something people don’t experience nowadays
getting lost
my reaction: When’s the last time you’ve been lost? There is no way you can be lost anymore if you have a smartphone. I don’t have a smartphone. I got lost going to a bar that was 20 minutes away from house. There was a total of three turns and I got lost. All those who wander arn’t lost, they just don’t have a GPS.
historic brick
I went on a road trip with my family to a place that was 3 hours away. I noticed there is a lot of signs for Historic Downtowns. Every town we passed had an ‘historic downtown’. I’m beginning to think that’s a buzz word to fool people into visiting their boring town. Historic Downtown means old. It means the town hasn’t been replaced by hip coffee shops and modern condos. An historic downtown is a row of buildings made of brick. It’s the original post office, gas station, bar, and diner on the main street. Historic just means musty buildings that are outdated.
such a pest
Lately, there has been activity of rodents outside our home. We’ve found rat poop on our window ledge outside. Why is that rat pooping on our ledge? Poop under our backyard deck not our window ledge. That seems like an inconvenient place to poop. I’m going to drop a deuce in that rat’s burrow. I’m going to poison the hell out of these rats with my fecal matter. I’m going to eat a poor diet of fast food and just let out explosive diarrhea into a rat’s home.
better run
I rarely go running but I want to run more. It’s a great physical activity. Whenever I have gone running I feel better than people. I will call out people who drive cars, ride bikes, or walking. I think they are lazy because they aren’t exerting energy like I am. I act like I’m better than them. They should be running too. I lose respect for everyone who is not running at the same time as me. It’s just so difficult to run. I think I’m making this huge sacrifice. I think I’m giving it my all and that it’s me against the world but in reality I just jogged around the block.
nanas
I haven’t had a drink in over 4 years. I miss going to the liquor store. There was so much hope, potential, and optimism in a liquor store. I want to restore that hope. I want to start a Non-Alcoholic store. A dry liquor store that only carries Non-Alcoholic beer, spirits, and mocktails. I want to have the largest collection of NA products in the world. I know it sounds like I’m describing a grocery store, but I just want to have NA products only. No soda, no water, and no alcohol. It’ll be a store for non-alcoholics. It’ll be the Costco of NA products. I call it NaNa’s.
what a wreck
Why are shipwrecks cool? People love old shipwrecks. Shipwrecks had to suck when they happened in real time. The captain of a sinking ship did not think it was cool. They were probably like ‘dang… there goes my job… my boat… my life.” I feel like shipwrecks are romanticized in our culture after time has passed. People love to read about shipwrecks. It’s hard to clean up a shipwreck since it’s underwater so it usually just stays in the water. What if we did that to car wrecks? What if we never cleaned up a car wreck? Would car wrecks be cool to look at in 50 years?
doogie howser moment
In conclusion, get lost. The feeling of getting lost is magical. It leads you to the unknown. It might lead you to an historic downtown that you may have never seen. It could lead you to a shipwreck. Get lost on a run and make fun of people in their cars. Enjoy a nice NA after you went for your run. Most importantly tell rodents to get lost. Give them a smartphone and have them follow a GPS right into a trap full of poison.
