"Strangers are simply friends..."

The problem with the expression “Strangers are simply friends you haven’t met yet” is that my friends probably wouldn’t mind — quite so much — when I playfully whip their butts with my towel when I walk behind them at the gym.

Who knew that big guys could run that fast!? ;)

"Do I whaaaaat?"

Walking out of Target on my way to my car. A woman calls to me from her car…

“Excuse me, sir. Do you work alone?”

I’m thinking, well that’s a weird question, ‘What?’ I reply.

“Do you work alone?”

Again I say, ‘What!?’, because I have no idea how to respond to a complete stranger asking that question.

I mean, is she asking me if I’m self employed? Is she hitting on me? Is she looking for work? Is this some kind of Las Vegas prostitute thing!?

“Do you work alone?”

Ok, clearly I’m not getting it, so I say, ‘Ok, are you saying, “Do I work alone?”‘

“No,” she laughs and looks at me like I’m slow, “Dooo. Yooou. Wearrrr. Cologne?”

Yup. That just happened.

—

What was she doing? She was giving out free samples of cologne and selling cheap knock offs from her car.

Hot web comic action

I’ve decided that in order to increase my eccentricity factor, from this day forth, instead of simply ordering anything like a normal person, I shall now request [descriptive name of item] plus the word “action”.

For example, if I want coffee, I shall now order “hot coffee action”. If I want a bagel, I shall request “sweet blueberry bagel action”.

Oh yes.

It took me a while to get to this point, but now that I’m on the brink of making this transition, it just feels right.

Awww yeah. We’ve got some eccentric decision making action going on right here.

Faux alarm

That awkward moment when you think you see someone you don’t want to see —

but it only turns out to be their doppelganger.

And then you feel a weird sense of disappointment because you went through the whole awkward emergency emotional response —

for nothing. O_o

Exception

When I have a family, I’m thinking about naming one of my children Exception.

That way I can have fun conversations like…

“Hey, did you hear about the new park opening up?” “New park, eh? I think I’ll take Exception to that!” “Why, are you offended?” “No, no. Exception is my son.” “WHY would you name your child Exce–”

Anyway, you get the idea.

Good times.

Fear News Network

I think network news should be called, “What we think you should worry about next.”

I only see bits and pieces of it while it’s on the monitors at the gym, but it’s almost always the same predominant message…

Be afraid.

Eff that.

There are so many amazing and beautiful things going on in the world. Those things are inspiring and motivating.

More of that, please.

Of course, I want to be informed and know what’s going on in the world. But the non stop fear cycle is tiring. And so much news nowadays is just biased spin now.

I realize we are responsible for what we watch, but I can’t help but think the world might be less afraid if we weren’t constantly barraged with fear messages.

Cloud movement

Confession of the day:

As a child, I used to think that clouds weren’t actually moving anywhere and they only traveled across the sky because the Earth was spinning.

True story.
