" ONE NEVER KNOWS, NOT ONE"

Mondays are often seen as the worst day of the week, but I believe they can be quite positive. For one, Mondays offer a fresh start. The weekend is over, and it's time to start anew. This can be a great opportunity to reflect on the past week and set goals for the week ahead. Additionally, Mondays can be a time to catch up with friends and colleagues after the weekend. This can be a great way to reconnect and build relationships. Finally, Mondays can be a time to get a head start on the week's work. This can help you feel more productive and organized throughout the week.

Of course, Mondays can also be challenging. The start of the week can be hectic, and it can be difficult to get back into the swing of things. However, by focusing on the positive aspects of Mondays, you can make them a more enjoyable and productive day.

Sincerely,

I'm writing to you today to talk about the importance of evaluating your self-worth and putting yourself as number one. It's something that I've been thinking about a lot lately, and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.

I think it's important to start by understanding what self-worth is. Self-worth is your opinion of yourself. It's how you see yourself, and it's based on your beliefs, values, and experiences. Your self-worth can be affected by many things, including your relationships, your job, and your accomplishments.

It's important to have a healthy self-worth because it can affect your overall well-being. People with high self-worth are more likely to be happy, successful, and have healthy relationships. They're also more likely to be able to cope with stress and adversity.

On the other hand, people with low self-worth are more likely to experience depression, anxiety, and other mental health problems. They're also more likely to be in abusive relationships and to make poor choices.

So, how can you evaluate your self-worth? There are a few things you can do. First, take some time to reflect on your beliefs, values, and experiences. What are you proud of? What are you grateful for? What are your strengths and weaknesses?

Once you have a better understanding of yourself, you can start to develop a more positive self-image. This doesn't mean that you have to be perfect. It just means that you need to accept yourself for who you are, flaws and all.

Putting yourself as number one is also important. This doesn't mean that you should be selfish or inconsiderate of others. It just means that you need to take care of yourself first. This includes taking care of your physical and mental health, setting boundaries, and saying no when you need to.

When you put yourself as number one, you're not only taking care of yourself, but you're also setting an example for others. You're showing them that it's okay to put yourself first sometimes.

Message!

My

I'd like to share my thoughts on what it means to be alone and happy. While it's true that human beings are social creatures and crave connection with others, there's also a profound beauty and freedom in being content with one's own company.

Being alone doesn't mean being lonely. It's about embracing solitude as an opportunity for self-discovery, personal growth, and inner peace. It's about learning to enjoy your own company and finding joy in the simple things in life.

True happiness doesn't come from external sources or the validation of others. It comes from within, from a deep sense of self-acceptance and self-love. When you're at peace with yourself, you can find joy and contentment in even the smallest of moments.

Of course, being alone doesn't mean isolating yourself from the world. It's about finding a balance between solitude and social interaction. It's about creating meaningful connections with others while still cherishing your time alone.

Remember, being alone is not a state of deprivation but a state of empowerment. It's an opportunity to explore your true self, to grow as an individual, and to find lasting happiness within.

Have a great weekend.

I wanted to take a moment to remind you of the importance of being wary of spiders and the potential risks of getting bitten by them.
I was just bitten by a spider last night and ended up in the hospital.
While not all spiders are dangerous, it's important to be cautious and take steps to avoid encounters with potentially harmful species.

Here are a few tips to help you stay safe:

* Be aware of the types of spiders that are common in your area and learn to identify the ones that are known to be venomous.
* Avoid disturbing spider webs or nests, as this can startle the spider and cause it to bite.
* Wear protective clothing, such as long sleeves and pants, when working in areas where spiders may be present.
* Keep your home clean and free of clutter, as this can reduce the number of spiders that are attracted to your property.
* If you do get bitten by a spider, seek medical attention immediately, especially if you experience any symptoms such as swelling, pain, or difficulty breathing.

By following these tips, you can help reduce your risk of getting bitten by a spider and protect your health.

Hello,

It's essential to prioritize happiness in life and avoid taking ourselves too seriously. Happiness brings numerous benefits to our well-being, including improved physical and mental health, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of purpose. When we take ourselves too seriously, we may become overly stressed, anxious, and unable to enjoy the present moment.

