Out with the old and IN with the new

If you all's parents were like mine when growing up then you probably heard the "just try it, you might like it" phrase ALL the time when they were being pushy and wanting you to expand that very narrow selection of food that you'd eat that included: mac-n-cheese, chicken tenders, and pizza..  Although my palate was more like a smorgasbord I finally started to get out of my comfort zone with things, in more areas than just food.  The more that I think about whether it has been a good idea is still under review cause there have CERTAINLY been positives and negatives along the way.

Not to start on a negative note, but CHELADA's (a mexican type bloody mary) friggin' gross.  Sounded like a good idea, but, uhhh.  It's kind of like remembering a certain type of drink that you drank wayyy to much of on a bad college night; that's the gut wrenching feeling.  On a positive side I've started a new way of working out and training for a race that I have next year.  (chopping down trees than chopping them up and using them as weights).  I know it's kinda awkward sounding but I never thought a 4 foot piece of tree could weigh as much as I do; great way to train BTW. These are just a small few, but I'm not going to put a boring list with critiques up..


Although I'm saying that there are negative results to broadening life experiences it just needs to be taken in stride.  Sure there will be bumps along the way that stink (like not waking up to your phone alarm because you tried switching to vibrate and it failed), but it helps to mold you as a person I believe.  It's basically a ripple effect, meaning it can start with trying a new food just because, and slowly work into other aspects of life.  I mean try a new food, and it could mean you finally have the courage to walk up to a cute girl and either tell her or just start talking.  Or it could lead to accomplishing a dream experience you've always wanted but have been to scared to do.  So what I'll leave it at is; if there is something that kind of plants a seed in your mind about wanting to do something, JUST DO IT.  What's the worst that could happen? spend $5 on a mexican style mixed drink that's gross and you don't drink it?  You can do so many 'impossible' things in life, with little ease
