# 279 “roll out”

something you say about a younger person who may have potential

they have a lot going for them

my reaction: We only say this to kids who just graduated high school. “Oh, they have a lot going for them. The world is their oyster.” I wish people told me I have a lot going for me but I’m too old even though I do have a lot going for me. I have way more things going for me than a 18 year old. I have a family, work, and hobbies. An 18 year old has TikTok.

roll out

When it comes to eating, I’m a snob. I am. I have high standards. I like good quality food. I don’t look like I have high standards. I look like I enjoy gas station hot dogs and trust me I used to consume a lot of gas station hot dogs. I ate too many roller hot dogs in the early 2000s. Roller hot dogs are hot dogs that are heated on a metal roller in most gas stations. Who knows how long they’ve been rolling around for? Roller hot dogs are a cry for help. I used to eat roller hot dogs in High School and College. They used to be 3/$1. I was in hot dog heaven but if I did that now I would be in hot dog hell. I’m glad I’ve graduated from eating hot dogs from gas stations.

free bike sale

The neighbors across the street are moving. They put out a sign for free bikes. The entrepreneur that I am took them so I could make a quick buck. They’ve had an offer accepted sign on their house for the last month. I’m waiting for them to move so I can sell their old bikes. I don’t want them to look at their window and see me selling their old bikes to some guy on Craigslist. They might call me out. “Hey, we gave those bikes to you for free!”I don’t want them to mess up a sale for me. I’m trying to make some easy money off you.

chill pros

I think I’m learning a valuable lesson from teenagers. Teenagers have reminded me that it’s okay to do nothing. They take relaxing to a whole new level. They take chill to a professional level. If I did half the stuff they did I would be deemed clinically depressed. Teens sit in their room all day, wearing pajamas, on a screen, and eat fast food every day. If I did that people would start to wonder. “Hey are you okay? What’s wrong?” But if a teen does that it’s perfectly normal. They exhibit all the signs of mental health and it’s perfectly fine. I guess that’s what they are supposed to do.

see no one

The worst break up line is “We should see other people”. I would never say that. Even if I was the one to break up with you I don’t want you to see anyone. I don’t want you to see a single person. The way to break up is annoying your partner until they are like ok I’m done. You’ve ruined love for me. That’s what you should really do. That’s the mature way to do it. The only time someone says we should see other people is if they are seeing people already. I’ve never been a victim of this. I don’t even know why I’m talking about this. It honestly just popped in my head.

warning warning

I think the human race is declining. There are signs that warn people of stop signs now. There is a sign that says, “Warning Stop Sign Ahead”. It’s a pre sign. That’s how much we are not paying attention. Stop signs even have bright flashing lights around the sign. What else do we need? Speed bumps at every intersection. Put a crossing guard at every neighborhood intersection. We could have an army of AI crossing guard robots at each intersection.

doogie howser moment

In conclusion, I have a lot going for me. I have a job, family, and I’m a entrepreneur in that I’m trying to sell free bikes. I have too much going for me but not as much as a kid who spends thier time as a hermit crab in their room. In summary, I no longer eat roller hot dogs. Let’s just say I told hot dogs we should see other people.
