LONGWALKABOUT

The meanderings of a restless soul. (it's a lot less serious than it sounds)

Random Tuesday Thoughts

  • When someone says something like.  “People are just going to have to accept me for who I am.”  Or.  “I’m just keeping it real.”  What they really mean is.  “I’m going to act exactly how I feel like acting, with no regard for other people.”  Example.  “Those are some ugly shoes.  Just keeping it real.”  No.  You aren’t keeping it real.  You are keeping it adolescent.
  • Every day I used to wake up and feel just like Phineas and Ferb.  Yeah, today is going to be a great day.  I’m going to accomplish something awesome.  My kids have finally beaten me down.  Now I wake up and say, “What am I going to do today? I’ll tell you what.  I’m going to take care of breakfast, lunch and dinner.  I’m going to be the referee in at least 12 kid fights.  I’m going to avoid any trips to the emergency room.  I’m going to use an hour of my life making sure the boys clean their room.  I’m going to try to do one thing for myself, and get interrupted about 16 times.  At the end of the day I’m going to sit there and realize that they’re still my favorite people.”
  • Mosquitoes are nature’s way of making the outdoors less crowded for me.  Thanks nature.
  • Since it’s now cool to identify as whatever you feel like you should be.  I would like to make it known that I identify as a lottery winner.  I’ve always felt like I should be one.  I am a lottery winner born into a middle class body.
  • Last night the kids went to bed at a decent time.  The Pirates game was over early.  I thought, “I’m going to bed early tonight.”  And……. then I stayed up till Jimmy Fallon was over.
  • I don’t know if any of you have ever seen this meme.  —-   “Whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.  Except for bears, bears will kill you.”  Think about that for a minute and realize that it makes absolutely no sense.
  • I already mentioned Phineas and Ferb in this post, but I just wanted to say how bummed I was that the show came to an end this weekend.  The simple fact that Dora the Explorer is still on, and they aren’t, proves that this is a cruel, cruel world.
  • The next time that something gets you down, or you are just frustrated.  Remember that there are seven,,,,,,count them,,,,,,seven Fast and Furious movies.  Life is absurd, and it’s all small stuff.

Opening Salvo

Okay, so now I have a blog.  I would like to welcome the three of you who are reading  this on purpose, and the one person who ended up here accidentally. Henry David Thoreau said that “the masses of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”  Thoreau was one of my heroes.  The guy spent a […]
