Here's My Thing

Clout is when you can get me to buy something I don't want.

I'm just going to say it: all red wine tastes the same. The main difference is some are more confrontational with the taste buds than others. Also, sponges are disgusting. I love the idea of them, however, I just can't help but believe that they are a hotel for bacteria. Every time I'm around a sponge that is over a day old my allergies act up, regardless of whether or not I'm taking my Zyrtec. Enjoy!

The subtle brilliance that comes from putting 5 books on a piece of wood is incredible. Look, if you're not occupying that space, what are you doing? That's precious real estate.

But actually though... why is this a thing?

After watching the heated exchanged between the Lakers and Rockets, I couldn't help but draw a connection to the infamous "Malice At The Palace." *I was off in terms of what I thought they got fined then and what JR Smith is potentially going to get fined now*

For the 21st installment of THE Monday Morning Commute, I express my thoughts about allergies, then set the stage for bowling shoes which ultimately finds it's way into velcro. Let's have a tremendous day everyone. Enjoy!

Hopped in a Lyft at 4:30 AM to go to the airport last week. The mood was there, my luggage fit in the trunk (the car was a Yaris so that was a win), the driver was kind. However, she played a stand-up comedy routine at 4:30 in the morning - the volume was way up. It threw off an otherwise beautiful moment and from there I wasn't sure if this was appropriate or if I should've taken action.

The optimal amount of luxury.

I firmly believe that vegan desserts shouldn't be a thing, however, I caved against that belief the other day. Not to exaggerate or blow things out of proportion, but I very well may have had a cookie that has now graced my top 10 list.

How essential are essential oils? In all honesty, I don't fully know what an essential oil is or what it does. I think it's an oil that's essential...? Apparently, olive oil isn't an essential oil, which makes no sense to me at all. The only "essential oils" that I know of are lavender and tea tree - both a little overrate in my opinion. There has to be more, ya? Enjoy!

Econ 101, class is in session. Are fruit snacks actually good, or are they good because we have them in such small quantities? What about caviar? You're telling me people actually like caviar...? Let's make caviar $5 a tub and see if anyone actually buys it.

The original plan for this episode was to talk about sweatbands and playlists, but on my way to record this episode, I ripped my pants getting into my car. So the first half of this episode is pretty much raw emotion towards what happened. After that, I talk about how I can't make a good playlist at all. Never have been able to curate a list that flows properly... and I don't think I am being too hard on myself either. Have a great day. Enjoy!

I don't think Dippin' Dots are good, I think they are fun. There is a difference. What happened to them? I think you can only get them at stadiums now... is that just me or does anyone else notice that?

There is a direct correlation between how many U-turns you make, and how happy you are with your car. U-turns provide G-Force, but controlled G-force at that. I think we associate U-turns with making a mistake because we usually make a U-turn after we missed a turn. Let's not compound that error and contaminate the punch that is the "Uey".

50% of broken arms in 1st-4th grade came from playing on the monkey bars.

Got called "Honey" by a stranger and it felt good. The best part about it was that I don't think she was thinking about it when she said it. Like it was a part of her normal rotation of words and was one of the lucky ones that got to hear it. It's becoming more and more apparent that subtle compliments can be great joys in life. Also, let's just get it straight that tickling is terrible. It isn't fun. It doesn't feel good. It's uncomfortable and annoying. Hey, let's have a tremendous week. Enjoy!

Why are all dress socks mid-leg? Why don't we have ankle exposing dress socks? Because we might get blisters? Let's pad up the socks then. Why are dress socks always that thin, slick material? Am I inferior if I wear lower leg Nike Drift socks with my suit?

Attended my first ever WWE event on Tuesday. Placed my thoughts, feelings, and takeaways into a crockpot, set the heat to low, went out and about for the day, came home around 6:00, turned the crock pot off, opened the lid and this is what came out.

I know that there is going to be a moment in my life, where I am going to need a pair of cowboy boots. It's a gut feeling really. I don't want to get to this moment, look into my closet, and see everything but a pair of cowboy boots - it's imperative that I take action. But how do I go about this? I think it starts with a trip to some sort of western boutique, and for authenticity purposes let's start it in Texas? I believe the saying goes: failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

The answer is in any drama on CBS, ABC, TNT, TBS, and/or NBC.
