Now, this may be just me, BUT I think I am seeing a resemblance.

Both, equally horrifying.

What? You Were Maybe Expecting Penwasser Place?

    Well, tough titties, because you're actually here at Kenna's Korner.  Which, okay, is pretty similar in style and tone to Penwasser Place.  In fact, you wouldn't be far wrong to call it identical.  But, it really isn't because, after all, I wasn't born in the Eisenhower Administration.  In fact, I was born during the Clinton Administration so some of the stuff

"Speaking of tough titties."

you'll find here is significantly more hip, more "with it" than anything you'll find over there.  Over there, you'll find pictures of men humping fish.  Over here, you'll find pictures of Miley Cyrus.  Which, some guys may think is pretty close to the same thing.
    Which means that Kenna's Korner is actually pretty close to Penwasser Place.
    See what I did there?  Although, the image of fish sex is a little unsettling.
    Anyway, speaking of Penwasser Place, I've asked the proprietor of said establishment to pen (short for "penwasser,"  I...am...so...clever) a short (he promised) post.  So, without further adieu...you know him as "Al."  I know him as "Dad"  (seriously, has anyone NOT figured that out?).
    Let's give it up for Al Penwasser!

"Good afternoon, Kenna.  Can I call you 'Kenna?'" 
"Certainly!  Can I call you 'Al?'"
"Certainly not.  Shall I go ahead?"
"Sure...yeah...go ahead."

    Anyway, I'd like to thank my daughter for allowing me to visit her humble place.  As I told you over at Penwasser Place, this is my first guest post, so I hope I'm doing it right.  It doesn't seem too difficult.  After all, it's not like I'm setting up a healthcare website, is it?
    
    I gotta tell you, I was very pleased to see that Kenna started her own blog, through no persuasion on my part.  Mostly, because it should be her decision.  But, also, how much time do you think it takes to come up with uproariously funny Captain Captions week after week?  
    
    I also didn't try to steer her in this direction or that.  Of course, I did make a couple suggestions.  For instance, the first name for her blog was something like Ramblings of a White Girl.  I thought it was kinda funny, but she didn't immediately understand how, in today's day and age, it might be perceived.  Bad enough her last name is Lynch (come ON, does anybody NOT know THAT!?).
    

"Oh, we wouldn't mind, dear.
Now have you seen that nice colored girl with our ice tea and cheese sandwiches?"

    That all said, I was surprised that her tone, her style, her "schtick" is very similar to my own.  Except for the "man humping fish" thing.
    

"The Farce is strong in her."

    If I've learned nothing else in the years I've been a wildly successful, award-winning author who cleans toilets for a living, I've learned that keeping blog posts short and (dear Lord, I hope) funny is the way to go.  Including a couple pictures along the way also (dear Lord, I hope) helps keep people interested.  Pictures with captions are also a fantastic idea, as well.  They (dear Lord, I hope) hold peoples' interest.  If nothing else, they provide easy material for a quick comment as readers scroll through the post.
    

Okay, maybe not so successful

    For that, you all are welcome.
    
    Luckily, Kenna's Korner already does that.  My biggest suggestion to her is that she keep a "picture library" on file.  That way, she can quickly go to her list rather than Google a particular image.
    

Plus, this could really raise Search Engine flags.

    Finally, I suggested she go with one or two posts a week.  Most importantly, she can concentrate on her work as a college student-she'll be graduating in May.  Plus, one post a week will keep the things fresh, resulting in an excited readership who just can't wait to read each new entry.  You know, like a Penwasser Place (dear Lord, I hope).
    
    So, in keeping with my advice, I'm going to keep this short and go fishing.    

Hey, she brought it up.

    Thanks, Kenna, for letting me visit!

    "You're more than welcome.  Lucky for me, this guest post has met the criteria for only one post a week so I'm set till next weekend.  But, before I go, how 'bout a little Miley?" 

Hmm...maybe he's on to something with that fish thing.

Happy New Year!

I know that's what you're all thinking.

I haven't been around in over a month, and I am still kicking myself for it. Regardless I normally wouldn't use memes, but I found this quite necessary being that I have been a "you know what" and fell off the face of the Earth. 

In case anyone was worried (probably not), I am out of hibernation and ready to start writing again. 

I know, we're impressed. 

The topic I would like to discuss today is 2015.

I swear I won't talk too long. But here is just a couple things I am thinking are worth discussing being that it is the New Year. 

#1NO NO NO NO NO NO

I'll start a hashtag for this one: #STOPMANBUNS2016. Just stop. 

First of all, 10$ for an attachable man bun? Pass.

Second, I am not saying I hate the style necessarily, BUT the clip ons are just a no in my opinion.

#2 Now I am sincerely asking....when did he become popular again? I know the whole redeeming himself album, and the Justin Bieber roast, but all of sudden he is a huge thing again. Just wondering.

