I’m Trying to Make My Advice as Worthless as I can

~ K ~ 2 Comments

Really, I’m trying to make my advice as worthless as possible but it is hard.  Writing this stuff is hard.  If I go off the deep end like I did the other day about “Marrying your husband was a huge mistake” post, people think I’m depressed about my life.  I understand my sense of humor is a little off.  After watching Oprah and Dr. Phil all these years, I thought I would be much better off in my life.  You would think after reading all those Tony Robbins and Zig Ziglar’s books, I would now be larger than life.  They clearly should have produced a powerful man living the dream instead of a mild manner worthless advice blogger.

However, because I don’t have a 100 foot yacht docked on Lake Union, I can say without reservation that my Worthless Advice Blog is a damn good one.  If my advice was actually helpful, all four of my devoted readers would be living in waterfront mansions on Mercer Island and be showering me with praise.

So here we all sit at the computer, reading about nothing, and learning nothing.  It’s all in a days work here!

 

 

 

Oops…wrong date…

~ K ~ 1 Comment

I live my life by my Google Calendar. Our family is intermixed together on various Google Accounts to make sure we don’t double book ourselves. However, today I messed up and thought it was Wednesday May 4. Today is Tuesday May 3.

Well, I didn’t mess up on the day…I thought I was meeting my cousin John for lunch today but I’m actually meeting him tomorrow.

So, I’m sitting in the correct restaurant at the right time; but on the wrong day. Silly me.

I might have to pull out my Adult Coloring Book and just fill in some pretty pictures of apples and oranges.  Coloring relaxes me and fulfills my meager life with vibrant colors. Sort of fulfill my life through drink and good comfort food. 

 

Which is worse? Adult Coloring Books or Watching Reality TV?

~ K ~ 6 Comments

One has to wonder…which is worse?  The insane trend of Adult Coloring Books OR watching Reality TV? Neither one is a new concept, but both waste a great deal of time.

Coloring Books:

Sure, some people claim it is very relaxing filling in a pattern with color pens. You know, stuff you use to do in 1st grade when your teacher needed some quiet time to nurse her hangover from a very raunchy weekend. Is the coloring the relaxing part? Or is the wine you are consuming as you are coloring that pretty butterfly (made by some 10 year old Indian artist) that makes it relaxing?

Reality TV:

My boring suburban life isn’t exciting enough so watching rich asses get into verbal fights is what really fulfills my day.  To be honest (because I’ve been lying to you all the various times before…I have to stop saying that..anyway….), I enjoy the insane swimming pool contractor show and the fix and flip shows. I can’t stand the “Southern Charm” shows or any of the “Housewives of _______” shows.  Just ridiculous characters thrown together with staged fights so I can think “what the hell am I watching??” 

 Thanks for reading and commenting on this post. I’m off to read a book (not a coloring book).

Social Media: Why your Wife Hates You!

~ K ~ Leave a comment

Social Media…isn’t it so darn fun? Old folks are the only ones that use Facebook (don’t worry; I’m in that “old folks” category) so I’ve been told by the younger and hipper folks.  I guess Twitter and Instragram is where everyone else hangs out.  Nothing like writing short posts and showing off selfies to get the party started, right?

Then you have the bloggers who write a lot of something blogs that no one reads. At least my blog posts are read by my cat Mr. Whiskers and my imaginary stalker Cyndi.

What is one to do with all these competing platforms to express oneself?   Certainly even belly dancing would be a better hobby than adult coloring books.

 

2 mile drone flight…pushing the limits!

This is our longest drone flight to date.  We flew the drone two miles from Andrews Bay (Seward Park) to the I-90 floating bridge and back again.  This was a 4 mile round trip.

We did a short flight around the Space Needle here in Seattle.  Clear blue skies with some Washington State Ferries in the background.

Why “Baby on Board” signs should say “Moron Driving” instead!

~ K ~ 9 Comments

It never fails to annoying me when I see those little yellow “Baby on Board” signs in a car’s window because I know the driver is a moron. They are always the worst drivers. Case in point is the driver you see in this photo.

  

license plate AKA0818
  
When we were on the five lane road, this awesome driver decided to tailgate me, then zoom pass me on the right, get stuck behind the car in the right lane, cut back into the left, and get stuck behind that car. After all that, they were now in front of me instead of behind me.  Hats off to you, moron driver!  You are truly a winner!

Of course, they have “Baby on Board” sign hanging on the back window.  Oh yeah, I should be extra careful when you cause me to crash into the back of your car because you think this is a NASCAR racetrack and you are sponsored by Busch beer.
Thanks again Washington State license plate AKA0818 for being a bad driver and endangering my life.  I appreciate your awesome ability to weave in and out of trafffic as you race to your finish line!  Good luck to you and your kids!

Pet Peeve: What Kind Of Quality do You Want?

~ K ~ 2 Comments

One of my pet peeves is when people say they want a “quality” product. What does that mean? Quality is a noun, not an adjective. (Don’t worry; that’s it for the English lesson). When anyone says “I want a quality product at a good price”, I’m the guy that has to comment and say “What kind of quality do you want? High quality? Low Quality? Medium Quality?  Because quality doesn’t mean anything until you throw an adjective in front of it.”

If you want low quality, then say that. Admit to yourself that you want some crappy dollar menu item and that price is a concern and taste is secondary.  It’s ok. Sometimes I like a heart attack patty hidden between two buns as much as the next guy.

If you want high quality, then be willing to pay the price for it. Say you want it, accept into your heart and pay the price.  You get what you pay for.

Don’t be afraid to throw in that adjective “high” in front of the word “quality.”  I promise you; it is OK to do it.

What’s Up in the Attic? A big case of “None of your Business!”

~ K ~ 5 Comments

IMG_9803.JPG

A rousing tale of two friends who shouldn’t be snooping around in the attic.  You know why?  Because that is where Grandpa keeps the dead bodies and his moonshine still….a ruckus ensues and general mayhem.

Some dead prostitutes, a demon spirit, and the missing box of Girl Scout cookies are just some of the things, these two adventurers find in the attic.

I give it a 2.3 stars out of a possible 5 stars.  Need more graphic violence to make the story flow faster, hopefully, I think your toddler will give it a double thumbs up.