It's important to find a balance between taking life seriously and having a lighthearted approach. By focusing on gratitude, practicing self-compassion, and engaging in activities that bring us joy, we can cultivate a happier and more fulfilling life.

Remember, life is too short to be spent worrying and taking everything too seriously. Let's strive to embrace happiness and live each day to the fullest.

Best regards,

JW  ;)

I'm just kidding. I had to get your attention. Here's the truth about Valentine's Day.

Do you know how the whole concept of Saint Valentine's Day began? It's a fascinating story that dates back to the 3rd century AD.

The origins of Valentine's Day can be traced back to a Roman festival called Lupercalia, which was celebrated in mid-February. During Lupercalia, young men would draw the names of young women from a box and pair up with them for the duration of the festival. This practice was believed to promote fertility and matchmaking.

Over time, Lupercalia evolved into a more romantic holiday, and the focus shifted from matchmaking to celebrating love and affection. In the 5th century AD, Pope Gelasius I declared February 14th to be Saint Valentine's Day, in honor of a Christian martyr named Valentine.

The legend of Saint Valentine is shrouded in mystery, but it is believed that he was a priest who performed secret marriages for couples who were forbidden from marrying. He was eventually caught and executed on February 14th, 270 AD.

In the centuries that followed, Saint Valentine's Day became a popular holiday for lovers to express their affection for each other. It is now celebrated worldwide, with people exchanging cards, flowers, and gifts to show their love and appreciation.

Being Italian like I always say, we invented everything.

See you in the funny papers.

Well, I can only imagine how excited you felt when you saw that. But as my protocol that I have no information to get you $5,000, especially from your tax return. 

Sorry had to get your attention one way or another.

Let's bridge the subject of thirsty Thursday. And the horrible despicable TGIF.

HOW MANY PEOPLE DO YOU THINK YOU OFFEND IF YOU SAY TGIF!!.

Well it's probably a lot. Some people work the weekends. Didn't think of that when you were jumping up and down about TGIF. Thirsty  Thursday, FUGETTABOUTIT! Thirsty everyday is reality.

Let's be real, if you need provocation put justifying TGIF. Then thirsty Thursday should just be pontificated emergency if you're seriously twisted. Thoughts.

If you drink it's great. I mean it's fine. If that's what you like to do. Myself. , I absorb righteous quantities of Gin. But that's my prerogative. I'm a successful single fellow. I get up everyday and go to work. Pay my bills. Have good credit, not trying to piss off as many people as I can in one 24-hour period . Kind of a self-indulgent goal I exist for. But in all honesty, I enjoy pissing off as many people as I can. But furthermore, I really like making people laugh. And no I don't mean by showing them my pictures. I'm not funny looking. My mirrors. Tell me every morning. I'm very adorable. And we all know mirrors don't lie.

But just going to send you off with this pre-tgif Day approaching, that really means nothing to me. Everyday is a gift I get up in the morning. I put my feet on the floor I start laughing cuz I know I've already won. The rest of Day is all downhill.

Tomorrow ,wake up tomorrow morning, it being Friday. Don't start your day off with TGIF. Thank God it's Friday. You should start it off with. Thank God I got up. Then. I'm alive and whatever happens today. I'll fix tomorrow. So thank God it's Fridays really is a fraud. Just my opinion! Have a wonderful weekend. I'm closing. I'll just say , " TGIA". Thank God I'm alive. But the night is Young. Things could change. Have a great weekend!.

I use voice to text to my arthritic crippled hands. I don't like to type very much so, it's what I mean. Not what I say. So my lawyer told me. Sweet dreams

I WILL NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR WHAT MY PHONE THINKS AND WHAT I'M THINKING, REGARDING WHAT MY PHONE POSTS AND WHAT I MEANT TO SAY. I THINK YOU GET IT ANYWAY..

Let's delve into this one. The nicknames we pick for ourselves. What the hell were we thinking??

Let's start with the simple,

" Big and tasty"

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you read that? That they're big and tasty. Or they just got a super size me meal at McDonald's.? It's up to you to decide.

How about this one,

" Love Hunter"

Now that's intriguing. In a serial killer kind of way.

