Spin class...and Q-TIPS

This is kind of fun and wild. I'm waiting for a job back East. In the meantime, I don't have a job out West (which is where I am at the moment). Actually, that's not entirely true; as of two days ago I do have job (out West). I was at the gym and just finished my workout and I thought to myself, "Self, it would be a good idea to work at a gym. That way you could workout all the time and get in great shape...AND get paid!"

So I ask to talk to the manager and told her my situation and wanted to know if she'd hire me. She replied, "Do you want to teach spin class every Wednesday and Saturday?"

I've never taught a spin class before. In fact I've maybe taken three total spin classes in my life. "Sure!" Next thing you know, I'm hired! The way I see it, my "students" don't know that I've never taught spinning before. With the right enthusiasm and loud music who's to say I haven't!

What's the moral of this little experience? The "professionals" you turn to may not have a flippin' clue what they're doing. But if the music's right and they're confident, why not?

Oh, and you can use Q-TIPS to clean dust off of camera lenses. Genius!

The Secret Life of Q-TIPS...

Okay, so it looks like Taiwan has been pushed back to the back-burner. It's kind of sad. I really wanted to go and was looking forward to it immensely! But Life, as they say, has a way of changing your plans. Maybe they don't say that and that's something I just came up with. If I did just stumble upon a great never-before-said word of wisdom, you can't use it! I need to copyright it and then write it all over bumper-stickers! Okay, you can use it if you want to. Just be sure to quote me.

No doubt, you've noticed my new blog. Here you can turn to for all the wonderful sundries of life has to offer in the world of off-the-cuff thoughts and interpretations . For starters did you know that Q-TIPS aren't used for cleaning out your ears. They actually say that on the box. It's potentially hazardous to put those little cotton swabs in your ears (I also use them to clean out my nose when I get out of the shower). Hey, don't judge me. It works better than picking your nose with some hairy digit from you hand!

I've always used Q-TIPS to clean out my ears. I can't begin to think of any other use for them. What do you, dear reader, use Q-TIPS for???
