14 pains worth enduring.
Wednesday, April 22, 2009
9:09 PMWhile reading a magazine, i found this list & it was extremely interesting. Most of them i've done & some of the things you look back and think, was it really worth it? lol this here explains why it is worth enduring. Yet some of them are totally insane & i would never do it. LOL.
1- Going all in & loosing.
Your rush will fade as your, and remind you that gambling is actually more than entertainment you can control the duration of. Why hurry?
2- Splurging on a thousand doller suit (dress).
You'll wince at the hit to your budget. But once you own a suit (dress) worth being buried in, you'll start finding ways to make sure somone will be at the funeral to tuck a flower in your lapel. (dress)
3- Watching the notebook.
Sure, Ryan Gosling spends every day recounting the triublations of his relationship with Rachel Mcadams. But listen, there's a reason woman fawn over this film: on the screen, unconditional love and devotion always prevail. Watch the movie. Fast forward through the slow parts. An then impress her by rememering the plotline.
4- Buying a saladshooter.
Even a strong man can succumb to a late night huckster. The useless plastic doohickey you bought still serves a purpose though. It's hard evidence that many things in life are too good to be true.
5- Fumbling through a bad date.
You show up late. Your jokes bomb. You take a dig at her favorite band. Here's your three step plan to recovery; apologize, self deprecate, & move on. Unless you dwell on your slip, she'll only see you for what you really are -- human.
6- Eating ramen noodles.
Anything that comes in a brick form and costs 50 cents is a building material, not a foodstuff. Slurp up a bowl of sodium-soaked strings and you're garunteed to appreciate a costlier (and healthier) feast.
7- Dating a high maintenance person.
He/she will drain your savings & sap your sanity. Then you'll learn why a person who looks good in sweats and loves chinese takeout is a keeper.
8- Running for president.
Or campaigning for any long shot score --a huge job or a bar beauty's phone number. The strain is humbling, regardless of the outcome. But take a lesson from John McCains failure. If you lose once, don't stake everything on a second try. You'll grow bitter if you insist on traveling only closed roads.
9- Drinking green beer.
Yeah we love St. Patty's too. But once you try holiday booze an dit's novelty wears off, you can move on to more authentic fare. Ask the 'tender to pull you a beamish or pour you two fingers of redbreast. You'll enjoy what you're drinking for once and look way more debonair in photos.
10- Taking all you can eat wing night literally.
Oh the heartburn, cramping, stining, toilet sessions. LOL. There's no better endorsement of moderation than a Kobayashi -size food hangover.
11- Undergoing a colonoscopy. (men)
You have a free pass for decades. Time to man up.
12- Visiting Disney World.
It's magical, we'll grant them that. A castle, flying elephants, the little mermaid in her clamshell brait's a tire for a 6-year old and a parental passage. Go be overwhelmed ... once. Next time you're family will be ready for true magic: Yosemite.
13- Lying to your mother. (men)
If you always told your mom the truth about where you were going, you never would have touched your first breast.
14- Training poorly then competing anyways.
Sure you should have worked up to a taper before that 10-k road race. Probably should have stretched better, too. But there's nothing like being passed in the stretch by that 52-year old 14th place masters class finisher to motivate you the next time out.
