Don't Neglect The 99-Cent Tacos

Not every meal can be steak and rock lobster.

Don't Neglect The 99-Cent Tacos

I've wrote a bunch about how our culture has rapidly changed, from when even I was a child (and I was born in 95!). I'm really not trying to sound like some grumpy old man at the park playing chess but, our culture, thanks to different beliefs and tons of innovations and advancements in technology, has made leaps and bounds in many directions that we could have never for saw.

And EVERYONE has their personal opinions/beliefs/etc. of how far we strayed, what we are doing wrong, and the like. I'm no different. But today, with all that I just said, I want to ask you a serious question:

Do you like Jack in the Box Tacos?

I'm very happily married, so please don't misunderstand the example that I'm about to use. If I wasn't married, and I decided to use a dating app (such as Tinder or something), in my bio would be a mandatory agreement that the girl I was looking for HAD to love Tacos from Jack in the Box. Thankfully, I've converted my wife to the true religion of greasy, fast food Tacos from an American-style restaurant?

If you don't know what I'm talking about (I'm weeping for you currently), let me try to explain: 2, brown and greased soaked shells, literally dripping with liquid (I have no idea what...), stuffed with brownish-green lettuce, a SLICE of American cheese, Taco sauce, and meat (If... we can call it that?). Literally, it's like processed, slimy, meat. I'm not lying. And neither is Jack in the Box. They are totally okay with it.

But, you see, maybe that's how we need to be in life? Stay with me please, even those of you who are physically repulsed. People have this sense of having to "put on a face" for other people (the funny thing is most of the people that we have to look good for, we don't even like personally!). We have to look all pristine and pretty. Don't ever show that you are imperfect or aren't put all together. How many of you clean up your house before company comes over? Okay, I totally get that. But some people take it way too far and have to make it look like not a single soul lives there. Do you see what I'm saying?

At times, it's okay to be a 99 cent Taco. Sometimes, it's okay to eat a 99 cent Taco. People can take you or leave you; there doesn't have to be any faking. So, go ahead and let your grease shine for all to see.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
