#10000 things

My brain at 3 AM:

Or was that all on me to find out...

Bc damn if my music library did just get songs from 10,000 Things added to it..

okay so warning that im gonna get more in depth here than i did when i initially talked about it in this post so yeah, basically its a thing u get when you work in corn fields. this is how it works:

-its iowa in the summer and its 1000000 degrees 

-you wear long pants, long sleeves, closed toed shoes, protective eyewear, and a hat with a veil around it because fun fact: corn, as in maize, is SHARP. it will literally cut you. 

-although this protection is enough to keep you from like, dying, when you walk through the corn enough the corn leaves slice you up anyways (like, through your clothes) because youre brushing against the plants so much 

-also youre sweating bc youre working 9 hour days outside in a corn field in iowa in july

-also the corn in shedding pollen because its the height of their breeding time so when you brush against the plants the male flowers on the top (tassels) rain down on you from above

-so the pollen and sweat go into the teeny tiny cuts and between the actual salt-in-wound effect of the sweat and the allergic reaction effect of the pollen, it makes a hell effect of something called corn rash

-corn rash itches. because of like, the allergic reaction thing, and the salt thing. so like. you have to. 

-when you itch it it peels away at the top layer of skin and also rubs more stuff into the wound

-DO NOT ITCH CORN RASH WHILE STILL IN THE FIELD THIS IS A BIIIIIG MISTAKE BIG MISTAKE BIG MISTAKE IVE LEARNED THIS

-its a BAD TIME and hurts for like. WEEKS while it heals, hurts more in the shower, hurts when you move, hurts when clothes rub against it, etc. bad time bad time baaaaddd time yall

-the things we do for the plants

-they cant help it theyre just living their lives

-thats what u get for disturbing their slumber

@musicmoviefangirl there is a handful of them. Some under the band and a few under just him. I've listened to them all bc 🤷
