The things we never do

There’s always a hand­ful of things that I put off. Put off until when? Some mys­te­ri­ous time in the future? Some spe­cial occa­sion that never seems to hap­pen? I would like to air some of these ideas out.

I’ve thought for a long time about doing an Azusa/Glendora beer ride. I’ve thought about it since the Hot Knives beer ride. Although this really wouldn’t work any­more, it was a pretty good plan. There are four really good liquor stores in the Greater Azusa area. They actu­ally make a really good loop and tour of the area. And you know what? The Brown House would have been the per­fect end­ing des­ti­na­tion. Why did I never get this to hap­pen you ask? I have no idea! I thought about it being on my birth­day last year, but it felt like a lot to ask of peo­ple. But would it have been? Prob­a­bly not. Would it have been really fun and doable? Probably.

A lot of the other things I put off have to do with food. Mak­ing soy choco­late milk­shakes? Apple pies? French fries? There never seems a good time to do this. These are the quin­tes­sen­tial spe­cial occa­sion foods to me. They are my absolute favorite items. Are any of them hard to make? Not really. Well, crois­sants would be. I should add crois­sants to the above list. I love croissants.

It’s also like why don’t we have peo­ple over? Why don’t we have a spe­cial occa­sion roof party? I don’t know. There is no time like the present peo­ple! It’s like the roller blades you got for Christ­mas but kept in your closet because you didn’t want to get them messed up. One day you pulled them out to go blad­ing and they didn’t fit any­more! True story. Well, not really, but probably.

What are the things you put off? What are the things you always want to do but the time never feels right? Com­ment away friends. Let it out.
