How to Properly Make Decisions

How to Properly Make Decisions
a mini-guide by Mackenna

We all have to make decisions sometimes. What should I take a picture of with my camera? What should I paint a picture of next? Which of the people sitting across from me on the Light Rail should I stare awkwardly at while I furiously draw on my own knee? Should I microwave a frozen dinner, or eat the whole thing in it's natural frozen state and be officially classified as a nutcase? What remix should I post on my blog today?
SO MANY GODDAMN DECISIONS

I might not know everything, but I do know this: I pretty much know everything, with a rough translation laced with my own personally poisonous ingredients of language thrown in. Making decisions can be easy if you look at it from a different point of view: I'm not going to say logical, because we often hear that word with an incorrect understanding of what that really entails.

I want you to find a mirror right now, look into it, and say "Logic is not something you learn consciously. In order to seek the verification of one's own logistics, one must inquire into the severity of the true identification   in which society thrives as a mass of multi-cognitive individuals on perceptive yet balanced heterogeneous grounds."

GOOD JOB. you have now uttered complete bullshit to yourself at the command of a virtual mackenna.
How does that make you feel?

As for decision making, it's all in the gut. No, not the two cups of flavored vodka you just powered down that is now mixing with  the unfortunately timed dinner of tostadas and black bean salsa in your stomach. How fortunate for you, I'm sure you'll enjoy seeing that a second time. NO! LOOK PAST THE VODKA. Your decision gland rests a little above your gut, more in your throat area. Behind your sternum. There you go.
Ask yourself a question out loud. Should I eat a cupcake for dessert even though I just ran a mile and a half? Now picture yourself eating the cupcake. Focus on the feels that picture gives you. If the feels are undeniably good, then obviouslY YOU SHOULD GRAB A CUPCAKE BEFORE THEY'RE ALL GONE. If you picture yourself ravenously consuming the cupcake and then being ridden with guilt that the last half mile you ran rigorously today was for nothing, and you see your head hang in shame as makeup stained tears pour down your face, then I have news for you! Your life is not a soap opera, it's an adventure movie and you are the heroic main character that overcomes temptation and tragedy for the sake of RESULTS.

just kidding. eat the cupcake, bitch. You deserve it for how hard you worked.

Also, as the above implies, You may contact me for any decisions you might need help with. I'm great with trusting my sternum.

Now for this evening's remix.
