The first thing I packed was my record player.
It seemed like the right thing to do.
It can spin and flourish with a breath of new air.
I won’t put on a sad song.

A story
I had a crazy soccer coach in high school. I think that’s perhaps an understatement, but let’s proceed.
One morning he arrived at our Saturday morning practice session completely furious and told us this story:
“Well, I was standing in line at McDonalds, and they were being really slow. And of course, I was in a hurry to get here and make you guys do tour-de-hills, and the guy behind me….well, he was antagonizing me. He kept saying, “What’s their problem? Why can’t they do their jobs right?” They had messed up the order in front of me, and all of the workers were moving in slow motion, save this one lady. And so by the time I got to the front of the line, I was steaming mad. I pointed to the lady who appeared to actually be working, and said “You! You are doing a good job! The rest of you, however, act like you are still asleep! You need to do your jobs and do them right! Now give me a damned Egg McMuffin, take it from the counter, shove it in my bag, and I will pay and be on my way.”
He got kicked out of the local McDee’s that day. When he told us the story, he got mad all over again and the vein on his forehead started popping out. We found this very humorous, and would periodically beg for him to tell us the Egg McMuffin story, but only if we could tell he was in a good mood.
It was funny every time. And every time, he tried to blame the man behind him in line. The End.
ps. there are more where this came from- just wait and see :)
You know when you are out in public and you do something embarrassing? And by embarrassing, I just mean that you do something that you would normally do….only other people actually see you.
Well I did that last night ..I was at the mall…walked past a dress I loved and gasped out loud, and it’s also possible that I commented about how fantastic it was, only to look up to see 2 people watching me. Ah glorious.

“Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting.”
—Dr. Seuss (via misswallflower)
A story
Yesterday, during my run I come up behind a guy walking his dog. As per my standard procedure, I say “Excuse me.”
I thought he heard me; he appeared to move over to the left side. I thought, well ok, most people move to the right, but that’s cool. So as I got a lil closer, I repeated “Excuse me” one more time for fair warning.
But apparently he didn’t hear me either time, and I start to pass him, and he turned around and man-screamed. I scared him! In broad daylight! And I mean, I’m not a sneaky runner- I huff and puff and pant and pound the pavement. Perhaps he had some earphones in that I didn’t see…
I kinda felt bad for him, but I seriously almost had to stop because I was laughing so hard. I mean, have you heard a man-scream? That junk is funny.
