RE: My Advice To You For This New Year: Don't Be An Idiot

in Weekend Experiences β€’ 3 years ago (edited)

Great advice and nice reflection. I really needed this advice the other day. I literally did the stupidest thing during my time in France, possibly my life πŸ€”

This isn't totally related to the more deep thoughtful explanation of your post but I'm going to share because you know by now, I love talking about myself on your posts lol.

My wife and I were walking through the forest we always walk through just tromping our way through chattin away like la la la la la
After 15 mins we came out of the path to a dirt road and there was a man standing there facing our direction. I was like la la la 😁 Bonjour! To which he replied quietly πŸ˜’ Bonjour.

As I passed him I was like 😱 "oh shit! he's wearing all orange...

😱 Oh shit! He's standing behind a camouflage blind...

😱 Oh shit! He's holding a rifle...

So my wife and I slink by him quietly with our heads down in shame 😳 for making all kinds of noise and probably ruining his hunt and after we pass I look up and see 12 more hunters spaced out every 15 feet all wearing orange, all holding rifles and all facing the direction of the forest we just walked out of like a friggin firing squad 🀯

We had to walk by every one of them to get out of there. They were probably fucking pissed that we ruined their hunt.

Fucking idiot!! Stupidest thing I've ever done. No critical thinking in sight that dayπŸ™ƒ.

Sort: Β 

Dude this is genius are you kidding me? It's like borderline Naked Gun or Mr Bean, the kind of "idiot" that just saved the day! Do you realize that by ruining their hunt party, you probably saved a family or deer. Close your eyes, can you hear them, looking at you with their tiny Bambi eyes, saying: "Thank you @leaky20, you saved our lives"! β€οΈπŸ‘ŒπŸ™

Haha yeah that was a silver lining I guess. I think it was boar though, not deer. I didn't see this but as we were walking my wife saw a boar cross the dirt road ahead. After that the hunters started blowing horns and stuff so we might have actually saved that boar for real lol.

So what new projects, skills and knowledge do you plan to learn this year? Sounds like you guys took on some serious personal growth projects last year.

Learning how to fly a plane, learning coding, learning how to edit videos, growing as a homesteader, learning about new herbs, becoming a better artist, learn about our own psychology and countless other subjects

Amazing!
I agree what you said about fear too. Limits are self created.

Yeah dude, it has almost become a competition with the wife to see who can become the most awesome person.

She is obviously winning πŸ˜ƒ (in case she reads this haha)

I was learning how to homestead this year, and build shit, now I wanna learn spanish before I cross that border again. Ola!

We also plan to learn how to live on the fly, if we have to 😁, especially because of you know what inside you know who, and me say nono.

My wife gonna learn how to fly this year

Nice, man. Those are good goals. Impressive.

Maybe I should set some goals. But what, that's the question. πŸ€”

Hahaha what do you want?
