Top Ten Daily Good Stuff Themes

Daily Good Stuff has been around since March 2013. I’ve done a few “special” posts. It can be a challenge to find specific types of quotes or jokes or videos and such. However, themed posts get more views than others so I like to get as many as I can. Let’s look at the top ten so far. I’ll link that post to you so you can check it out if you want.

There’s some math involved. I’m looking at a combined number of likes and views for each post. So really, this is a post generated by you, the readers.

10. Daily Good Stuff 15: 5 Pictures Must Be Worth 5,000 Words

I was surprised that this made the list. This post was five funny images. That’s about it. But, as we’ll see later in this post, image posts are fairly popular.

9. Daily Good Stuff 140: Babies

Clearly the most adorable of all of the DGS’s this post was centered around babies and toddlers.

8. Daily Good Stuff 223: Get Dirty 2

On a couple of rare instances, I will make a second version of a theme. Most of the time, it’s the birthday stuff. However, I decided to do a second Get Dirty post recently. The views really came in on it. Interestingly enough, this post has the same amount of views as the babies one. So, it came down to likes. The babies got no likes while this post got two. There ya go: People prefer being dirty over looking at babies. Trust me.

Repost and Update: My Most Embarrassing Moments

We took a look at awkward moments sometime last week. Welp, today we’re gonna talk about some…interesting things that have happened to me.

You gotta laugh at yourself.

In my original post, I only had two moments. This time, those two return as well as a couple of new moments. I rarely feel embarrassed about something, but when I am embarrassed, it’s worth the feeling I guess.

My pants fell down.

I remember this day. I was wearing a pair of button down pants. The kind of pants that athletes wear for warm-ups before a basketball game. Well, over the course of the day, my top button on I believe the left side started to rip or something. Anyway, I was in the parking lot of my church. Right in the middle of the lot. The catch? Church had just ended and so there were a lot of people walking to their cars, driving around, or just standing around talking to friends and such. And my pants just fell. But I wasn’t the first person to notice. There were a couple of kids who were pointing and laughing at me. The very next second, I felt a nice breeze (it was Fall weather. Very fitting) in my private area. The next second, I look down and see my pants are sliding down . I managed to pull them up before they passed my knees.

That was one of the most humiliating moments of my life. I was just a pre-teen too, maybe even younger than that.

I peed on myself.

Not your typical pee on the self story. In fact, it wasn’t the sight of pee. Whenever I’m nervous, my bladder tends to want to empty itself. Most of the time, it’s #2 for some odd reason but there has only been one certain occasion where pee is the main culprit: Band concerts. Oh dear God. I mean, I’m a good saxophone player. I knew all the songs. I wasn’t nervous about that. I’m the stage fright guy.

You know how mom or dad asks you “Did you use the restroom? We’re about to leave and I’m not stopping anywhere.” or something like that? Well I always used the bathroom before I left for the band concert. But again, my bladder would not be denied. When we got to the church where the concert was, I needed to use the bathroom. I didn’t know where the nearest bathroom was. I eventually found one and just as I reached the stall, it started. I was peeing right there while trying to untuck my shirt and unbuckle my belt and pull down my pants. I managed to pee about half of it into the urinal but the damage was done.

But that’s not the end of the story.

20 Random Thoughts

I have always had a strange mind. I decided to showcase this with 20 thoughts I’ve had this week. After you read this, you can’t unread it. In all of this, we remember that this is all a dream, or something. I like stuff and a cow isn’t a hippo.

On to the list!

10 Facts You May Not Know About Me

I have revealed a little of myself. And while I’ve built a presence with a  certain identity, there are a few things you may not know about me. Welp, I guess it’s time you learned a little more about who is behind this voice. There’s some good, bad, funny, weird, and…I guess that’s it.

Number 1: My origin is West African

I found out about this during the summer. Thanks to an injury to one of my sisters in her wrist, she got it x-rayed. The doctor noticed that a bone in her wrist was “not normal” but there was nothing wrong with it and that same form is typically found in West Africans. Yay for me. I’ll have to get to know my roots. I don’t know what part of West Africa we’re from and I don’t know if it’s mom or dad’s side. It just so happens my god-siblings are West African (born here but their mother is born in West Africa). So, we’re a little more related I guess.

Number 2: I would describe my life as “organized chaos”

I’m very messy. My room is messy. And yet, I happen to know where everything is. All my important paper work is accounted for. I seem to thrive in clutter and chaos. I have a lot of stuff going on and yet it’s comfortable. When I do clean my room, it feels awkward and empty and boring. For instance, the next few months are gonna be wild. I’m lighting director for the Christmas Cantata, ALPHA Facilitator, News Desk Writer as well as blogger for FanSided, school, teaching Sunday church and running this blog. And I’m not feeling pressured at all.

Number 3: I can’t stand my voice

That video series I did? I haven’t actually listened to it. I hate hearing my voice. You know how sometimes we don’t notice things until they are pointed out to us? Then we’ll go, “Hey, you’re right!”. So, to try to prevent you from hating my voice the way I do, I won’t tell you what I hate about it.

Weekly Funnies 17: Some favorites

It’s that time again! Time for some funnies. We’ll be looking at a few of my favorite jokes and pictures. I say, it’s still funny the second time around.

 

 

Two cowboys come upon an Indian lying on his stomach with his ear to the ground. One of the cowboys stops and says to the other, “You see that Indian?”

“Yeah,” says the other cowboy.

“Look,” says the first one, “he’s listening to the ground. He can hear things for miles in any direction.”

Just then the Indian looks up. “Covered wagon,” he says, “about two miles away. Have two horses, one brown, one white. Man, woman, child, household effects in wagon.”

“Incredible!” says the cowboy to his friend. “This Indian knows how far away they are, how many horses, what color they are, who is in the wagon, and what is in the wagon. Amazing!”

The Indian looks up and says, “Ran over me about a half hour ago.”

Sounds painful!

Weekly News 3

Time to look at the latest news from the week.

Welp, don’t ya just hate when you have a funeral for a complete stranger? Well, that’s what happened in Philly as a service was held for a woman…a woman that was apparently still alive. Now, the casket had a body in it which was identified by relatives as the correct woman. Oops. The woman showed up two weeks after the funeral. Mmkay. Seems it was an honest mix-up; no faking death. But, in the end, there’s no details about how this all could’ve happened. What happened to the woman for people to believe she died? They thought she died…what did they say the cause of death was? Is she mentally stable (she showed up at a mental institution)? This is one of those stories I’ll be keeping an eye on so hopefully I’ll have an update for you soon.

Oh man…here’s a great story. Lego calls this kid a hero for his charity work. And, it’s Lego so you know legos are involved. They built a life size statue of the 10 year old. Stay classy, Lego.

Sleep texting is becoming a big deal. Man, the human body call be crazy sometimes.

So we got a guy offering a homeless man…who apparently is pretty darn smart…to code.  It looks like this could grow into a diamond in the rough.
