it was oddly different. Their hands were at waist level joining forces with a slap, then sliding back and, to my amazement, bringing it back to meet their clenched fists to one another! It was beautiful!
It caught on like wildfire! Before you knew it every one were clients of "Low Five & Fist Bump" and with something new and exciting I jumped on board to set sail with all my crew mates into the distance... But the sun never set on that journey because the legendary high five is coming back! And with a vengeance!
How did we ever phase out the awesomeness when two hands reach to the sky, jolt toward one another through the air and slap together with the sweet stinging force which God intended after something witty or cool was said between friends?! It's sheer ludicrous madness I say! So I am here to say that I am on a mission. A mission to single handedly bring back the high five! It's what the inventors of the "Hi-5" would want, and I'm gonna set it right! The stories say that it probably was two frat dudes at Notre Dame University in the 80's that slapped hands together after a super sweet keg flip... But that's just what they want you to believe...
Legend has it that God covertly sent one of his top gun angels down to the mortal world to place upon them a gift so sweet. Once the disguised heavenly being touched down on earth he wandered the surface till he found the one worthy to have this gift.
Years he searched, till one day he was at a football game, Eagles vs Giants, and he saw a man. His name is too sacred to be known in this lifetime, but the angel gazed upon his face and said "He is the one." Taking a seat next to him, he chatted with him to gain a friendly bond.
The anticipation of the game rose like a storm. The crowd suddenly gasped. Then... "Touchdown!" The arena exploded and the man and the angel cheered together as equals. Then with one quick motion the angel raised his hand in the air and looked at the man, deep into his eyes and soul. With out thinking and a warm feeling inside of him the man did the same and not knowing why, slapped the angel's hand. The slap seemed to echo through out the stadium. They stared at one another knowing that history had been changed forever and that the future would be molded by this moment. The man looked down at the felid and around him to see if any one had seen, and then he turned to the angel. But he was gone... Disappeared. And that is the legend of how the High Five came to be.
The term in the awesome office has come to an end for Low Five and Fist Bump. Now the votes are in and the people want high fives. So lets give the people what they want America! Let's bring back the High Five!
My name is Ryan Provstgaard, and I approve of this message.
