Why? Things I Do That Even I Do Not Understand About Myself!
Today I was sitting at work and I realized I forgot to put on deodorant this morning. I know everyone forgets this important, friend keeping invention from time to time, but I forget it on a rather regular basis. Before you get all grossed out, let me assure you that I keep an extra in my desk at work and in my car. I just find it sad that I need to have extra sticks of D.O. for the B.O. around because I can not manage to remember it in the morning. All this questioning has lead me to ask a very important question: Why?!! There are many things I do in my life that I just don't understand and would probably be considered strange human behavior. For instance, sharing all the strange things I do with my blog cousins. I stole that from Bon and Tay. If you missed their comedy routine blogging tips check it here or here.
Why do I make a big stink (not about the D.O. this time!) about breaking rules or being a rebel and then freak out when I actually do it. Case in point, I have been grumpy that folks at work have been wearing clothes that are out of dress code. I mean even the principal wore shorts. Why am I spending time getting ready in the morning when those who have better jobs than me dress worse than me? Welp, this morning I said "Not today!" I wore my cute black and white shorts with a nice shirt and marched my sweet butt into work like the brazen hussy I imagine myself to.
As soon as I walked in the office I hid! Every time I heard someone say something like "I guess it is summertime rules" I died inside because it had to be about me. I am sure that it is a good think that I do not have Antisocial personality disorder and have the ability to feel guilt when I do stupid things. It also probably didn't help that about 35 people where in here today for meetings which only magnified my shame.
Why do I love Michael Jackson's Man In The Mirror so much? I went to an amazing Angel's baseball game this last weekend. The Angel's won and I saw a concert by Billy Currington for 10 bucks! Can't beat that! Billy is a country singer for all you who are like, "Who the heck is that. He must be a nobody. That is why she paid $10." He actually is pretty legit and has many songs on country radio.
All this to say my favorite part was when he sang Man in the Mirror by Michael Jackson. I sang that song like it was my own. Everyone sitting around me was staring and it was magical. Afterwards I realized I just sang Man in the Mirror as loud as I could while backing up a country singer's cover of the song at Angel Stadium. Who am I?
Why do I lie sometimes for no reason? Sometimes when people catch me off guard with their questions my first reply is a lie. What the heck is up with that? One time at Subway the sandwich artist asked me if my husband was in the navy. I said no my dad was. LIE! My dad was in the air force. I actually wrote about this story here.
At work yesterday I changed into workout clothes. One of my coworkers saw me and asked if I was going swimming (Weird question considering i was just wearing gym clothes) I said I was going for a run. LIE! I was really going across the street to the driving range.
Why do I go see the Fast and Furious movies?I have seen each of the Fast and Furious movies. I have no idea why. I cannot tell you anything about them other than they have cars, they use NOS to win the races, Paul Walker is cute, and a five year old writes the movies.
I went to see Fast and Furious 6 today at the three dollar theater. I laughed so hard during that movie! Not the effect they were going for though. Even though I talk a big talk and act like I will never see any of the movies again in my life I have already made tentative plans to see the seventh movie when it comes out next year. I rock.
I realized that I have so many things I do that make me questionable company in just one weekend. I am happy I still have friends. At least with a blog you don't have to claim me as a friend or see me livin' my life all free and easy.
I love Man in the Mirror (and BillyC!). And I forget deodorant more than I care to admit...unfortunately, I haven't stocked up on "back ups" to have have in various places. I should probably do that...
