I hope that you take the time to listen to it It's a longer podcast. So just take a couple of days and listen to it bit by bit by bit yeah, I'm excited.
Are you? Good. Today's expression is blah, blah, blah, blah.
Can you spell that?
Yes, I can spell that, B -L -A -H, blah.
So sometimes if you're reading a tweet on the internet, a comment in a novel, in a book, maybe on the transcripts of a television show or the subtitles of a movie, you'll see BLAH, do not say blah, blah, it sounds like a sheep.
No, it's like blah, blah, blah.
That's how we actually say it.
And what does it mean?
It means, no good, no good.
That's what it means, no good.
It could be about food.
how is the apple pie?
it could be about your health how do you feel?
it could be about a movie did you enjoy the movie yeah it's all the same thing and the word is blah b -l -a -h check out the dialogue you look a little blah yeah huh I am blah.
Nothing's going right in my life.
Oh yeah, if you're depressed, you will feel blah.
Yeah, but don't. Come on.
We all have our ups and downs, okay, and some people are down a lot, but don't worry.
Maybe you're going to have a good day.
If you're down a lot, maybe you need to change your friends.
Maybe you need to change your environment.
Maybe you need some space.
There's a solution.
Don't worry. There's a solution and you can do it.
Now some people might say, no, the solution takes too much money.
No, it's impossible.
My solution is bad.
Yeah, I know. Some people are in really, really difficult situations and my heart goes out to you.
and I just pray that you will find a way.
You will find a way.
Most people, if they think a little bit, they can find a way.
It's not that difficult.
But I understand some people, oh, they do have serious difficulties and if your life is blah, that's no good.
That's no good. You need to find excitement.
Maybe you can find excitement in a book.
Maybe you can find excitement in your mind by creating things, and art.
Maybe your family can provide more excitement or maybe not.
Maybe your friends or maybe your future can provide more excitement.
But if you're feeling blah, just remember, it's temporary.
And you can get out of those blah feelings by finding something that inspires you.
It's not easy. you gotta look for it, it's you, you gotta do it.
Nobody else can do it for you, you gotta do it.
So if you watch a movie and it's blah, no problem, don't ever watch it again.
If you eat some food and it's blah, well, if your mom made it, you have to lie and say it was delicious.
If your wife made it or your husband made it, can you tell them the truth that it's blah?
Anyway, maybe you can cook next time.
If your cooking is blah, then never cook again.
See, there are things you can do to remove the blahs from your life.
So do your best. You guys have a fantastic day!
Be happy! And, yeah, I'll be back again tomorrow.
Take care everybody.
