Either Way

Maybe the sun will shine today
The clouds will roll away
Maybe I won’t be so afraid
I will understand everything has its plan
Either way

Less Than Zero

A Youthful Indiscretion

I keep thinking as if the solution to my woes can be magically thought out. I continue to think because it's all I know. I haven't really changed from when I was a helpless six year old with a one word English vocabulary, waiting to get picked up by my tardy family. If someone asks you what you want to drink with your lunch, you say 'milk', they had thoughtfully taught me. And so I did. I answered milk to every question posed to me.

-Where do you live?
-Milk
-Is someone picking you up?
-Milk

My responses then made no more sense than do my present thoughts, but this is the only response I know. My state of mind demands a response so I keep thinking despite the obvious futility.

The Exception That Proves the Rule

Has the whole world gone insane or is it just I?

On ESPN tonight they were broadcasting the "Rock Paper Scissors" championships and the commentator was explaining how this really was a "sport" and replete with strategy, not just a game of random chance.

Then there was this guy who was well on his way to fulfilling his lifetime dream of surfing everyday for like 25 years. I don't think I've ever done anything everyday for 20+ years, other than pissing I guess.
