Top Five things I learned this summer

This has been a summer of great change for me and through these changes I learned a few things.... and here I thought I knew everything already!

1.  Smoking is bad for you:

 I know, I know.... who doesn't know this?  Well.  Me, that's who!  Over the last forty years or so I have come up with the theory that if it was REALLY bad for you then it would be banned.  That it is such a heavily taxed and profitable business that the powers that be didn't want it to go anywhere and that in fact they use a smear campaign on purpose to draw people in.  Reverse psychology Jedi Mind Trick style!  I'm not UN-convinced of my theory in the slightest but after several weeks smoke free-ness.  I feel a ton better.  I didn't even realize that i felt bad!  

2. My cat is right about most things:

Shamus (my cat) has the best decision making skills on the planet.  Tired?  Sleep.  Hungry?  Eat.  Mad?  Chomp.

It seems so simple but people (at least I do... maybe you have no issues with this and I applaud your feline abilities)  have the need to complicate things.  Keep it simple.  If it needs done, do it.

3.  People stink:

I can only assume it has something to do with the no smoking and my senses have sharpened up a bit or something but HOLY SHIT!  I seriously had no idea how bad a dumpster smells or a bar for that matter!

4.  I have always hated running... and I still do:

I am getting better at it but I have yet to experience these thing runners speak of like runners highs and such.  I kinda think it's a bunch of malarky  just to convince people to run further (Jedi Mind Tricks again!) and buy more shoes... still I'm glad I'm getting into it more but I still hate it!

5. Eight hours of sleep is maybe the greatest thing in the whole world!:

If you are not getting eight or close to that try it.  it will change your life!  It's not hard.  Just go to bed.  Turn off the tv and the computer and go to bed.  Facebook will wait until tomorrow... or even the next day.
