not so fun fact about me
My arm pits smell like Arby’s.
my reaction: My arm pits smell like a roast beef sandwich from Arby’s and I don’t even eat there. I haven’t had a sandwich from there in over 10 years. Why do my pits smell like a beef cheddar sandwich with extra horsey sauce? Maybe I should start wearing deodorant.
up north
I went on a family vacation ‘up north’. If you live in the Midwest you’ve gone on a trip up north. My mantra during the vacation was “it’s not about me.” I kept saying that every time I was frustrated or annoyed on the trip. I think it actually worked. Every time we did something that was not about me I would say, “it’s not about me…it’s not about me…it’s not about me” until it was not about me. I think I’m going to take this mantra and use it for everyday life. I’m just going to repeat “it’s not about me”. I think it would solve a lot of problems. How would you ever get mad, sad, or disappointed if nothing’s about you? I’m a deep thinker now.
jelly
I spent $20 on jelly the other day. I have a life supply of jelly now. Who needs $20 worth of jelly for themselves. I don’t need that much jelly. No one needs that much jelly. It was actually just 3 jars of expensive jelly that had no sugar added. I try my best to stay away from processed sugar. I’m trying to be healthy. This was jelly that was sweetened with grape juice which is the fruit that has the most sugar in it. I’m avoiding processed sugar but my intake of real sugar has doubled. I don’t think that’s healthy. I also don’t think it’s healthy to buy $20 worth of jelly too.
golf war
I didn’t realize how much fun mini golf is after playing it recently. I don’t like real golf. It’s expensive, long, and it’s a lot of walking. However, mini golf is the best. I’m not sure why it’s called mini golf because it’s just putting. Mini golf is just putting around obstacles. It makes it entertaining. They should design real golf courses like mini golf courses. There should be aligator mouths on the course, windmills, and brick walls. I want to be a pro mini golf player. I’m not that good but it’s just fun.
tip drill
I never put money in college fund tip jars at places where teens work. It’s hack. I see them everywhere a kid works. There usually at ice cream places. However, I do think people deserve to get tips for scooping ice cream. They should have a scoop tip jar for all the scoopers. I also think they shouldn’t give free samples. We all know ice cream taste good. Ice cream stores would be just fine if they didn’t offer samples. Anyways, back to the college fund tip jars rant. I don’t know if that kid who has a tip jar out is college bound. Give me proof. Show me your acceptance letter. Plus, it’s not for college. It’s your drinking money. It’s for your pot. I guess if I ever scooped ice cream I would do the same thing. I’d put a college fund tip jar even though I’m 41 and use that money for cigarettes and I don’t even smoke.
the oldies
I love old people in public. Old people are awesome. They never get sick of talking. They just want to be talked to. They know their days are limited. They don’t have much time left. They just want attention. I love talking to random old people in public. They are so kind and gentle. They are way better than young people who don’t know how to talk or get annoyed if you try to talk to them. If you’re with your kid even better. An old person will say hi, smile, or even squeeze your kid’s cheeks. A young person will not even know what’s going on because they will be glued to their screen or most likely not even be in public (just at home complaining). Old people you’re the best.
doogie howser moment
I think the most important thing I learned this last week was life is not about me. I don’t know if I’ll ever put that in practice but it’s good to know. The young generation is all about themselves. No one wonder mental health is at all time high. Skip the college fund jars and get a therapy tip jar. I guess I’m becoming an old soul. I like to play mini golf, eat jelly, and my arm pits smell like roast beef.
