Friday Quotes - Dr. Seuss

"We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

- Dr. Seuss

Rockin' and Rollin'



This is my Youtube Playlist I listen to at work. I'm always adding to it - and I usually change the first song every now and again and put it on shuffle.

Let me know what you think and if you have any suggestions!

(Yes, I do realize there is no Techno Viking in there... and that is sad...)

Wednesday's Awesome Japanese Music Video

This should be a new feature here. Maybe it'll happen!

Videos like this make me want to live in Japan for a while.
Yes, I'm a bit of a Japanophile!
If it weren't so expensive to live there I'd definitely do it. (see #'s 4 and 12 on the bucket list!)



World Order's videos are great! The 'main' guy in this group is Genki Sudo, a retired Mixed Martial Artist - and I just love these videos!

Here they are in New York!


Makes me smile.

Looks Like We Are All Still Here...

And I think for now that's a good thing!

I had a lot of fun this weekend, both with the Relay Race that I was in and seeing all the fun and excitement as people waited for the Rapture to happen... (My sunburn HURTS today!)


Some of my favorite things I saw/read
Facebook and Twitter Updates:
  • "Happy rapture day! To celebrate, I'm going to" (Friend's FB Status)
    • She never acted holier-than-thou, but maybe she actually was...
    • It's 6:55 p.m. where I am, now. Looks like I missed the rapture so I won't be joining you. I think I'll get my gun and start wandering the streets looking for potential zombies before they come looking for me.
  • "Who wants to help me fill blow-up dolls with helium and release them tomorrow?" @kellyoxford
Pictures:
Velocirapture! (From Threadless - not sure of true source atm sorry!)


That was awkward... (from someecards - hilarious site)

More Raptors (From Win!)

I'll be happy to Judge you (someecards again!)
someecards.com - If the Rapture doesn't happen I'll be more than happy to judge you

Overall it was fun seeing the creativity of people in this situation. :)

(Last Ever) Song of the Day

(Maybe...)



Dang... Looks like I might not be able to finish everything on my bucket list... or ANYTHING!? Good luck everybody!

In my younger days while rocking out to this song with friends, we'd always yell
LEONARD BERNSTEIN!!
Very loudly when that part came on. Good song.

See you all in the afterlife! :)

UPDATE: So I guess it isn't the end quite yet. Some lucky people will be RAPTURED tomorrow, the rest of us have to wait another 5 or 6 months until the end. Hooray!

Friday Quotes - Dr. Seuss

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

- Dr. Seuss

10 years ago this coming Monday - I met a stunning and amazing woman for the very first time. 1 day shy of 3 months later - we were married!!

I. Am. In. Love!

My reality is SO MUCH better than my dreams! All thanks to her!

Awkwardness

(Awkward Family Photos is hilarious)
A few weeks ago as I was driving home from work - I exited the freeway and into the left turn lane to head home. I looked to my right and, what do you know? Two good friends from High School who had married were in the next lane!

I waved at them and they waved back, looked happy to see me (it's really been years!) then I started to unroll the passenger window to yell quick obscenities greetings at them before the light turned green and they both got a really uncomfortable looks on their faces and pretended like I wasn't there... So I rolled down my other window (it was pretty nice out even though the weather has been very fickle this 'Spring') and drove on when the light turned.

In response to this experience, I added another line to my bucket list...

  • Awkwardness is a choice - DON'T be awkward
Everybody has awkward moments in life - heck for most people the entire ages from 11-18 are full of almost 100 % awkwardness. But really - it doesn't HAVE to be that way.

If you choose not to let something make you feel awkward - it won't feel awkward! Laugh at it! Enjoy it! Life is amazing and we make it much too complicated and awkward for ourselves.


Granted, like everything else in life, you can't control how other people react, and more often then not people sure like to make things more awkward than they need to be.

I'm also not saying these friends did anything wrong either. It WAS a weird situation, in a very busy and fast moving intersection.

It just made me realize that too often in my life I've hemmed and hawed and made things awkward for myself! NO MORE!

Man... what an awkward post! :D
