Twick or tweak.......

Ding dong......

Nope, not, nada.. No Ding Dongs, Twinkies, no candy, no processed food, Coke/Pepsi/Mtn Dew - NO. White bread? Be for real Victor. Say goodbye to Frito Lay, Dunkin Donuts, 300 burgers.. NO, NOT THE 300 BURGERS! Sorry Victor, you're getting fat, tweak that.

Ahm, yes, fine JC Penny staffer, I needs me a pair of them skinny 36-30 jeans... Well sir, howabout we tweak that and go with a pair of 38-30 relaxed fit? Oh ok..

"Pride is hard to swallow, but it will go down." Conrad Dobler (at least that's who I heard said it first.)

Tweak: twist or pull (something) sharply.. pull, jerk, tug, twist, twitch, pinch, squeeze.

No, not that one.... what's the other one?

Tweak: improve (a mechanism or system) by making fine adjustments to it.

Yeah, that one.

You mean like November 2018? Oops, sorry......... yes, if you mean getting out and exercising your right to vote, yes, like that.

You mean like insteada passing the Hot Damn bottle around, we carry sanitary wipes with us everywhere? We fist bump insteada handshake? We tell the sneezy cubicle dude next to us "Go home dude or we will neuter you." Yeah, sorta, I think you're getting it, or close. We gotta tweak this dadgum world.

What else blogger-breath?

Well, little things.. You mean like rescue a dog or a cat?.. Victor, I notice words coming out both the right side and the left side of your mouth. Tweak that wouldya? Yeah but, apartment dictators won't lemme have a dog. You mean landlord. OK, yes, landlord. OK, then what about a cat? You LOVE cats too. yeah but, yeah but, LANDLORD wants a $300 deposit. VICTOR, you started this tweak crap, are you in or out? OK, I'll get a dadgum piggy bank, start saving.

Back to "the diet" Victor.. howabout becoming a weekday vegetarian.. we gotta keep up with the demand for meat products.. better for your health.. better for the environment... Maybe fast for a couple of meals and give what you would have spent to a charity? Victor?... VICTOR?!!! Oh, sorry... I was in this baby dream, and the lady had just handed me a 300 burger.. VICTOR! OK, damnit, rabbit food it is. Will peanut butter work too? Uh huh, will.

Anonymous blog person talking to Victor, how else? Enough about my big belly, what else can we tweak to make this a better world?

Thought you'd never ask.... a few ideas:

Pay it forward
Be a fountain, not a drain
Listen more, talk less
Hold the door open for someone
Maybe try the words 'sir' and 'ma'am'..
Pack a Care Kit for a homeless person

Keep on tweakin' anon dude, I'm enjoying this...

OK...

Maybe sign up as an organ donor..
Pickup trash out in public..
Do something for an elderly person... You mean, like, I'm old, drive myself the bowling alley for a.. VICTOR!!

Carry on your wayward way Anon:

OK....

Read the newspaper? Save it for someone else to read..
Buy a (DIET) soda from machine, leave some spare change for the next guy...
Go by a buddy's house, office and find they ain't there.. leave a note wishing them a good day..

HEY, maybe we could write a song! You know, like "I'd like to tweak the world to change, in perfect harmony." Victor, please stick to your day job. But I ain't got one? Tweak that, get one.

Mahatma Gandhi... Rosa Parks... Winston Churchill... Neslon Mandela... MLK... Mother Teresa... Princess Diana...

Yeah but, yeah but, all those folks are larger than life... I'm just an old fart on a fixed income who sits at home and watches Channel 9 all day....

Victor, change starts in small ways.... You CAN help. Getting off your duff and exercising would be a nice start.. and:

Think, before you answer.
Wing a compliment when you witness a deserving act...
Be a good neighbor (Yeah but, that guy upstairs kinda speaks in broken English... VICTOR...ok, sorry)..
Volunteer...
Pray...
Be authentic in everything you do.

Nuttin personal Anon dude, this blog has been kinda boring.

Victor, yes, change is heavy. But too: Wonderful. Rewarding. Enlightening.

Even if means giving up 300 burgers and caving in to buy that 38" belt?

Yes, Victor, now you're getting it. Oh, and one more thing - the undies. Victor, no more flipping.

In my best Alvin voice "OHHHHHHHHKKKKAAAYYYYY!"

Thanks, that's the twick... er, tweak.

Love, Victurd
