Some people are just inherently good. I think I have good qualities, but I definitely have a vindictive, childish, Petti side (see what I did there?) I do know, however, a handful of people (or less) who are just good.

One of them is my friend Kelly. In all the time I’ve known her, I don’t think I’ve ever heard her say a bad thing about anyone. And not in that judgey, “Oh we better watch what we say around Kelly” way, because even though she won’t talk badly about someone, she’ll definitely give a sly smile and chuckle when someone else says something a little not-so-nice.

She can also take a joke like no one else I’ve ever known. We relentlessly tease her about her gigantic pointer finger (seriously, it looks like E.T.’s phone home finger but it doesn’t light up), and she’ll be the first one to make fun of the Tigger tattoo she got in her 20s because it’s only his head and not the rest of his body – and also, because it’s a Tigger tattoo 😂

People like Kelly are very few and far between. But one thing I have a problem with is that she won’t admit that Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers looks like a total creeper.

Don’t get me wrong, when Suck My Kiss came out in the 90s I couldn’t get enough of the RHCP – although I was more into the guitarist John Frusciante than Kiedis.

My interest started waning a bit after the 11,000,000,000 time I heard Under the Bridge on the radio, but I could still appreciate that they were a great band and Kiedis was a good-looking man.

But Kelly loves Anthony Kiedis, even now with a mustache that makes him look like John Holmes. If you don’t know who that is because you’re not a freak like me, just picture Uncle Rico from Napoleon Dynamite. Kiedis also has the same hairstyle as both of them. I think he’s doing it in an ironic way (I hope) but it’s got to stop.

Full disclosure, I’m writing about Anthony Kiedis as sort of a challenge from Kelly because sometimes she’ll throw out things for me to blog about.

Last night she suggested Kiedis and I laughed and said, “Ok, no one will understand why I’m writing about him but at least you will.”

I decided to make it more about Kelly, because people like her deserve a blog post dedicated to them.

And if you take inventory of your friends and realize you have a good egg like her, you should consider yourself lucky ❤️
