Anything Could Happen

Yes, Ellie Goulding, anything could happen.

If this year was equivalent to an Easter basket I would feel really bad for the rest of you because I got all the eggs.  ALL OF THEM.  I even got rotten ones, which was rude, but nonetheless, I got them.

I'm going to stay on this subjeggt, actually. Get it, Subj-egg-t? Subject, people, subject.  Stay with me.

We all know there's some good eggs and some bad eggs in this spinning globe.  Actually, some of you still believe we're all good, but you haven't met the people I have.  You'd change your mind real quick.  Normally you don't know an egg is bad until you crack into it.  Same goes for humans.  Hypothetically, not physically.  But a physically cracked human would also be considered bad.

Generally speaking, I, along with most of you, get along with just about anyone.  This usually occurs until the moment you see someone for who they are.  That damn moment ruins everything.  Here you are, thinking you are just a happy-go-lucky person with friends left and right and then that moment.  That damn moment. You, me, all of us need that moment.  Sometimes people can bounce back from it.  You know when doctors ask you "What's your pain on a scale from 1-10?"  You can use the same scale to judge the severity of that damn moment.  Anything between 1-5 can usually be worked out, but 6-10 is debatable.  I believe I've had some moments exceed 10.  Can you say "SAYANARA?"

Once I realized it's not mandatory to like everyone, circa 2010, my selection of humans got narrowed down.  We were all blessed with gut feelings.  I just happen to go with mine.  There's not a manual on gut feelings, BTW.  And doctors can't activate them for you.

Back to my Easter basket.  I had some surprising eggs that looked like solid gold turn out to be complete crap.  Slap.in.the.face.  I definitely didn't have my Willy Wonka moment with any gold wrappers.  Obviously Charlie took them all.  Way to go, Charlie.  Way to freaking go.

Reaching to my "Name of the Game" post.  Jon asked "What is loyalty to you?"  I honestly could not articulate a sentence that sounded the way I felt.  I have always considered loyalty to be knowing someone well enough to know their intentions, motives and character.  When you know those things I think in a controversial situation you'll be able to stand your ground, loyally.  I've witnessed people neglect their loyalty and to me it's generally unforgivable.  Like I said, loyalty is not meant for the weak.  You'd be surprised who is weak.

I should provide you with some helpful feedback about my learning curve this year.  All I can say is, never underestimate a persons ability to surprise you.  Myself included.  I'm full of surprises.  Happy to share the good ones, but capable of sharing bad ones...if I absolutely have to (In my head I say this with complete sass and a complimentary stare down).

Have an eggcellent day.  Surprise others the way you'd like to be surprised.
