I have a pretty stressful job. If you have read any details about me you are aware that I work in IT, nerd for hire. I usually work with a partner and my day typically consists of putting out technical related fires. Sometimes these events are small and petty. Other times an entire factory or business can be dependent upon our decisions and skill to get them back going. The customers are losing money every minute they are down. Depending on the situation some customers are glad to see us show up, others are madder than hell at their dilemma. Either way, I usually take point and set the customer at ease. I shake their hand, put a smile on my face and a twinkle in my eye that states “you just hired the baddest mutherfuckers in the area and we are fixing to get supernatural up in this bitch.” I then break out my wits and magical nerd tools and go to work. Once the problem is resolved I shake the customers hand again, usually they are all smiles, give them a little grin and another eye twinkle stating this time “I told you we are some bad mutherfuckers” and we leave. I depart with my shoulders back, head high, smile still exposed and proceed to my company vehicle. By the time I enter my vehicle and out of sight of the customer my shoulders are slouched, my head is low and my grin has evaporated. Now, we are off to our next adventure. This process will continue for the entire work day. It is draining. This week has been especially stressful. I know I am not the only one that finds themselves in similar stress related situations. For these, I offer my solution, P!NK.
I have had a crush on P!NK since she hit the scene many moons ago. I adored her right from the start. Her hair, her clothes, her ink and her fucking attitude. She is the toughest sweetheart ever. Yes, I have seen her live. Yes, I had on a P!NK t-shirt (yes, I was that guy) Yes, I knew the words to every song. Yes, I sang as loud as I could to every song. Yes, I was dancing like a 190 lb idiot. Yes, I was in awe and loved every fucking minute of it. So, once again if you have read anything I have posted previously you know I am a metalhead. Jinjer, Gojira, Rammstein, Slipknot, Pantera, Megadeth, etc, these are my get me through a day bands. However, when I have had a rough week or day, I always fall back on my goto girl, P!NK.
Whether it is Just like a pill, Beautiful Trauma, Slut like you, U & ur hand, So What!? I love them all. My personal favorite of all time is Fuckin’ Perfect. So if you find yourself having a day/week like me; strap on your Beats, plug in your Apple ear buds, my personal block out the fucking world instrument is a studio set of JBL’s. The choice is yours. Then click on the link below. I chose the lyric version because some might not be able to play the real video. Content issues. Anyhow, strap in, click the link and sing at the top of your lungs “Pretty, Pretty Please.. Don’t you ever, ever feel, Like you’re less than Fuckin’ Perfect.” You will feel better. If you cry a little that’s OK too.
