Nirvana Among the Couch Cusions

Alright bros and bras, so I had two other ideas for possible posts to write about tonight but sometimes, the mood strikes at the last minute to write about something entirely unrelated. So, as I sit here in my coziest of pj's (Olaf onesie for the dorky win!) I want to refer back to last weeks post.


Some things in life are fantastic but highly underrated and under appreciated and sometimes, we just have to take a moment to give those seemingly small things due praise. 

 Can we just stop and appreciate that oh so relaxed feeling we get at night, when we've had ourselves a very busy and productive day and at the end of it all, a beautiful union occurs? You know the one. That glorious moment when our ass finally lands itself in our spot on the couch or in our recliner. 

 Awww yeaaa. Magic. 

 Today was one of those such days for me. I woke up, ran errands, went to work, went to the gym (and beat my cardio record I might add), and then I got home with the food I treated myself with, made my way to the living room, and sunk into my Sheldon spot. That's right. That perfect spot on the couch with the perfect indent for the perfect level of comfort in order to find perfect relaxation. 

 Judge all you want, but if you don't have such a spot for yourself, you're doing it wrong.

 So there I was, getting comfortable in my spot with an episode of Castle when that feeling washed over me of soul reaching satisfaction and serenity. 

 It's the same feeling I get when my head hits the pillow after a day helping out on my aunt and uncles farm (something I don't get to do nearly as much as I would like). It's also the same feeling I get those unfortunate few minutes after my alarm clock has gone off in the morning when I debate how vital it really is that I get up, be an adult, and go to work. I mean, surely the world will understand that after a night of tossing and turning my pillow has finally awarded me with nirvana? Right? No? Okay, well, time to get up. 

 Except this time, I don't and that's what makes this particular feeling so worthy of noting. It's night, I've already done what I had to do for the day and I'll be damned if I'm going to leave this particular comfort zone until I'm good and ready to trade it in for bed. 

 Like I said, some things just merit us paying them just a little more appreciation. Too often we sigh in relief/enjoyment only to forget the feeling moments later when what we should be doing is taking a mental video to motivate ourselves with during a long day.

 -Ugh, this day feels like it's never going to end... actually, it will and when it does, I'm going show that couch who's boss!

 So, take a moment if you will to pay tribute to your spot. It has been there for you like a nice hug after a bad day, it's only fair you pay it some appreciation. Don't have a spot you call your spot? You probably need it all the more!  

Go forth my fellow bros and bras, commune with the couch gods and find your nirvana!

Cheers!

Keep Calm and Carry On My Wayward Son

What is it about a crisis, big or small, that makes us panic and freak out? Why does the unknown cause our hearts to beat faster and the little people in our brains to yell “Abort! Abort!” as they hit the big red self-destruct button? I’ve seen people jumping up and down freaking out about a little stove fire, completely forgetting the need to put it out, let alone the how.  I’ve seen those afraid of the dark forget they own candles and flashlights the moment the lights start to flicker.  I’ve seen a sober person at a party panicking as they try to locate someone to drive an injured individual to the hospital, completely forget that they themselves are qualified to drive.  The solutions are staring them in the face but they are momentarily reduced to the same frozen response a deer suffers when caught in the headlights.  A person can be the most level headed, logical person you’ve ever met, they could even be the most prepared for a situation, but w...

A Bra Among Bros

So if you’re like me, you probably tend to hang around guys more than you do girls.  Contrary to what other girls may think, this has nothing to do with being promiscuous or trying to pick up. Alright, for some of you it might be, and in such cases have fun.  Honestly who am I to judge, it’s your body and your decision to do with it as you please.  This is the twenty first century and the double standard of guys being labeled heroes while girls are being labeled as sluts is a concept that really does need to be fed to a pool of starving piranhas. Destroy the mindset.  Everyone is human, everyone has needs, and if everyone involved is of age and it isn’t hurting anyone… why should it be anyone else’s business? Back on point, guys are usually just easier to get along with (Though there are always a small group of female exceptions).  The conversations are more often than not less dramatic, the friendships are easier to maintain, and you have less necessity ...

Recharging Your Social

If you're an introvert, you know what it's like to be peopled-out. While I am one of those few people who is evenly distributed between being an introvert and an extrovert, I often find that working in public service results in a higher need for me to set hanging out with friends aside in order to recharge my social batteries. Extroverts sometimes have difficulty understanding this need as they try to present the fact that they are low maintenance/really easy going, or just want to do something relaxing together. In their mind, watching a movie with them is no different than watching a movie alone as there would be little communication going on anyway. While it is true that some people are easier to be around in certain moods, sometimes a need to recharge means a need to be completely alone with yourself for a while.  For an introvert, or someone with introvert tendencies, being tired doesn't always mean you are sleepy, it means you are emotionally drained in t...
