I dated a guy once who broke up with me because I sprayed water guns, danced in the rain and tried to make every moment fun, even if I looked like a fool in the process.
If you've ever watched Hee-Haw and checked the cornfield closely, I'm probably in there somewhere.
Seems like I pull all of my life changing decisions out of a Fruity Pebbles box.
There was a time in my life when I ordered "Unhappy Meals" from McDonalds. Life in general was very depressing. Yes, I had a black belt in sadness. I was totally "Pro" at it...hence the black belt.
And then one day I woke up a butterfly
I found that when I wallowed in negativity, negative things happened. I made my own life turn around, though. My entire brain just needed to learn a lesson. Even the medula oblangata was in on it.
Armed with my razor sharp wit and my Backpack of Awesomeness, I set out to accomplish great things. My thought processing part of me said to be positive and be totally "Pro" about it. I earned my black belt in positivity.
While you are at it, spray someone with a water hose.
Also, here is a picture of a black-eyed pea because well, I love ya'll. You are welcome.
Being positive is almost always better than being negative. Unless it's for some medical test because being positive means you have something and that's usually very bad.
ReplyDeleteSadly the temperatures you forecast for December 21st are our norm. (Ok, I msy hsve exaggerated a little.)
ReplyDeleteWater hoses, fireworks, balloons and silliness are more fun than any of the alteratives. And besides, I am lazy and they tell me it takes more muscles to frown than it does to smile.
Have a wonderful fun (and food) filled Christmas.
I bet the weather channel will borrow (steal) your asteroid signs instead of cloudy or sunny.
ReplyDeleteHey, want to have a squirt gun fight?
Lol! I kind of want to print out your black eyed pea and put it on my pinboard at work.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure if a meteor was about to hit the Earth we'd know it by now. I don't think it's going to be something natural if the world ends, we'd have some sign by now. You're super cool though so there's no need to be normal or anything.
ReplyDeleteSilliness is the only option. The problem I have is balancing on the edge of silliness and madness. I really want a Mayan cookie now. The Medula Oblongata saying "S'Up" made me laugh. It still makes me laugh, I just went back and looked at it again. Glad you retrained your brain!
ReplyDeleteA Mayan cookie sounds grand and pfffft to any doomsday across the land. All made up by some chump who has their brains in their rump.
ReplyDeleteOne time staying at my friends house, before she could ask me how I had slept, I said 'I have emerged from my chrysalis a beautiful butterfly.'
ReplyDeleteWhy, that's the cutest li'l brain stem I ever did see! (That was my best down-homey, old-timey, hee-hawy speech pattern imitation there, in case you couldn't tell).
ReplyDeleteYay, someone else on the side of positivity! I always have people tell me I'm an inspiration to them because I'm so positive about everything. My answer to them, I have to be! Who else is going to fight all the negativity in this world?
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining forces with me! :)
Black-eyed pea, funny!
ReplyDeleteI think silliness is such a positive trait in a person. What the hell was wrong with your ex-boyfriend...other than the fact he was a major chump.
ReplyDeleteI think you should just move to Kansas. I have reasons. Here we have plenty of cornfields. (no need to watch Hee Haw reruns). You could hang out at the OZ museum, wearing a Dorothy costume and no one would think you stand out and it is an amazingly happy place. I think part of the happy factor is because the OZ Winery is next door. But the real reason to move here is we could hang out and shoot water guns together.
As far as the Mayan prediction...I think the reason the Mayans disappeared (not so much disappeared as much as coming up with new identities) is they didn't want to embarrass themselves with having a MAJOR fail of a calendar. Watch carefully on the 21st. The Mayans will be the ones shuffling their feet and looking embarrassed.
Never knew there was an Oz museum! And Kansas is a real place? Wow!
DeleteWhether the end of the world comes on the 21st or not, I think you're right, we should always seek to make each day fun!
ReplyDeleteReally funny stuff!! Again.
ReplyDeleteIf I meet a Myan on Dec 22 and he says, "I told you so!" I am going to punch that mother plucker in the face.
Love the weather calander
First of all, thanks for the pea! Second, I like you even moire for water gus and danciung in the rain! Maybe the asteroid will be made out of marsmallow!
ReplyDeleteOne guy broke up with me because he said that I didn't take life seriously, and as we know, all men like to date depressed women who moan constantly about the mediocrity of their lives. Maybe mediocrity is the new sexy.
ReplyDeleteOne of the theories about Dec 21st, is alien abduction. Alien Probing? Yaay, a date at last! :)
Hey Tracy, it's been way too long since I've visited your site. You are gifted and work is a scream.
ReplyDeleteTake care.

I'm pretty sure the world won't end. I hope. Cuz I have a baller post for Christmas eve coming.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you dip in life lessons among all the funny. You're 100% right. If you start acting positive and thinking positive it also is self-fulfilling. And a backpack full of awesome? I've misplaced mine, do you know where I can get another?
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Black Eyed Pea. Girl you are great!
ReplyDeleteIf it ends, I just hope it happens really fast, before I have a chance to notice. Preferably while I'm in the middle of eating a really good cheeseburger.
ReplyDeleteTracie I hope you'll come by and make our blogfest fun on the 21st! After reading this I really want to know your own personal Apocalypse plan. Here's the link:
ReplyDeleteConsider yourself invited to the first ever Apocalypse Blogfest. Where you get to design your own Apocalypse. Shannon Lawrence from The Warrior Muse and I are co-hosting this badboy and would love for you to share your thoughts. The date of course is 12.21.12.
Here is the link to my post about it:

I think waterguns and dancing in the rain is a very attractive trait, although maybe not at a cocktail party.
ReplyDeleteLove black-eyed peas. Hoppin' John. Mmmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteGotta go cook, now.
My medulla needs a chat.
ReplyDeleteYour blog makes me smile, which makes me happier in general.
ReplyDeleteWhenever there is a choice, choose happiness. The more you do, the more happiness you have.
ReplyDeleteLove that black-eyed pea!
ReplyDeleteA positive attitude is always a good thing.
So true. I used to be really unhappy until I realized that only I could be responsible for my own happiness.
ReplyDeleteChanging one's perspective is always the first thing needed before getting that black belt in positivity. :-)
meteor huh? I was hoping zombie apocalypse! Wishful thinking I guess ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's better to be happy and silly, than the the alternative.
ReplyDeleteYay!

Your wit and talent will get you far in this world. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteI am working on turning myself around... I prefer to be silly and happy.... then sad and depressing. :)
ReplyDeleteI have always lived by the saying "If you don't laugh, you will cry." So I am always looking for reasons to laugh. Luckily, my sweet babies give me plenty of reason to laugh. Why be serious?? Water guns and sprinklers are so much better.
