"Born Fitness" Contribution

Today, I was looking around at other blogs and a particular blog really stuck out to me. It's titled, Born Fitness. If any of you are like me, and like fitness and staying healthy (sometimes) then you should definitely check it out. 

I found a particular post that I really enjoyed from there, and here it is for your viewing:

http://www.bornfitness.com/why-diet-plans-really-fail/

To sum it up, the post explains why diet plans fail. I know first hand why, because I have failed and failed and failed again. A lot of people tend to give up what they love such as: ice cream, cake hamburgers, etc. Then after depriving themselves of fantastic food for so long, they crack! 

I know, right? It is so shocking. 

(By the way the answer is Reykjavic)

Just kidding, I have no clue, but that is the only one I can pronounce.

Honestly, give up on the food depriving diets. Just portion your foods. GASP! It's really not much coming from me, because I will be the first one to try those diets over and over again. Don't do that, and portion your foods, because I am telling you that you'll be a lot happier in the long run. 

Just do it. 

JUST DO IT 

JUST DO IT

Seriously though, just drink a 'whole heck of a lot' of water, exercise regularly, and watch what you eat, but within reason.

My suggestion is to purchase a large water bottle and keep it on you all day, every single day. That way it forces me to drink of 'whole heck of a lot' of water everyday. Let me tell you that water bottle comes in handy when I walk up a flight of stairs, and I am thirsty. 

I'm dead sexy. 

Goodnight folks!

Shut your mouth Lindsay, you don't want a bug flying in there. 

Thinking way into mundane things

Tonight as I am sitting here drinking a cup of the finest coffee I am wondering about a lot. Now, let me elaborate since I sound painfully vague right now. 

First, I'm wondering why I haven't taken advantage of these Victoria's Secret coupons lying right beside me on my desk (yes, I looked up which form of "lying" to use because quite frankly the English language is f***** up). I would've had billions--okay not billions--but I would have some good deals on items there if I just got off my sorry behind. 

Anyway, that really is not the main goal of my post today. **PHEW** Right? Could you imagine if I sat here for 25 minutes talking about panties and bras? Ha ha. Ha.

See? Kanye thinks I'm funny. 

Yikes, or not. 

The real topic I was sincerely thinking about today while drinking my coffee was the concept of coffee mugs. Now, listen real quick. I know you're thinking "What the eff" does it matter? Who gives a flying "you know what" about coffee mugs. Now, let me elaborate real quick here. 

I was sitting here drinking out of my Edgar Allen Poe mug, and I realized that the type of mugs we use really tells the world about us. Now if you don't know who Edgar Allen Poe is, I'll explain in a quick few words. He was a poet from the 1800's who was incredibly infamous for his unquestionable darkness he expressed in his poems. Like my goodness, that man gives you the chills. Not joking. Just look him up. Here's a picture for reference if you know, want to know what he looks like for whatever reason. 

I must say though that the mustache "really adds a little something extra don't cha think?"

Anyways, what made me choose this kind of mug? What does it say about me? This particular mug has a bunch of Poe's famous lines written all over the mug, plus an absolutely dashing picture of him. This mug could mean I am a die hard poet fan who likes reading dark and fantastic poems, or it could mean I like the colors and it was a good price at the "Poe Evermore" performance I went to back in November. Who knows, but I went out of my way to present that mug. 

Or for instance, I also have a mug with zebra stripes and purple surrounding the whole circumference of the cylinder. I do like purple, and I make sure the general public knows that singular fact about me; yes I also went through a zebra print obsession phase back in freshman year.

Even coffee mugs represent what we are apart of. I have a couple mugs representing my university. 

My brother even collects coffee mugs; he brings a fun coffee mug into work every day. I don't blame him though, because I do plan on doing something like that once I am a true big shot adult.

 It is not that time yet. 

For now, I am going to continue to sit here and think too much into coffee mug selections. 

Oh yeah, and how about that Super Bowl?

That felt so incredibly necessary. Plus, that women next to Eli just looks so happy.

Congrats Broncos!

"I like it a loooooootttt."

Just Wear a Hat

Today, I really would like to talk about a serious issue in the world of women. This kind of problem makes us cringe and convinces ourselves the right to be slapped in the face by beauty itself.

Bad hair days.

The reason I feel the obligation to discuss this topic is because I suffer from this "fashion emergency" at least a few days a week, if not, nearly everyday. For instance, a couple days ago I was getting ready for class. Now, maybe I should've showered that day, but does that really matter [it does]? 

Anyways, I did every type of style on my head possible to fix this issue. 

1. I threw my hair up in a bun, but of course with this new haircut I am sporting-- this entices loads of layers--I unfortunately failed miserably being that all the "layers" have this desire to fly down providing me with a wispy hairstyle. 

2. I tried braids, but again, those nasty little "layers" fly out of my head some more. 

3. My last attempt was a pony tail, but unfortunately since I failed my first initial task to shower, that idea flew out the window. 

Ladies, just wear a hat and be done with it.

Mackenna didn't shower that day.

She had a bad hair day.

Mackenna suffered a beauty disaster.

Don't be like Mackenna.

Be Jennifer Aniston.

Always be Jennifer Aniston.

Or just try your best.

BLIZZARD 2K16

BLIZZARD 2K16

Expectation:

Reality: 

These snowed in days are filled with hopes of snuggling with that girl you always wanted to, well, snuggle up with, snow angels, hot chocolate, and ultimately no school 

(Oh, and maybe a little drinking, maybe). 

Although, I must say not having class today was fantastic, I still dislike snow for eternity. Unfortunately, I didn't get to snuggle or drink hot chocolate all day. I watched my favorite Travel Channel's TV show, Ghost Adventures. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching three steroid filled men chasing ghosts and screaming, "Dude!" and "Oh my God, dude!" every five seconds (I love it).

I was completely and totally okay with doing this all day. When I say I did this all day, I did perform this activity all. day. Not joking. Not at all. But hey, I didn't have the stereotypical college student drinking booze fest this BLIZZARD 2K16. Guess I'll have to wait another 20 years. 

Oh well. I'm just going to "Do my Thang." 

Quick Pic

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!
