I’ve told you this before and I know you’ve seen it first hand in my videos, but I am going to reiterate it once again…
My mind wanders off ALL… THE… TIME… It loves to just stroll away like an angry toddler from his/her parents.
Thankfully no amber alerts ever need to be called for my brain, cause I have purchased a leash for it.
A few examples of my brain acting like a bit of a vagabond, though…
When I hear or see the words/names:
- FREDDIE, I immediately think about that burnt like toast serial killer with the razor glove that haunts all rebel children’s dreams who go against their mother’s wishes and watch that damn Nightmare on Elm Street
movie anyways…
- PRINCE… Well, common, we ALL know my mind (and yours?) sees PURPLE
. And then rain.
- JUNIOR
… OBVIOUSLY, I envision a JACKED AF Austrian man
who is with child.
And if I put those words/names together… Then my mind wanders off to a land where a tall, dark, handsome (and actually, mature) studly high schooler named Zack Siler, pulls up next to me in his yellow Land Rover and curls his lip into a sexy half grin… Asking me if I want to go on a safari with him in Tanzania.
OH SHRIMP SON… Drop EVERYTHING! It’s time to book a tick…. I mean… Watch THAT movie
Cause I’m not… I am (along with The Food Pervert – T. NIPS!) actually bringing some of Freddie Prinze Jr’s SHRIMP SCAMPI from his cookbook BACK IN THE KITCHEN
Actually, when it comes to fish… I totally am, but I’m krilly trying to practice my adulting and share.
QUIT IT WITH THE PUNS YOU FRIGGIN’ GADFLY (Someone had to say it!).
