warning; still might be a little under the influence, but this is all I have to say, all I can anticipate having to say, and lubricated is the only way I can say it, so deal, or don’t, We had boys night and shocker, it was what it says on the tin, we drank and ate greasy food and talked about music and bad ideas.
So I spent at least two hours on the road today for this stupid job fair. Two of the companies I wanted to talk to didn’t show up, like how tacky is that? I showed up, drove 65 miles and two counties over for this blasted thing. They also barely had parking for us, I’m going to be done complaining about it, really soon.
Anyway, the trip was the more interesting bit of the whole event, because on the way I saw a lot of one particular political ad. It was for some guy running for state senate, on the fact that he was a cowboy. Seriously, the guy owns a cowboy hat and knows the location of a good print shop, those are his qualifications……
and as I’m wasting hours of my life driving to a stupid career fair I’m thinking; “I own a cowboy hat, and I know where to find a good print shop.”
What if it really is that simple? Like I’ve been trying to live this meaningful life where I help people and serve a purpose but I could be pulling six figures for owning a hat. I own the shit out of that hat, I come from a long line of hat owners let me tell you when it comes to owning hats, I am on it.
It came up tonight while I was drinking, that maybe I am overthinking this whole thing. This guy, he’s probably unremarkable, probably doesn’t have much else going for him, but he’s got a hat, and he figures he can ride that to state senate….. apparently it’s working.
I’m also aware this might be drunk brain, but it’s kind of making too much sense. Like how stupid the whole world is right now, maybe looking good in a hat is more important than comptence these days.
Well, not drunk brain, tipsy brain. I walked a straight line fine, I just think a hat has a reasonable chance of solving all my problems, seems reasonable.

You need a pair of swanky cowboy boots to go with the hat!!
