My office sent me to Milwaukee to look at a print ad and check its color. Yes, Milwaukee. Yes, to look at a color. It seemed like it would be an easy task, but of course the color was wrong and I needed to stay up all night to fix it. While driving through the Milwaukee back roads at 4am to go check the color again, I clenched the steering wheel, pissed that this was my life. I felt tears approaching my lids and anxiety holding my jaw taut.
The color never got to be perfect, and I left Milwaukee feeling like a failure. Well, half of me felt like a failure and half of me felt like I was stuck in a joke. Or a Mike Meyers satire where everyone in the film is creating a huge deal out of something so insignificant. Miserable and scared of how my bosses would view the color fiasco, I got to the airport only to find a problem with my flight.
Right when I felt like my body would implode from anxiety, I walked passed an Indian man. He was round and bald and cloaked in a brown bomber jacket. I could see he was bald and the throng of busy travelers could tell he was bald, but the man himself could not see he was bald. Perched atop his head was what looked like the puff of hair that usually lands in the trash after I clean out my brush. He’d poised this tumbleweed directly in the center of his shiny dome in a desperate attempt to convince the world that he was not one who could be classified as bald.
At the sight of this man, my brain could do nothing but make me laugh, and laugh I did for a good two minutes. Not at him, but at the fact that all humans have “problems” that seem so huge to us in the moment but in essence aren’t so important. While I could tell the man that his baldness was really not worth the fretting and styling and grasping at a last-ditch solution of puff-piling, he could probably tell me that the color of the print ad would not be my demise.
Thanks, bald Indian man. I know you don’t think I’m talking to you because you don’t classify yourself as bald, but thanks anyway.

I don’t commonly comment but I gotta admit thankyou for the post on this one : D.
Your physique has three layer from skin. You obtain cellulite when fat tissue inside the inner part starts to help you push this connective tissue in the middle layer and you simply get small to medium sized dimples. Women have got a much leaner skin than men thereby they have an overabundance of cellulite.
Its like you read my mind! You seem to know a lot about this, like you wrote the book in it or something. I think that you could do with a few pics to drive the message home a little bit, but instead of that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
Hi! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog. Is it very difficult to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast.

I’ve been browsing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. Personally, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be much more useful than ever before.

Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.
