Something\u2019s on my mind. Not a fact. Just an honest question.<\/p>\n
Could it be possible that I\u2019m actually\u2026a tiny<\/em> bit\u2026famous?<\/p>\n
Weird question. Maybe off-putting? My fault. I really don\u2019t want to offend you. It makes me sad when people get upset. Look, I know I\u2019m not a movie star. Or some kind of great athlete. So, let\u2019s not call it \u201cfamous.\u201d But maybe\u2026a little recognizable?<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the thing:<\/p>\n
I get these cool reactions from strangers. Happens ALL the time. Almost. Every. Day. We can\u2019t pretend it doesn\u2019t exist. So, forgive me if this sounds like bragging. Again, please don\u2019t get mad. I really don\u2019t know how else to put it \u2013 a lot of people DO come up to me. And, if we\u2019re being totally honest\u2026<\/p>\n
I kind of love it.<\/p>\n
Lemme break down the pattern. Out minding my own business. Looking for food or whatever. And then I meet eyes with a total stranger. They light up. Almost as if they know me. Women, in particular. Not exactly the worst part of my day. Sometimes they\u2019ll just smile. Often, they linger to talk for a while. You might be wondering\u2026am I looking my best? Nope. Usually just dirty and out for a walk. But. It. Doesn\u2019t. Matter. The attention keeps coming. \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
I know this sounds like bragging.<\/p>\n
Trust me. Totally not the case. Let\u2019s run through the list. I\u2019m overweight. Gassy. Apparently, I even drool when sleeping. And my breath? Not always minty fresh. Which is EXACTLY my point. This is not an awesome list of traits. Almost like nothing<\/em> stops people from being excited to see me.<\/p>\n
Oh yeah, one more. Don\u2019t get me started on what it\u2019s like when I\u2019m hungry. Oof. Just a total pain in the butt. I get moody. Almost like nothing exists in the world beyond my next meal.<\/p>\n
So, you\u2019ve heard actual celebrities talk about what it\u2019s like to get approached. How lame it is? Right? Well, lean in closely and I\u2019ll tell you the truth\u2026<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the best.<\/p>\n
Now, I\u2019m not a celebrity. And, at times, I wonder if I\u2019ve landed in some cool\/unique crack in the universe. Kind of a like a black hole \u2013 but an awesome one. Is life perfect? Of course not. You should see how many squirrels are tearing up my yard as we speak. Annoying. Or how about society? Are human beings perfect? \u00a0<\/p>\n
Nope.<\/p>\n
I mean, what\u2019s with ALL the drama? So unnecessary. Even the \u201cimportant\u201d things like jobs and money? All of it is just randomness that someone made up along the way. But there\u2019s a flip side. Humans do invent some pretty cool stuff too\u2026<\/p>\n
When\u2019s the last time you really stopped for a second to appreciate something simple? Like cars. Seems like everyone drives them. But I remain in TOTAL awe. Wanna do a fun experiment today? Roll down your windows. Hit a long stretch of open road. And feel that breeze. Really feel<\/em> it. Get lost in the bliss.<\/p>\n
Slice of heaven, if you ask me.<\/p>\n
Sure, sometimes it feels like I live for the weekends. Gets a bit lonely during the workday. But that\u2019s why I try to make the most of holidays. Hanging out. All the little things. Like tossing a ball around with the best people in the world. My family.<\/p>\n
Maybe some occasions are a bit<\/em> too much\u2026<\/p>\n
Like, do we really need to light fireworks for everything? So excessive. Thanksgiving is more my speed. Just a big ol\u2019 pile of turkey and a long nap on the couch. Can\u2019t wait for that chill time. But before it arrives\u2026<\/p>\n
We endure my least favorite holiday\u2026<\/p>\n
The complete and total mess in late October.<\/p>\n
I mean, come on.<\/p>\n
Costumes? Really?<\/p>\n
Makes no sense why anyone would call it fun. Not my thing at all. Ok, maybe I\u2019m being cranky. But it feels weird having all that stuff on me. So uncomfortable. And if we\u2019re being totally<\/em> honest? I do this crazy thing. Kind of like\u2026I just freeze. Embarrassing to say out loud. Not sure why I do that. But it\u2019s almost like my brain clicks off. Then I get motionless.<\/p>\n
Oh boy, here they come now.<\/p>\n
They want me to try on costumes?<\/p>\n
Now? Already?<\/p>\n
Why would they do this to me????<\/p>\n
OH BOY, THEY\u2019RE TRYING TO PUT IT ON.<\/p>\n
Ok, gotta run.<\/p>\n
AHHHHH IT\u2019S ON ME!!!!!!!!!!! I\u2019M TRAPPED!!!!!!!!!!<\/p>\n
