It’s Wednesday Roundup time again, and that title just came to me, because there is no theme again today and I like the No Rhyme Just Reason title better than simply saying random, though today’s post is pretty random.
But anyway, here we go…
I just thought this post was so funny, and that head nod before walking off — hilarious. I mean this would be disgusting behavior if someone really did this, but in this skit it’s funny. And as a fellow tall person who’s been asked to get something for someone off the top shelf, sometimes I just want to say no. Sometimes I want to be like, “I don’t work here,” or maybe just ignore them and keep going. I don’t know why, it’s such a simple request, but it can be annoying. It hasn’t happened in a while though, so watch, next time I’m at the store, some short person or some elderly person will ask me to get something for them off the top shelf…and of course, I’ll oblige.
I loved this. It makes me feel seen. Sometimes I have friendship FOMO, especially when I see these relationships on TV, or social media: friends going to brunch, concerts, trips. Meanwhile, I do all those things alone. But the fact of the matter is, it’s one thing to have people to hang out with, it’s another to have friends. And I would venture to say a lot of people don’t have friends, they have people they hang out with. And when the funk hits the fan, like in the case of the pandemic like this lady is talking about, you find out who your true friends really are. So in the meantime, you better learn to be a good friend to yourself.
Case in point: this right here is exactly why I don’t have friends. I don’t know anyone, besides my mother, who would do this for me. If you are not at the ready to begin your polemic in defense of me with, “let me tell you something…” we can’t be friends. You’re either ride-or-die or nothing at all. I just loved seeing how Flau’jae supported Angel Reese in her time of need.
I just love seeing a smart kid, especially one from the back woods of Louisiana, because when you’re born and raised in LA, Monroe, Loo-si-ana definitely seems like the back woods. There’s so many stereotypes regarding people from places like that, so it’s just nice to see something different even as I know smart people are everywhere. Actually, I really believe everyone has some level of genius. I mean if you really pay attention. I don’t think I’ve ever met a dumb person. But anyway, love to see black boy joy.
Okay, now who needs a drink.
Welp that’s it for this week.
Until next time…
