Hey, thank you. That was very kind.
@ correcting spelling. I was teasing, and trying to bury the hatchet.
I make some really atrocious spelling and grammatical errors, and I just donât care that much, but I know you all have to put up with it. Itâs come up before. And I sometimes âcorrectâ profanity when I respond to someone, which hopefully people think is a funny quirk and not an insult.
Degrees in Rippetonian Studies and Single Malt Whiskey Appreciation donât count.
All good, emotional intelligence, much mo betta,
Rippetonian studies and my thesis on the benefits of Michelob Ultra not included in the three advanced degrees.
But, both of the aforementioned are much more valuable than the Ed, English, and Creative Writing degrees.
Emotional intelligence much mo betta.

You know I was joking, right? And who the fuck is Michelob Ultra? Thatâs really advanced shit.

Michelob Ultra is a low cal beer here in Murrrica.

My wife had to take a quiz that supposedly measures emotional intelligence. After she took it (and got irritated), I decided to try it. We both have low emotional intelligence.
I looked at what the âcorrectâ answers were and it appears that having high emotional intelligence would mean living a drama filled life where I tried to intervene and fix everyoneâs problems.
Iâll stick with my emotional stupidity.

I think thatâs a good thing. If one of you had a high emotional intelligence, and the other was low, that would be a bad thing.
There are no âcorrectâ answers. I know this will sound woowoo and emo, but youâre perfect bro. Youâre perfect for where you are, and itâs all good.
I donât think high emotional intelligence means living a drama filled life. I think it means being smart enough, mindful enough, to walk away from what doesnât serve you. If drama is a problem, and you walk away, sorry to say, you have a high emotional intelligence.
I might be wrong, wouldnât be the first time, but I think emotional intelligence means being in touch with what is good for you. If that means being a fucking meat head, pick things up and put things down, if that serves you, you are emotionally intelligent.
Rock on brother.

There are only two types of beer; Irish stout, and Irish red ale. If you drink anything else, you may get drunk, but it will not have been achieved with beer.
PSA: Do this in an Irish pub and we have to stab you repeatedly, and bury you in an unmarked grave. Sorry if you donât like that, but it is the law.

I thought the quiz was made for girls. One question asked what you would do if two of your friends were fighting. I selected the answer âignore itâ. I think the âcorrectâ answer was to talk to each of them and try to understand their point of view.
No, thanks. Weâre all adults here. I donât have enough energy to play referee.
Another question asked what you would do if your child threw a fit in the store after you told her she couldnât have candy. I chose âIgnore her and continue my tripâ. The âcorrectâ answer was probably to talk to her about her feelings and why she was upset.
I live that exact circumstance. I know my daughter. There is no reason for her fits. You canât fix them. You just let her wear herself out and move on. My daughter cries for 20 minutes straight because her socks feel weird. Thereâs just no way to figure that shit out.

EQ was a required subject over here for pre-university students around 15 years ago. Then the government realized it was stupid and abolished it lol.

What you should have written was, âI canât fix them.â
Ah, yes. I get so used to speaking/typing in generalities instead of personalizing it. But in this case, saying âyou canât fix itâ may still be accurate.
What is that? An Irish Car Bomb?
My old favorite was Molson Golden, Bushmills, and a big bag of the sticky bud. Many a good man completely forgot about stabbing me after a few good rounds of those.
That is Guinness mixed with sprite. An affrontery to my nation, good morals, and to the divine logos.

My Canadian girlfriend approves the Molson. I canât approve the Bush, Iâm a Jamesonâs man.
Sprite?!? By all means, do what ever you can to stop that shit!
That actually warrants a punch directly in the balls.
Or ovaries. Or unicorn seeds. Or what ever who ever is doing that has.

There is a Jamaican mother out there who disagrees.
