Sun-Day

So I think it's pretty stinking important to remain humble in life.  I was sitting on my couch last night realizing how incredibly fortunate I am to have whole-house air.  Anyone who reads this is aware of how insanely hot and humid it's been out there.  Wow.  I am also fortunate to work in air-conditioning.. AND have air-conditioning in my Car on the way from the cool office to the cool house!  MAN am I lucky!

I feel for the dudes and gals that have chosen their occupation outdoors.  Roofers?  REALLY?  I think they should just call off when it's This hot.  I mean.. most people I know are not going to take all the proper precautions..  Drink plenty of water.. Take lots of breaks in the shade.. Don't over exert yourself..  Wear sunscreen.. light-colored clothing, etc.  Let's face it, most roofers you see are men.  And men seem to be very reluctant to wear sunscreen, drink spring water and eat plenty of fruits and vegetables for that matter.   They are MEN and men have a reputation - going WAY back - of being Tough.  "manly".  Hence them being "men".  I hate the macho-man syndrome tho that a Lot of guys seem to have.  You should be able to eat, drink and wear whatever the hell you want and still be rough, tough and manly.  Okay, so a guy wearing a light pink tank top with a flamingo on it, while he sips his mango spritzer through a straw sounds a little effeminate.  I guess there are lines.  Just like you're unlikely to see a chic wear a tuxedo jacket while slinging back a shot o' Jack.  But.. it's been done.

There is a guy I know who is physically disabled.  Very physically disabled.  And he refuses to accept disability benefits from the government.  I also know some people who don't really have a disability..  yet they gladly accept  these handouts from the gov't.  One can also obtain a handicapped placard for their vehicle, very easily.  Leave the handicapped spots for the people who REALLY NEED THEM.  

So I'm going to therapy and it feels REALLY good.  I think a lot of people would benefit from therapy.  Unless you've had One Perfect Childhood.  I definitely don't know anyone who has.  Has anyone??  It's really quite amazing just how much of an impact our childhood has on us as adults.  I mean.. childhood issues and experiences will stay with us until we're dead.  We hold a Lot inside.  A lot more than we even realize.  It's Very important to get it out.. and professionals have the magic touch, to get it out in the manner in wich it needs to come out.  I felt better after just One session.  Cool. 

I would like to give a shout out to Jim Krenn.  Comedian and radio show host of DVE.  He is a very funny man, with a Huge heart, who has done a SHITLOAD to help animals and shelters for years.  Saw his stand-up act finally.  It was terrific.  I've been listening to him for years, but I've never seen  him in the flesh.  And to my surprise..  he was a little hottie.  Haha..  Bonus. 

Have a great (muggy) weekend ya'll!