How about this,

"Born to submit"

What comes to your mind when you read that one. What comes to my mind is.  THIS person will cave under questioning.

This is a classic one,

 " Not looking"

Now immediately you assume something. Do you know what I assume. That you're confused cuz if you're not looking what the hell are you doing on this page. Shopping for bargains.

Another good one,

"Dazed and confused"

Are we to assume that you fell off a backhoe hit your head and now you don't know how to get home??

Another gem,

"Too Tense"

I'm pretty sure I know what this means. You're a wigwam and a teepee You're two tents.

Look you don't have to laugh. I'm home alone 8:34 on a Friday night. And I'm a damn good looking man I should be out running around like a wild coyote. 

But no I decided to stay home and write things to make your night better. And what thanks do I get??

Enough of the clever nicknames. Whatever happened to singing telegrams?? We should revitalize that. I mean it may still be an existence but I never seen one. Maybe we should take it to the next level though.

If you could teach your private parts to talk. now that's a singing telegram that no one would ever forget.

Here's a point to ponder.

"Lifetime guarantee"

Everything they sell on television is either 1999 or 999. Basically it's an advertising ploy. It was $10.10 it wouldn't buy it. Or if it was $20.25 you wouldn't buy it. But $19.99 you jump all over that. And it's got a lifetime warranty. Send it back whenever you want no questions asked will refund your money Just ship it on back to us. Those companies know all too well you are not getting off that couch boxing up that piece of shit you bought and walking it down to the post office shipping it back and waiting for that check. We all know no one's getting off the couch and doing that the Kardashians are on. Lol. Whoever the hell they are. In all honesty I wouldn't know them if I was standing next to them.

You really think Popeye ate all that spinach??

I probably should have went out think I'm getting stir crazy or that brain damage just kicking back in. All right I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. Well at least I think I'm ahead. You may think differently, but then again does that really matter. Unless you want to go camping? Lol

Have a great weekend Don't forget to bring the tent with you. Cuz remember you're too tense. Lol I kill me. Later

The line I use frequently. Only when I'm really not interested in listening to what someone saying.

It's freaky Friday did you get your freak on??. Well if you didn't now it's time to do it.

Hypothetically, if you went camping. And you woke up in the morning, the pants are around your ankles. And you noticed that there's peanut butter smeared into your rear end. Would you tell anybody??

If the answer is no, do you want to go camping? Lol That's funny. Oh don't get your tent in an uproar It was just a joke.

Freaky Friday! Do you believe it's real? Do you believe in aliens? Do you believe the Catholic priests are friendly??

Look I'm just kind of bored at home on a Friday night, freaky Friday night. And I ain't getting my freak on. Unless you consider me writing this blog getting my freak on. Then that would make me pretty much a freaking loser huh. Lol

But realistically no not at all to some people this might be fun. To me it's fun I like writing. I really like when people listen to my writing. Not like my writing makes noise. You know what I mean. So how's your evening going is it going good? Mine's pretty good, glass of gin and club soda! Warm in my house not cold. Getting all my camping gear together. Lol

But really, do you remember the day when the luster and glamor and glitter of going out a Friday night to seem to fizzle away? I don't cuz I still usually go out. I like going out on Fridays.

Going day drinking now that's a whole new special kind of adventure. You're never too old to go out and have a good time. You don't have to drink You don't have to get high You don't have to make a fool of yourself. But I would suggest you do all three of those things because you'll have a hell of a lot more fun. Have you ever seen a well-mannered perfectly sober non-chemically active person having a good time?? Well if you have then you've been to a funeral and looked into a big shiny box. The guy in there is that person. Lol but I digress. I say that and I really hate saying that. Anyway, if you get bored give me a holler. I'll be home thinking of more boring things to write for you to read later. I leave my number on this blog but I really don't want it written on all the bathroom walls of truck stops across the country. Not that I mind the phone calls it's attention. But sometimes people can be a little freaky. And it's Friday I'm at home so I don't need any more freaky than I can handle

. So jump in the hoopty cruise downtown get your magic marker out.  And write one of your friends phone numbers on the bathroom stall. Life's too short. Just go do it.

Have a good weekend. Don't do anything I would. Unless you plan on getting bailed out of jail later. Jw out!

