You know, life is quite strange. I know, I know - ‘of course it is‘.
But I REALLY have been thinking about it. Twisting my brain around hopelessly looking for something real and concrete to come out of it to explain life. Some sort of grand unifying theory to really make everything I experience make sense.
I mean, it’s usually hard to justify being laissez-faire in your life. For instance, Pat decided a year ago that he was headed to Australia for a while. No specific reason, he just wanted to do it. Was talking to him on MSN and he’s having a fantastic time.
At first I thought it was a odd idea. But now, I really respect what he’s done. One of the few people I know that have had the guts just to cut loose and say ‘this is something I should be doing’. I certainly haven’t the minerals to do so yet.
And recently, my father died his hair green. LIME green. I didn’t understand that either for a minute, but his reasoning explained it all - ‘Why not?’. And you know what? He’s right, why not indeed?
I think I’m slowly beginning to realize that we all should be doing more ‘why not’ as much as we can, but by the time that some people REALLY figure that out in their lives it’s too late. I’m sure most never get it. I certainly haven’t decided if I believe my own ranting yet - still on the fence. Hopefully with all this evidence around me I’ll come around soon.
Then again, I’m pretty much off my rocker and babbling nonsense most of the time anyway. You should probably ignore what I’m saying 99% of the time. Especially now.
