			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photo/kwl" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.flickr.com/photo/kwl?referer=');"><img class="size-medium wp-image-865  alignright" title="Image via Creative Commons/kennymatic photostream" src="http://redheadwriting.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/dry-hump-199x300.jpg" alt="Down, boy!" width="199" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>It&#8217;s the funk-a-dunk. That&#8217;s where I&#8217;m at. How about you? This week&#8217;s <strong>Bitch Slap</strong> is as much for me as it is y&#8217;all. Yeah, I said &#8220;y&#8217;all.&#8221; You can take the girl out of Texas but you sure as hell can&#8217;t take away her &#8220;y&#8217;all.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Stop dry-humping life. </strong></p>
<p>You know what I&#8217;m talking about.</p>
<p>You&#8217;re going through the motions but &#8230; what you&#8217;re doing isn&#8217;t fulfilling. You&#8217;re content being the dude at the gym who walks around with ILS (Imaginary Lat Syndrome) or the chick on the cross-trainer going 83 MPH on level 1. You think it&#8217;s all about <em>going through the motions</em>.</p>
<p>Quit it.</p>
<p>What you&#8217;re doing is no different than having a pity party &#8211; and boy &#8211; I&#8217;m familiar with the concept. While I love what I do and work is simply awesome (no other word to describe it), it&#8217;s as if my personal life left the greyhound track and became the dog you see in the picture. <em>Hump, hump, hump</em>.</p>
<p><strong>What are you dry-humping these days?</strong></p>
<p>I feel like I&#8217;ve hit a wall on several things, so instead of stopping, evaluating and reassessing, I&#8217;ve forged straight ahead and damn the consequences.</p>
<p>Dry humping.</p>
<p>Every one of you reading this is dry humping something in your life. I&#8217;ll contend that each and every one of you knows exactly what you&#8217;ve got your legs wrapped around, too.</p>
<p>So now that you see it, stop it.</p>
<p>Have a seat and get your proverbial junk back in-line and ask yourself:</p>
<p><strong>W</strong><strong>hy am I doing this?</strong></p>
<p><strong>What do I gain from it?</strong></p>
<p><strong>What else could I be doing that&#8217;s less &#8220;dry&#8221; and more &#8220;humping?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p>Face it: humping is satisfying on many levels. When you add the &#8220;dry&#8221; to the equation, however, it begins to take on a&#8230;less pleasant tone. If I&#8217;ve lost readers by this point because you think it&#8217;s crass I&#8217;m using &#8220;dry humping&#8221; as a colloquialism, fine. Beat it. Go back to the leg you&#8217;re grinding away on and don&#8217;t mind the redhead in the corner saying that shit you don&#8217;t want to hear.</p>
<p>But wouldn&#8217;t life be better if you got off the leg and back on track?</p>