On a side note, he resembles someone pretty familiar with that new haircut.

Just saying.

Any way, I could really go on about 2015, but let's just leave it at that and agree it was a good year, and we are all looking forward to this coming year.

Happy Holiday's ya'll!

Last week of Hell

It is finally here!

For college students (that would be me), it is the last week of classes then it is the dreaded finals week of hell. I'm sure everyone is not entirely the happiest they've ever been these two weeks.

 I mean, Lindsay doesn't seem ecstatic for finals.

  Finals week welcomes you like the devil welcomes you to the fiery pits of hell--a diabolical smile with the knowledge of your utmost upcoming torture.

 Okay. This guy had different intentions in Hocus Pocus.

If you catch my drift...

Now the commencement of torture for finals week, but it doesn't have to be ALL that bad. Here are some tips to lesson the stress during these next couple weeks for students: 

1. Exercise! I know for me personally, exercise is a wonderful way to de stress. It releases some happy hormones or whatever they're called. Either way, exercise is a plus. 

2. Eat healthy, well-balanced meals. I know, it is so goddamn tempting to snack for 3 years on that bag of potato chips (not that it would take that long, those bags are half air), but you must resist!

3. Do not forget to take a couple study breaks. I don't know how people can study for 6 hours straight without wanting to tear their eyes out, but in any case, always give your brain a break. Do a something for a half hour such as going on a walk, write [kind of like what I'm doing right now (mind blown)], or simply just knit or something. I don't know what you people do for fun.
 

There are several more pieces of wisdom I could bestow upon you, but I will leave my advice at that. Mostly because I highly doubt any of you want me to keep rambling on.

Study on folks! You can do this!

Just do it

 Tis' the Season of Bloating and Food Comas

Ah yes, Thanksgiving is t-minus one week from today. Yes, it is already Thanksgiving time. It is time for over eating, over drinking, and lots of questions from your family that you must answer about 50 times throughout the entirety of the day. 

I think my favorite time of November though is the two weeks between November 1st and Thanksgiving. Now, it sounds insane because nothing interesting happens then besides the bi-polar weather (& Veteran's Day). The reason why I enjoy those two weeks is because I enjoy seeing the incredibly anxious Christmas celebrators who decorate on November 1st and start their Christmas caroling immediately following taking down their Halloween decorations. Fal la la la la it is Christmas time 

In contrast, there is so "Bahh humbug" people who just can't quite get into spirit. In other words, these are are the bitter people who rant on social media about how it is not "Christmastime" and there is still Thanksgiving, blah blah. The clashing between both sides is purely entertaining. 

Remember though, no matter what ANYONE says, there is time at any time of the year to watch "Elf." 

Everyone on Thanksgiving^

See a bit of both holidays? Compromise.

 

Anyways, Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas ***pause for angry rants about how it is not Christmas yet. 

 I'll leave you with some nice Christmas spirit from Miley.

Looks like Santa is drinking a lot of Eggnog there.

 

Inspiration

Here is some inspiration to keep everyone's hopes up on this beautifully cold and rainy day..

Remember whenever you are down and you just have no motivation to be productive, you have to: 

Just do it,
& don't let your dreams be dreams. 

Halloweekend to an End

All the pumpkin picking pictures, the spooks, and the awkward month filled with chilly mornings and blazing hot afternoons are coming to a close as November begins.

Now, I am not in any way "hating" on these concepts because I know I am guilty of it myself. The pumpkin spice lattes are my guilty pleasure, and you can't go pumpkin picking without taking basic pictures. So, I get it. You can't go wrong with going to at least a million haunted attractions throughout the month of October. 

Yes, I dressed up for Halloween as well. I didn't do anything too crazy. If any 90's babies recall Doug, I was the main character's love interest, Patti Mayonnaise. If you still are deprived of a childhood and still don't know who I am talking about here's a visual image: 

 There you go.

Halloween is filled with multiple types of people, and to be honest, you see more of some people than is probably necessary. 

In my opinion, there are three types of people on Halloween. 

Firstly there's people who, as I mentioned before, probably reveal a bit. Or a lot. 

Because I'm a mouse, duh.

Secondly, there's the people who in Lindsay Lohan's case, didn't get the memo on the "slut" rule.

Then there's the third type of person on Halloween (which is my personal favorite). That would be the people who just dress for humor. Unfortunately, I don't have a Mean Girls reference for this one, but here's some Miley again. 

haha sike. 

In all seriousness though, Halloween is easily one of my favorite holidays; you can be anyone for a night (or 3). It's also a day where you can't be judged for what you wear or who you are. It's just all silly and fun, and you can't go wrong with that.

Now time for Thanksgiving. 

Or Christmas...either way.
