The Comfy Corner

Have you ever found yourself with a large, American-sized portion of really delicious food and you get halfway through it and realize that you are so full and should probably stop eating it but you don't want to stop eating it because it's so good? So you find yourself asking the question - do I finish it now or should I save the rest for later? This, my comfy friends, is what I like to call, "The Chipotle Dilemma." I call it this because this always happens to me when I am eating a huge burrito from Chipotle. I get halfway through it and realize that I've literally eaten a pound of food, and so I consider, even if for only a moment, wrapping it up and saving it for later. But I always finish it and ya know why? Because maybe there won't be a "later." Maybe I'll be walking out the door with my half eaten burrito and a brick will fall on my head or something and the burrito will splatter all over the sidewalk for some stupid squirrel to eat. If I finish the burrito then at least I can die saying I lived my life to the fullest (literally).

And that is how I'm looking at life right now. Full steam ahead, man. Why wait? Why let yourself get blown around like a dry leaf waiting for the right role or the right lover or the right time to do this or say that? As my great math teacher in high school always said, "It's Nike time... Just do it." So that is what I'm gonna do this semester. No more hemmin' and hawin'. I'm gonna finish the burrito. No stupid squirrel is gonna eat my leftovers! I'm throwin' down the pencil and grabbin' a pen. If things don't happen for me, I'm gonna make something happen for me. No more waiting for Guffman. No more Mr. Nice Chang. If my corner ain't comfy, why then, I'm gonna buy some new pillows. It's our time folks. It's your time. No more Chipotle dilemmas. Carpe diem!
