BAD BEHAVIOR
People have reasons why they don’t do things they should or act in ways they shouldn’t. When asked why I acted the way I did my reply is usually that I had too much Sudafed and was loopy. But why should my excuse always cover my behavior?

People justify their actions, whether it harmful to someone else or something. Anything can be justified in ones mind, so it’s easy to do. But if you have a conscious it may cause you to second guess yourself so that you don’t make a decision based on selfish logic.

For instance, I wanted to verbally chastise a slow driver in the fast lane in front of me. How can they not realize that they are going too slow. I gestured heartily to show my disapproval. It probably just looked like I was trying to get a bee out of the car.

Then again, they are safely going the speed limit. So my rules didn’t match theirs. I’m not always right and I shouldn’t expect everyone to go by my rules.

I then use the Mr Rogers rule. What would Mr Rogers do? Remaining as calm as him probably would make life’s seemingly unjust and unfair twists and turns more mentally manageable. Just like he transformed himself into his calming sweater, maybe that is what I should do with my emotions at times.

Do you think if Henrietta Pussycat would have a hissyfit if King Friday poked her in the eye with a stick. Of course, she most likely would. But what if Henrietta Pussycat blew her Salem cigarette smoke into Curious X the Owl’s face. After all, bad behavior shouldn’t be tolerated. And bad behavior shouldn’t beget bad behavior. What would Mr Rogers do? Grab the cigarette and snuff it into her forehead? Or maybe kindly ask why she did it? And then make her understand her actions so that she doesn’t do it again.

Do you take kindly to being told about your bad behavior? Do you get angry when people tell you like it is? If they said it in a nicer way, just like Mr Rogers, would it make a difference. Or are you in the Land of Make Believe? It’s always better to act proper like Lady Elaine Fairchild and avoid the mental anguish that comes with realizing your bad behvior at a later time.

So next time your are ready to go off the hook, have some chamomile tea and shortbread cookies to relax. And think, what would Mr Rogers do?

VALUE CITY FURNITURE COMMERCIALS

Saturday, August 28th, 2010

VALUE CITY FURNITURE
Is it just me or are you also mesmerized by those dancing people on the Value City Furniture commercials. I can’t totally put my finger on it, but I think their dancing is so intriguing because they either are dancing without a drop of alcoho or they are all suffering from some type of chronic muscle spasms that looks like dancing. I suspect the latter.

It’s like those people that stand outside the business they work for with sandwich-board signs on them waving around to get your attention. I want to look, but I don’t. And of course, I end up looking…intently. It’s just like a song that gets stuck in your head.

All I can say is they better end those commercials because I can’t concentrate on what I’m doing when it’s on. The gal gyrating next to a recliner looks like she is developing relations with it. Then a guy pops in and it looks like he is doing the chicken dance or possibly putting out a fire. Even the kids that are dancing seem like their are in a zombie voodoo trance while jerking around as if their body was possessed by some illicit being or they are preparing themselves to have a sensational bowel movement.

Remember when they had Abe Lincoln and George Washington dancing in their one commercial during their President’s Day sale? I will never look at them the same now. I don’t want to see my Presidents doing the electric boogaloo. Or dancing around furniture for that matter.

I’d like to see the auditions to be a dancer in their commercials. Ok, send out auditioner #1. Nope, he has too much rhythm. #2. She’s ok, but is better off auditioning for a music video. Hey now. Dancer #3 looks like he either is vigorously looking for a quarter he dropped or we have ourselves our newest dancer. And what do we have here with dancer #4. I’m either going to see someone give birth or we got a fresh new dancer.

Here is a link to some of their commercials:
