Find Humor In You Day

Today I could not help finding humor in my surroundings. As I walked back from giving money to Farm Aid by purchasing a yummy Chipotle meal,best walk to work ever, I look in front of me and there is a hasidic Jewish man, transvestite, and cop, all about 2 yards in front of me. I had to laugh at the crazy yet normal world I find myself in, in Manhattan. Then as I got further down the street there are two cabs parked side by side in which the drivers are screaming at each other. The dueling cabbies usually would not be as humourous to me but I had to laugh when one told the other to stick something up one of his orfices. When I finally reach the elevator, which seems to magically have perfect timing whenever I’m in a good mood, I overhear a conversation where one gentleman is discussing how gingerale is one of his vices. “Not the worst one can have,” he concludes. But this strange array of events just made me think, if only when I am feeling down I could look around and laugh how better life would be.

Rolls For All Seasons

So it has come to my attention today there is a great dilemma facing most people, a question I fear no one may have the answer to. What is the difference between a Spring roll, summer roll, autumn roll, and winter roll?

I was about to order some cuisine of the Chinese persuasion, when the issue hit me right over the head. I saw all four rolls listed on a menu. I had been browsing a site called seamless web, the lazy persons way to food consumption, to which I have become addicted to, deciding which of the thousands of Chinese restaurants in Manhattan to choose. Of course there were no rollover descriptions on them, urgh the torture. I quickly polled my coworkers, but no one had any idea. Are they classified by their outer shells, is it the meats or lack there of inside that give them their names, or is it some historical story of seasonal consumptions past, that identify these little mysteries? This shall need further investigation.

Joy In A Juice Box

Ok so today I got up feeling rotten. After waking from yet another nightmare, I actually turned my alarm off before it went off. My mind ran from one negative thought after another, and after about a half hour my snagged nail almost brought me to tears, ridiculous! I did find pleasure watching my Adam sleep, he was so handsome so peaceful. Trudging to the office I was tired, cranky, and did not notice any smiles on any New Yorkers’ faces. Funny how when you are in a good mood you see puppies, children laughing, and people smiling, but this morning I was the opposite. By lunch I was thinking how yucky I felt, even started loosing my voice. Was I really sick or did my daft thoughts cause it? In any case, I needed to retreat from the emails and administrative duties of work. At 12:30 pm I headed off to lunch. In an attempt to get my spirits up I went to burgers and cupcakes. Well I ended up with the best turkey burger ever and a really fab cupcake, yum. I ate all of this at the Starbucks in my building where I also obtained an iced tea and an apple juice, juice box. After my meal I looked around and realized I had not appreciated anything really all day until that moment. I said to myself I am going to find something to enjoy, I looked up at the cookie cutter paintings on the Starbucks wall and enjoyed the color, and then I look to the right and on a chalkboard was written, in big letters, enjoy the day.
