October fest?
Ok raise your hand if you throw a lot of Halloween parties? Now put it down if you are over the age of 22. I see no hands.... So I'm wondering how people make a lot money with things like Halloween invitations. Are there enough little kid and college parties for these people to make money? Or is it that the difference between halloween invitations and birthday invitations is so minimal cost-wise that they might as well make them as well as many other types of goofy things. I'm going to guess that it's the latter.
Kai-yo-TEE
I loved the coyote and road runner. Those cartoons fit right into my imagination. Tons of crazy contraptions developed in overly complex ways to catch the skinniest dinner ever to don feathers. It was great. Even the
acne supplies, er I mean acme supplies. I wonder where they came up with that company name anyway? It sounded fake even as a kid, so I guess they chose well. I really miss looney tunes being on on Saturdays now. I would still watch it now if it was.
Tale of The Tape
I never owned one of those
tape drives. I had a portable zip drive in college that seems laughable now. A WHOLE GIG on one disk??? Now you can fit 2 gigs on a stick-of-gum-sized jump drive. Plus jump drives are way easier to use. Plug and pray, I mean play seems to work pretty well anymore. I realize that my kids are going to be horrified that I had to use actual encyclopedias in school and that I didn't really even hear about the internet until college. This is my generations "CD". Which, btw, are also obsolete.
I love it
I love fitness. I love reading about muscle gaining,
weight loss, and updates to dietary knowledge. I love it. I really have no idea where it came from but I do really enjoy it. It amazes me how little most people know about it as well. There are still so many people that are totally in the dark about the most basic points of healthy living. I'm not perfect by any stretch but I just am constantly amazed at how the mass marketing of silly devices and fad diets has clouded the minds of so many people that they think that crazy things are the keys. Hopefully in time that can be changed.
Everything but the...
I've learned a lot about being handy over the years. I hate not knowing how to do things so I try to take opportunities to learn whenever I can. I feel like less of a man when I have to ask someone to help me with some sort of project or job that I can't do myself, so my goal is to only have to ask about any one particular thing once, and then do it myself the next time. There are exceptions though. I tackled our
kitchen sinks on my own at our old house and just figured I'd learn as I go. That is how I think the really smart people operate, so what works for them is probably the right path to take. The other is asking questions once I know a little bit so that the questions sound credible and I learn more without ever having to feel like an idiot.
