Serving up whatever I want.

Word, Jelly

So I recently hung out with a buddy of mine who likes to use words that aren't real. Granted, I am all for doing whatever you want but it did take me some time to figure out their vocabulary; which word stood for what. The minute I realized that "creep factor nine" meant weird I was in. The idea of doing whatever you want and tying into your everyday speech was unknown to me but it blows my mind. I thought I was a renaissance man but my friend, they're the one who's taking to the next level. I guess this is just a post of realization but also an encouragement to try and truly do what you want. Make up words, wear outfits that don't match, it doesn't matter as long as it's what you want to do and you're confident in it. Thank you to my friend the genius.

Try This If You're Bored...

"If you're bored, you're boring." - Seth Rainwater A wise, man with a killer blog

This is the quote that I heard every time I would say I was bored from 7th - 10th grade. The reason that it stopped in 10th grade was because I finally realized what it meant. I don't mean that I figured out what the words meant, I mean I finally figured out the true meaning behind the statement.
Just take a look around and realize that you're in one of the most prosperous nations in the world, America. You obviously have a computer and internet, food, clothes, and an outside. This isn't a "Get Up & PLAY!" propaganda, but seriously, there is nothing in this world better than the world itself. Appreciate your surroundings, your neighbors, your family. The reality of the situation is, is that if you can't appreciate what is surrounding you, then you probably don't deserve it.

So instead of complaining about "There's nothing to do in Florence" or wherever you live, just be.

"The present is a gift, and I just wanna be" - Common
