OMG, TLA OD!


===[Note: a plain(er) English version follows this abbreviation-laden message]===


Friends,

YOLO but, TBH, FOMO does not justify this. IMHO, TLAs are overused. IOW, just B/C you can, don’t mean you should. Granted, perhaps a PEBKAC. FWIW, OGs are guilty 2. WRT this trend, the GOP and DEMs contribute alike. From them we learned terms like NIMBY and it's ugly cousin BANANA. It’s in the news (LMK if you agree MLK would support BLM). It’s in sports (AFAIK, MLB will BRB in July). OBTW, I find the progression from LOL to LMFAO to ROTFL humorous. Anyway, this 4th, you should try OMG donuts (they’re GR8!). Just try not to catch the ugliest abbreviation of them all (COVID-19) while you're at it.

Apologies if this message was TL;DR. Anyway, g2g, so TTYL.

TGIF!

 

P.S. LMK your thoughts on the DL via DM ASAP.

 

===[as promised, the translation, in case you missed any of the abbreviations, acronyms or jargon]===

You only live once but, to be honest, fear of missing out does not justify this. In my humble opinion, three letter acronyms are overused. In other words, just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Granted, perhaps a problem exists between keyboard and chair. For what it’s worth, old guys (original gangsters?) are guilty too. With regards to this trend, republicans and democrats contribute alike.  From them we learned terms like not in my backyard and it's ugly cousin, build absolutely nothing near anyone. It’s in the news (let me know if  you agree Martin Luther King would support black lives matter). It's in sports (as far as I know, major league baseball will be right back in July).  By the way, I find the progression from laughing out loud to laughing my freaking arse off to rolling on the floor laughing humorous. Anyway, this 4th of July weekend, you should try OMG donuts (they’re great!). Just try not to catch the ugliest abbreviation of them all (the Corona Virus Disease from 2019) while you're at it.

Apologies if this message was too long and you didn’t read. Anyway, gotta go, so talk to you later.

Thank God it’s Friday!

 

Postscript: Let me know your thoughts on the down-low via direct message as soon as possible.

Donut Doodle Dandy

Dear Members and Constituents, In trying to figure-out Wednesday’s cool-looking Google Doodle ( Jorge Luis Borges’ 112 th birthday ), I stumbled across a list of Google Doodles you’ll never see. This, and a Rockies game later that day, were sufficient inspiration to get my head spinning around what other doodles Google might never noodle? I’m sure you’ll probably have a few ideas of your own, but I was able to come-up with a couple. How about a former Colorado Rockies player whose unfortunate encounter with a moth put him in the news this week? The Matt Holliday doodle might look something like this… Another item which, surprisingly enough, has not been made into a doodle are donuts. Although I was slightly taken aback to find this delicious pastry has not been featured, after the initial disappointment, I decided to take matters into my own hands and take a stab at one (perhaps Google can use it next year for national donut day )… or to celebrate Greek police having “ blown a ho...

A Dozen Rules to Live By

Friends, When it comes to the big questions, there are far too many platitudes, truisms, cliches and BS. Bookshelves are lined with so much advice, you’d think we would have answered them all by now. So, why do people keep doing it? I couldn’t tell you. Whatever the reason, here’s one more exploration to add to the interminable list. I’ve left God out of this post, so these “rules” should come in handy whether you believe life has meaning, or you think purpose is just our prefrontal cortex’s way of sabotaging our limbic system. And, since donuts come in dozens, it felt fitting that my list just happens to have twelve rules.   Do it! (what are you waiting for?). Life sometimes feels like a dress rehearsal. So much time spent preparing for the future, there’s little time left to actually live life. Habit, routine and inertia have a way of filling the day. Try something new, who knows, you might enjoy it. Don’t overthink it. But, what to do? Give-in to a...

Enchanted Donuts

Friends, Mix equal doses of isolation, adaptation, and time. Add a pinch of random stowaway life forms. Remove predators. The result? An eclectic collection of surprising plants and animals known as the Galápagos Islands. Here, iguanas swim and dive for food, the largest members of the sunflower family grow into 45 foot tall trees, and boulder-sized tortoises blow past the century mark with ease. Frigatebird throats of red, boobie feet of blue, moth-pollinated flowers of white. And, having been granted constitutional rights , sea lions own most park benches in town. Surrounded by an ocean teeming with fish of all shapes and sizes, the only downside of spending time in this remote Ecuadorian province appears to be the complete absence of donut shops. I suppose I too can adapt.  Happy Friday!
