Cooking is Sexy

In this day and age there are people who will tell you that knowing how to cook is not important, I am here to tell you that those people are wrong.  Horribly and frighteningly wrong.

Going out is easy and so are pre-packaged meals, but they are really bad for you.  One has to learn the value of taking the time and effort to prepare food.  In the beginning you may not like it, but you are worth pushing past that.

In addition to eating higher quality food knowing how to cook gives you a marketable skill.  Not just for the job market, but in acquiring partners as well.  Do not assume I am spouting some outdated sexist crap here, a guy or girl who can cook is sexy.  Not only does your mate not have to do this chore ALL the time, but having a useful skill gives you confidence.

Not to mention that cooking together is a fantastic bonding experience.  Date Night In Anyone?

A Day Without Laughter...

A day without laughter is a day wasted.


Charlie Chaplin


Charlie may have been quite the perv, but he had a point.  Laughing is important.  It releases endorphins, it is relaxing and it can change your whole outlook on life.  At least for a little while.  I suspect that part of people's resistance to really growing up is that they just assume it is supposed to be no fun.


Of course there are times when being a "Real Grown Up" is not roses and candy.  However that does not mean that we should cast aside everything we find interesting or amusing.  Laughter and joy are important parts of the human existence.  If we do not continue to experience these things then not only will be be bitter and old before our time, but how will the children learn to take joy in things?


So today, cut yourself some slack.  Watch some Three (4) Stooges, quote some Monty Python and don't be afraid to have a chuckle.  Just be aware that "Hey, watch this..." is not for the feint of heart, and it can lead to hospital bills...
