SOMEDAY MEANS NEVER [part deux]

Men watch porn for obvious reasons.

Women watch porn all the way to the end… just to see if they get married!

Karaoke; many people say they love it. I did it once at a Christmas party after one too many cocktails. There were three of us singing ‘Hotel California’. We took an oath to never speak of it again.

This may be something you want and/or need to experience… the lights, music; the crowd. It was great until the booze wore off.  My best advice, if you are a bit shy and still want to do it, just go to another city. It would be worth the drive to abandon your real persona and let go!

And as I always say, ‘You’ll never have to see those people again’.

A friend of mine that worked in Human Resources for a large IT company, came in glowing one morning and told me she just did her first ‘open mike gig’ at a local comedy club. I was dumb founded. She was a really nice woman, but not the least bit funny!

All I could say was ‘Wow!’ She laughed and went on to tell me she’d been taking comedy lessons for about six months. I didn’t even know they existed. I just thought either you’re born funny or not. Who’d have guessed!

I asked her what kind of material she talked about; made jokes about. She said the usual, her husband, the people at work… I could feel my eyes narrowing.

Then she said, “Oh, not you; you’re not funny.” I just nodded and said, “Good to know.”

Why that bothered me, I still don’t know, but when she came by later that day to say she meant ‘not funny’ as in ‘not odd or weird’, I felt better.

“I knew what you meant,” I smiled with a hardy [and relieved] laugh.

My point is that she stepped out of her comfort zone and I applaud her for that. I never went to see her show, just in case it would put ME out of my comfort zone.

Yeah, I know…

So what else… Oh! How about hang gliding, zip line or para-sailing? Ever think about doing any of those things? I have; thought about it, that is. I went para-sailing once and it would wonderful, but not zip line or hang gliding.

I have a mature friend who went on a zip-line in a South American jungle. Sure she dislocated her shoulder and had to fly home, but she has a story to tell and retell for the rest of her life, and those a hard to come by.

Give it a try! Wouldn’t you hate to be old and incapacitated and not be able to do your ‘someday’ thing? Don’t wait - life to much too short.

Clank ‘em like you’ve got ‘em!
