Announcing the 4,996th View of my Blog!!

I know I just posted yesterday, and it's wierd for me to post two days in a row... and I know I should be working right now and stuff...
But I'm at the 4,996th view of my blog!... since I got that view counter deal! I need to celebrate with some ice cream!
But wait... isn't 5,000 the quintessential milestone that everyone celebrates? Why not wait for 4 more views?
I tried... I even tried refreshing the page but it wouldn't count it... so I said what-the-hey, I'm hungry for dairy over-dose. Let's go celebrate something.
Even at this very moment, you, Mr(s). Reader can find something to celebrate! So go get some Baskin Robbins or indulge in hedonistic activity! You deserve it.

Pretend We're Having a Dinner Table Conversation...

You know what was a good movie? "We Bought a Zoo." Sometime in that movie, Matt Damon said something like, "20 seconds of insane courage is all it takes..." or "20 seconds of stupid courage..." You get the idea. Or maybe I got the idea. Or at least an idea...

You know what was another good movie? "The Avengers." I'm not much of a Marvel guy myself, but man, that movie was soooo good, I just might name my firstborn--"The Avengers." Apologies to anyone that I've already told that joke to.

You know what's a terrible feeling? A burnt tongue.

You know what else is a terrible feeling? When simple things become reeeaaalll complicated. Like missing your exit on the highway, or getting directions from old people. Or like those times when you drive or walk for 20 minutes only to not have the number two pencil you need to take the scantron test final. Or like those times when one day of not shaving means no intramural game. Or like when you're walking to your car and you drop your keys and they go down a drainage grate. Or walking in to a bank with only a check to deposit and walking out with a savings account you never wanted. Or like when presidents who are awfully similar in their policies divide a nation into two polarized forces. Or like when you call a girl to ask her out and you get her answering machine. Or like when you get a ticket for going 29 in a 20. Or like those times when you're baking bread and you waited the mandatory two hours for it to bake only to realize the oven was never turned on. Or like those times when you fail a paper for using the wrong font or margin. Or like how a microscopic scratch on a CD ruins it for life. Or like those times when you get a surprise attack in public... and I'm not talking about from ninjas. Or like when you run out of milk on Sunday. Or like casually riding a bike downhill and then, all of a sudden, your face is ruined. Or like when Super Smash Brothers Brawl becomes real life brawl. Or like when you drive a mile down the road and realize your GPS is gone, so you have to run the mile back to where you were parked cause it's a one-way street in a crowded city. Or like losing your GPS 2 hours into an 18 hour trip because it won't get along with the car charger. Or like errors in a slow-pitch softball league. Or like being a happy, complacent bachelor and then going to general conference.

But you know what? For all those frustrating things in life that you were thinking, "Oh man, I've been there..." 20 seconds of insanely stupid courage can make up for it. Just remember that and stuff.

Continue eating dinner kids.
