Personal Trainers and Paul McCartney’s Guitar

I wrote down these two blog ideas next to each other but at two different times months apart and just now realize how much they go together. So here…

Idea 1:

“That’s why celebrities look so good because they can afford personal trainers”- I overheard this in a hotel lobby.

Idea 2:

Paul McCartney’s guitar plays the same chords as yours.


Celebrities give us an easy out. They have the magic fairy dust and I don’t. Good things just happen for them and bad things follow me around. Life is easy for them and hard for me. They are different than me and that’s why they’re successful and I’m lucky to get scraps. And I can’t change that so I’m doomed.
