The problem with the expression “Strangers are simply friends you haven’t met yet” is that my friends probably wouldn’t mind — quite so much — when I playfully whip their butts with my towel when I walk behind them at the gym.
I’ve decided that in order to increase my eccentricity factor, from this day forth, instead of simply ordering anything like a normal person, I shall now request [descriptive name of item] plus the word “action”.
For example, if I want coffee, I shall now order “hot coffee action”.
If I want a bagel, I shall request “sweet blueberry bagel action”.
Oh yes.
It took me a while to get to this point, but now that I’m on the brink of making this transition, it just feels right.
Awww yeah. We’ve got some eccentric decision making action going on right here.
When I have a family, I’m thinking about naming one of my children Exception.
That way I can have fun conversations like…
“Hey, did you hear about the new park opening up?”
“New park, eh? I think I’ll take Exception to that!”
“Why, are you offended?”
“No, no. Exception is my son.”
“WHY would you name your child Exce–”
Of course, I want to be informed and know what’s going on in the world. But the non stop fear cycle is tiring. And so much news nowadays is just biased spin now.
I realize we are responsible for what we watch, but I can’t help but think the world might be less afraid if we weren’t constantly barraged with fear messages.
That awkward infinite brain loop that happens when you start thinking about all the things you may have forgotten in your life, but you can’t remember them because you can’t remember them. O_o
