just a thought
i had a glimpse today back into my life from my 5-8th grade years. it made me want to throw this out there.
many of you are still in school, and if not, you have jobs, or you’re involved in SOMETHING where you’re around a group of people that you know, but maybe just on an acquaintances-basis. i just want to encourage everyone to look for that one person whos different. and by that, i mean the person who’s looked over, or maybe comes off a little shy or quiet, or maybe even seems straight up weird. if you haven’t reached out to them, just to say hello, or ask about a particular interest that you know you might have in common. it’s easy to get caught up in things going on in your own life & not take notice that maybe someone around you could use a just simple conversation.
in experience, i can tell you that in my younger years, i was probably seen as that ‘weird’ kid. i was an only child and i housed the craziest imagination with no one really to share it with. which was fine, i was oblivious to anything outside of my dream world usually, but i never quite understood why i didn’t have friends like most of the kids at school did. i think i set myself up for it, with my glowing alien necklaces & unicorn/fairy EVERYTHING, doing my hair just like gwen stefani did (not knowing you can only pull that off if you’re …gwen), buying clothes i thought might make them notice me, & making up stories that Reba Macentire was my Aunt just to have something that the other kids would want to talk to me about. hahah.
So without going on and on, I just want you to be the CHANGE, and go up to that person and say hello! The simplest things can be so huge. It’s hard to do that sometimes if you ponder it, so don’t think & just do it. Asking them just a couple simple questions about what they’re into or introducing them to one of your favorite bands or websites…just SOMETHING… might just make their whole year. And who knows, they might end up being awesome (usually i find they are ALWAYS the coolest & funniest people i’ve been blessed to encounter) and you’ll be so thankful for a new found friend.

the weird people are the best people!

theres this one song
that I used to love! It was named Minutes by a young man and/or band named Eli Keller. It was slow and somewhat emoish, but I loved it. I had to go to myspace music just to listen to it because Eli Keller wasn’t signed. Now, I cannot find the song anywhere. I remember writing down the lyrics as I listened because I loved it so much. I can’t even remember what it sounds like, but I remember how much I loved it. Here are the lyrics I found.
dont look surprise
it wears on your bones
it gets hard on your side
when it ruins you plans
that you had for the night
but you cant denie
your feel a bit scared, nervous insiude
but you dont understand
its not a matter of that
its a matter of time
if you feel inclined to write me
to tell me whats new in your life
about millons of bad dreams
that didnt seem so wrong when you looked at your life
the memories you had with your family and friends
i know they’d be here
if they knew you were here in this bed
you’ve lost all your strength
and will to get up and out of this bed
you said your body wont let you
i say its all in your head
it seems age has taken its toll
weakend your knees
slowing your heart
getting harder to breathe
if you feel inclined to write me
to tell me whats new in your life
about millons of bad dreams
that didnt seem so wrong when you looked at your life
the memories you had with your family and friends
i know they’d be here
if they knew you were here in this bed

After having delivered an eCommerce site to a client, he called me on the phone, explaining that he had experienced some problems ordering products. While on the phone, I explained to him that I would do a test order to see if I could reconstruct the problem he experienced. The ordering went fine, but suddenly he says
Client: “Wow, I got an order from you here. You want that Jacuzzi? I’d suggest [some Jacuzzi name] instead!”
Me: “As I explained to you, that was a test order. I don’t want any Jacuzzi”
Client: “Well, you ordered one, now you have to pay. I’ll just take it of your invoice.”
I had to reblog this! This is just so wrong and soo funny.
