Hello people,

 

You’re listening to the first episode of Cookies and Milk and Shadow Work; A Podcast.  I’m your host, and my name, is Will.

 

You might be wondering, what is Shadow work?  Well, I did some light reading on the subject before I started this podcast, and shadow work is basically any emotion that a person can have that does not perfectly line up with this commercialist nightmare we call a society.  Any misplaced emotion that just has nowhere to go, is basically something you have to shadow work on. 

 

For instance, traffic.  You just have to accept that traffic has gotten so much worse.  There’s nothing for you to do, there’s nothing can do about traffic, except deal with your negative emotions in private, for 20 minutes after you’ve finally parked your car. 

 

Anyway, this is going to be a bit of a short episode, actually, they’re all supposed to be short episodes, but I will be back.  I will always come back.

 

One thing that I feel that I have to shadow work on in my life is perfectionism.  The people around me, in my life, surely do not believe that I suffer from perfectionism, but I do.  It’s like I’m stuck in a giant finger trap, and there are already two fingers in there, that’s how much that I suffer from perfectionism.  So, how do I deal with that?  How do I deal with the crushing shadowy grip of perfectionism?  Well, that part is quite simple.  I just get out a small plate, and a glass, and I serve myself up with 3 lukewarm cookies and a tall glass of milk. 

 

Today’s Cookie is the delectable, the emotionally frightening, Keebler’s Keebler Fudge Dipped Duo.  This is a seemingly traditional chocolate chip cookie with a full layer of extra fudge underneath the cookie’s base.  Based on my research I saw that one online user criticized the Dipped Duo, saying that these cookies did not absorb milk, which I found to be flagrantly untrue. 

 

Now some people at this point whom are listening might be saying, “Will, this is all well and good, but what milk do I mix with this cookie?  What milk?  What milk do I mix with this cookie?”  And to you I say, “That is simply not for me to decide.  You, my friend, you, must look deep within, deep deep within, and reveal for yourself the appropriate milk choice – whether that be whole, or skim, or 2 percent.”

 

Thank you for listening, this has been the first episode of Cookies and Milk and Shadow Work.  I’m sure you’ve learned a lot, I know I have, and I’ll be back tomorrow with a new episode.

 

Alright, as the great philosopher Seneca once said, “Later on, my dudes.”
