I started writing this blog for a couple of reasons. One, because I enjoy to write which I never really knew until someone told me I was so positive and should be a Motivational Speaker. Tonight's keynote speaker is, "Your Boy JC". Real quick totally off the subject (I guess that should be a new paragraph, right?...ahh who cares I'm not an editor. Sorry Mr. Stone, you really were a great English Teacher!!) I have a patent pending on an idea and my attorney sent me a non-disclosure agreement and it reads, " Jeff Caul hereinafter known as "JC"!!!! I cracked up when I read that shit! Not too many people call me JC you know? Anyway, I don't know if I would go that far to say I could be a motivational speaker, but it did make me start writing some positive thoughts and theories of my own. Come to find out, I LOVE to write. It allows me to collect my thoughts and gives me a chance to think of things on a wayyyy deeper level. Secondly, because I was talking to my Manager one night at work. We were having somewhat of a deep conversation about our parents. I had asked him how his Mom was doing because she has been sick and the prognosis isn't so good. He told me to spend alot of time with my parents because they aren't here long enough. At the time I was going through some emotional things and told him, "Tom, I just thought to myself last night...I wish I was more like my Mom, nothing gets to her!" He told me that it has something to do with age and realizing that all the bullshit really doesn't matter. I guess I really took that to heart. As a matter of fact, the whole conversation made my eyes start to well up a little. It's nice when someone genuinely cares about your well being or what you're going through. I guess that's what a friend does and I would consider him not only my Boss, but my Friend. I'm a pretty sensitive dude, but I gotta say...I wouldn't change that if I could. So I called my Mom on the way home that night and asked her if she wanted to write this blog with me. I told her I just wanted it to be real light hearted, make you smile, and make you laugh type of stuff. Although, sometimes I do seem to get a lil deep...Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy (What if Penny never took us to Louie's Pizza? Then we wouldn't know how good Louie's Pizza was!!!!) That's for my old friend Dre, don't pee Dre!!! Dre, remember when you stepped on the catheter hose when I was in the hospital??? Now that shit hurt, funny, but painful...LMAOOOO!!! At any rate, my Mom said, "Sure Jeff!" I knew she would. So I had to come up with a name. Now, my Mom's maiden name is Cobb, hence the name, "somecornfromthecobb".
For Mother's Day my Mom was in California to see my Aunt Sharon, so I told her when she came back, I would take her to lunch. My Mom has a way of seeing the good in EVERY situation. If it's raining she says, "Welp, think of how beautiful the flowers are gonna be this year!" Welp, there should be plenty of DAMN flowers this year MOM...LOL!!! My Dad can say the Ducks are shitting all over the dock and my Mom will say, "Well, just think of how graceful they are when they land in the canal!" As a matter of fact when I got back from lunch one of the guys I work with said, "I think your Mom is the happiest person on the planet!" She would definitely be in the running, I can tell you that! So, I figured that maybe if we wrote this together, so more of her GOOTNESS would rub off on me and you! As far as my writing...you're stuck with me...I STARTED THE DAMN BLOG!!!
So we head out to Coney. She's givin me the run down and all the happenings from Cali. We start talking about relationships and just being kind. Isn't kind a reallll nice word by the way??? There aren't too many just straight up "kind" people!!!! I think most people are good people, no question, but KIND??? NAAAA, not so much! So if you don't have a "kind" person in your life...you better find you one, or start being one yourself, so maybe one might wanna be around your rotten ass, LOL!
You know, it really only takes a second to make someone smile or brighten up some one's day. Buy em some Koolaid...who don't love red Koolaid??? Right?? I don't know, but just try to be "KIND"!!! I'm gonna leave you with the last thing my Mom said. I told her thanks for all the words of wisdom at lunch and she said, "Oh no problem Jeff, just remember...Sleep naked and smile alot!!!!" Who am I to argue with my Mom??? I'm out, Your Boy, JC!
Love this ! It takes alot for people to figure out what kind is! I know and figured it out sometime ago, but some people i know...there may be no help!!
ReplyDeleteOh and by the way I think of you as JC!!
