I am once again sitting in a gymnasium, listening to sneakers squeaking on the floor and kids yelling at each other while someone’s music is playing from a speaker that appeared out of nowhere. While all these noises do at times make my brain feel like it is going to burst into flames, I don’t really mind it tonight. It’s kind of nice watching different friend groups come in and connect and do something they all enjoy together. Plus, it gives me time to sit down and write, which I know my loyal subscribers have been missing lately. Before I continue, I’d like to let everyone know that I am working on an idea for a future Blawg, and need your participation to make it happen. All I need is approximately 5 minutes of your time to answer one question. If you are interested, please reach out!
The past few days have been a bit of a blur, but a fun blur! I went to a 3-year-old’s birthday party and thought that my friends and I were going to have a pack of dogs sent after us, but there was a quick-thinker amongst us that knew just how to fix things: playing Victor Vito Funny Food Song for Kids at full volume. Did it help the situation? Not exactly. Did it make me laugh and get stuck in my head for the next two days? You bet. After the party, I stopped by this very gymnasium to help set-up for a comedy show, and I had the opportunity of a lifetime right in front of me, and I didn’t take it 😞 I was on a stage with a microphone, with the spotlight shining right on me, and I didn’t use it to sing my rendition of One Little Slip from Chicken Little. I passed on the chance to have all of the attention in the world (from the 3 people that were in there) and I know that I will always regret it. Take advantage of the opportunities that come your way, you never know if you’ll have them again.
A song I’ve been listening to a lot the past couple days is called The Great Lakes Song by Lee Murdock. It’s a song that was always sung on the last night of summer camp, and while that was always a very sad night, the song now brings me an unexpected amount of joy. Something else I’ve been listening to on repeat in its entirety is Harry Styles’ new album. It is truly incredible and each song gets better every time I listen. If anyone is interested in listening, my Top 5 from the album are: The Waiting Game, Coming Up Roses, Season 2 Weight Loss, Paint By Numbers, and Taste Back.
Here’s a quick summary of everything else that happened this week: I pet a donkey, I wore a basketball hoop on my head, I took a picture with some camels, I met with a trainer at my gym to learn how to do a handstand, I almost hit a panther, I curled my hair with socks, I watched a pig in sunglasses sing a song, I chopped my plant up in hopes of making new plants, and I watched Season 50 Episode 2 of Survivor and it was actually so hilarious.
I hope everyone’s week is full of love, hope and laughter. As always, I encourage you to seek out joy and remember that in order for new things to arrive, you have to let old things go.
Goodnight, Dawgs ❤️
