hugs are overrated, just fyi

the other day i was in one of the rooms in the dream home and a little girl puts this on



and i realized 'obx!  i love the jobro!'  i had heard this song one time before but it was during a conversation discussing the lyrics "next time i see you i'm giving you a high five 'cause hugs are overrated, just fyi."  and i was too caught up in the hilarity of that to really listen to the song.  i also really like their song "hello beautiful" but only b/c it's about a guy who wants to visit a girl in california.  and i'm a girl in california!  tah dah!  ok, so enough pretending like i'm 12.

i had a mini epiphany about commitment yesterday... really i knew this before but i forget it all the time.   ok, so here is some insight into how my brain works and how i decide things.  so i was working next to where we have some honda crvs on display.  people can get in the crvs and pretend to drive them.  anyway, i was thinking 'it would be super funny if i got on the floor of the backseat of the car and then when someone sat down in the drivers seat i could jump up and yell BOO!'  i realized that would really only work if i was totally committed to doing it.  scaring someone in a crv at disneyland isn't something you can half do.  and then i decided i wasn't that into it.  also, i probably would have gotten in trouble.

and then i thought, you know what, there really aren't very many things you can do successfully if you aren't totally committed to it.  my example for this always is, you can't half do the running man.



that is the running man in case you live under a rock and you didn't know what i was talking about.

the running man is something you just can't make your body do unless you're willing to go all out with it.  you're either doing the running man or you're just looking like a dummy... or something.  and i know this applies to improv and being good at a job and relationships and basically everything that makes a person happy and makes a person grow.  basically to everything in life.

and then i thought yes.  i am into that.  i want to commit to things and people and life.  so, yes.  not that i have anything in particular i was deciding whether or not to be committed to but i suppose that i'm making commitment a priority.  i'm committing to commitment.  no big deal.

in the next couple weeks i need to start researching art programs.  i need pep talks, friends.  pep talk me, please.
