It’s been a long time since I’ve gotten so many verbal (or AIM) compliments on a blog entry. It’s also been a long time since I’ve gotten no actual comments on an entry itself. Write your thoughts down. Make me look good.
But I’ll move on. Today is a new day with troubles of it’s own. Although, I didn’t run into much trouble today. I had another pretty solid day. I felt a tiny bit down during Choir and Madrigals, but that’s normal. Besides, I really did hold up pretty well.
And more fun comes tonight. I’m writing now because I’ll be heading over to Andrew’s in a bit to hang w/ some guys, and maybe crash some cars into innonocent by-standers and/or other cars and/or buildings and see how many dollars of damage I can cause.
No mom, I’m not being literal.
But anyway. I’ve been thinking over the course of the day. Don’t hold your breath. It’s not that exciting. But anyway, I was thinking. Mostly I was thinking, “I hope lunch today is good,” but I was also thinking (some of the time) “Man I just…just…don’t know what to do about that.”
I know. Profound.
I’m not going to go any deeper into my meaning than that. So if you were hoping that by reading further you would find out more details, I would suggest reading this article about stupid rabbits instead.
But over the past couple days I’ve been really thinking hard about some things, and I think I need to adopt a bit more of a “no-worries” attitude. No, I’m not saying I’m going to start running red lights or selling drugs to policemen and not worry about the consequences. Rather, with some of those simpler things, you know, that don’t really matter that much – I’m gonna try to think of them more like exactly that: they don’t matter that much.
Now I’m not saying let’s all adopt a full stoic attitude towards everything. There are some things that are very important and deserve a lot of your attention and serious contemplation. But there are things that don’t. Don’t be afraid to laugh about those things if it doesn’t go the way you hoped.
A couple more things to discuss for tonight. First off, dogs. I really feel sorry for them. They’re stupid. Ok, actually it’s more of a bias. I just don’t really like dogs. But there’s something much deeper going on here. Dogs have no chance of making it big in life and living each day to its fullest potential. Why? Dogs are broke all their lives. You know why they have no money? No pockets. You know, they’re just walking down the street, and all the sudden they see some change on the sidewalk. What are they going to do?? All they can do is sit there and stare real long and hard at those quarters and dimes, and just wish that they could have ’em. If they work at it while they may be able to scrape a coin off the ground using their mouth, but then what? Where do they put the coin so they can get another one??? They can’t just spend the coin they have – inflation has made a single dime or quarter close to worthless by itself. Their only choice is to set the coin down again!! WHY MUST THEY LIVE THEIR LIVES LIKE THIS!?!? WON’T SOMEONE HELP THEM???
One more thing. If that one guy in the wedding is the “best man” why is the bride marrying the groom?? What does the word groom mean anyway? It sounds like someone you would just walk all over. Who’d wanna marry someone like that. Go for the best man!! It’s the logical choice! I’ve just never understood that.
Ok. That’s about enough for tonight. I felt myself getting on a serious streak with the last post and the first half of this one and I needed to switch things up. I’m probably sounding pretty silly right now though, so I’ll leave you a couple lucubrations and get out of your hair. (That’s right, I said two. Just because I like you so much.)
Lucubration of the Day: Instead of trying to build newer and bigger weapons of destruction, we should be thinking about getting more use out of the ones we already have.
Backup Lucubration of the Day: I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver. and since he is so busy, you’d probably have to run up to him real quick and give it to him.
Hmm…I think you need to stop blogging everyday just to blog. Wait until something good comes up…or something funny like when you tell someone that you would like to “kill” actresses in movies and you really mean “kiss.” Remember that one? Yeah, me too. Good times.
Ansen-
I see that you speak of a ‘no worries’ attitude, and the canine species in the same post. Even though you dont like dogs, I think that it’s ironic that you write of both with two different feelings, but could do well to join them and take a lesson from the dogs. From what you say, I sense that you would not like to be a dog. Of all animals, the dog seems to have the best ‘no worries, carefree attitude. And a life without the burden of money…That doesn’t sound so bad. Sure, they’re broke, but they dont need money. I envy them. Think about it- unless the dogs are being sarcastic when they wag their tails, they seem pretty darn happy with life.

whoa- i have no idea why my comment just appeared 4 times. sorry if it got your hopes up- but hey, now you got 5 comments instead of 2!
Wow. I really did get excited there for a moment.
I don’t like dogs…mostly just because I have caninophobia or whatever it would be.
As for them being content…perhaps you have a point. But this brings me to what we talked about in Great Ideas a couple days ago. Which is better?? To live a contented life without knowing the truth, or a tough and hard with the knowledge of what life is really all about? Think The Matrix. Do you live happily in the matrix world, or would you rather eat goop every day but know your world is real?
So the question becomes…red pill, or blue? Dog…or human?