I'm pretty sure I'm going to butcher this.

By that I mean I'm not quite sure what I'm going to say about that. Lol if you've read any of my blogs it's pretty apparent that I'm going to have plenty to say about it.

At what point in our lives did we assume that not speaking to people anymore was the proper thing to do?? I kind of like talking to people. It has been said sometimes I talk at people. Getting a word in edgewise with me sometimes can be daunting task, like trying to fight a lion with a broomstick. You usually become shish kabob.

That last sentence kind of makes me hungry. Back to the task at hand.

What we do now is text, using the primitive form of language which we have developed over time. And to have slaughtered it by making it printed word. Don't get me wrong English language is screwed up enough as it is. For example I have a pair I ate a pear, does this wine pare well with this food.

Need I say anymore. I know now you're thinking in your head those words that sound the same and have nine different meanings. Imagine how confusing that is to someone who just came to this country and has to learn this ridiculous language. You just see the look on their face of puzzlement and amazement and what the fuckness. But I digress. I hate saying that.

And I'm as guilty of it as anyone else. But I use voice to text. And that can be quite a challenge, I think my phone sometimes thinks it knows what I want to say and changes the words to suit its own meaning. I've had a long discussion with my phone about this I even texted my phone and told it to stop fucking up my words.

But that hasn't changed the damn thing I have to go back and edit everything. Cuz I can't speak like a robot. See there's another abbreviation." Message."

In the good old days you were sitting around the house and the phone rang and you got excited. And someone else grabbed it and you said is it for me?? And most of the time it wasn't, it was Aunt Betty calling your mother about a bundt cake recipe or something ridiculous. In those days you didn't have telemarketers that called you up and tried to sell you magic beans to grow your hair or telling you that the IRS is coming to get you because you owe them money and we can save you by just sending us a check you dumb son of a bitch.

I used to love the sound of the phone ringing it's actually my ringtone. Just like that sound. Technology brought us far far from what we used to be, and what we knew. But it was that Friday afternoon when you grab the phone and call your friends and find out what's going on that night. Because back in the day there was no way to get a hold of anybody except by telephone. You couldn't send smoke signals we didn't have carrier pigeons. And some of you are going carrier pigeons what the hell are they?? Google it.

Once you were out the door the freedom bell rang. No one could find you. They won't even know where to begin to look. You almost became invisible at that point. Now everyone knows when you take a shit. Cuz they can pinpoint you on some GPS spot that says bathroom. And what's the fascination with posting every actual facet of your life on social media. Now I post things about something I'm doing from time to time or something I've cooked. Yes I've fallen into that trap. But some people put every damn thing they do on there. I'm leaving my house to go to work! I'm going to the store to grab green beans for more casserole. Look my dog took its first shit. My baby just spoke.

Frankly Scarlett I don't give a damn. Famous line from a very famous movie. Don't know it? Google it.

Now Google, Google's my best friend. It does everything I ask it to do, it doesn't argue with me not often. And I can pick the voice I hear when it speaks to me. On the dark web they have voices that you can listen to that sound like Catholic priests. Lol. There that goes again. Yes I'm a recovering Catholic. Don't get me started on that because you'll be reading this for the rest of the day and the turkey will burn in the oven. Anyway.

So in closing I'll say, take your phone which we all know is in your hand. Basically because you're reading this on your phone. Go through your contacts and somebody you haven't spoke to in a while why don't you give them a call. Don't text him happy Thanksgiving wish you were here I miss you call him up and tell him. Nothing like hearing someone's voice because you get inflection you get meaning and you can tell if they're happy to hear from you. If they don't answer leave them a long-winded message The longest stupidest thing could possibly leave is a voicemail. At the very end of it say I left this on purpose cuz you didn't answer your phone .

At the end of that voicemail let them know that you expect them to call you back and if they don't you're going to really know that they didn't listen to the voicemail. Then text him and say " did you get those numbers yesterday for the lottery?? I can't believe they came out I won $50,000. I hope you listen to my entire message and got those three lottery numbers.

Now that's fucking with people on a whole new level. Whatever you do in life just have fun! Tomorrow is coming and there's nothing you can do about it. Don't sweat the small things life's very short.lol

Dam abbreviations.
