YOU KNOW I LIKE TO THINK OF MYSELF AS UNIQUE , ECCENTRIC AND A RUGGED INDIVIDUAL . ALWAYS MY OWN DRUMMER AND OFF ON MY OWN EXPEDITIONS..AS POORLY PLANNED AS THEY MAY BE AT TIMES. HONESTLY DISTILL IT ALL DOWN AND OUR HUMAN EXPERIENCES SHARE SO MANY PARALLELS. TRULY CRADDLE TO GRAVE, WOMB TO TOMB ( OH LIKE THAT ONE, IT'S MINE..I SAID IT )... WE EXPERIENCE THE ENTIRE GAMUT OF LIFE IN VARYING DEGREES. WE BASK IN THE RAYS OF LIFE'S JOYS AND BEAUTY.. AHHH THE PLEASURES AND ECSTASIES... WE SUFFER AND ENDURE THE TUMULTUOUS HARDSHIPS AND SORROWS ( THAT I DO NOT BELIEVE WE BRING ON OURSELVES, SOME OF IT IS PURELY RANDOM CHAOTIC MURPHEY'S LAW ,ARBITRARY FATE )... SOMETIMES WE ARE IN THAT HARMONIC FREQUENCY, AN EQUILIBRIUM, HOMEOSTASIS, BALANCE..AS I HAVE EXPRESSED TO FRIENDS.. MY ENTIRE YIN YANG PASSION. I AM AS LOST AND FOUND AS THE NEXT PERSON. TRYING TO FILL THIS MORTAL COIL ON THIS FERTILE ORB WITH AS MUCH HAPPINESS AS POSSIBLE. OH I AM A POLLYANNA WITH ROSE COLORED LENSES ( USUALLY).. WE ALL HAVE OUR QUIET COLD DARKER MOMENTS IN THE DANK DOLDRUMS. I OFTEN WONDER WHY HEROICS FASCINATE ME SO... SEEING SPIRIT OVERCOME ADVERSITY IS SO INSPIRING. MY HEROES LIKE MY MOM ( SURVIVING CANCER ) , MY DAD ( ON DIALYSIS AND STAYING POSITIVE ), LANCE ARMSTRONG ( IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BIKE, MY JOURNEY BACK TO LIFE), CHRISTOPHER REEVES AND HIS WIFE DANA ( SUCH HARDSHIPS )... HEY WE FORGET HOW PRECIOUS THIS GIFT WE HAVE IS..WE SQUANDER IT WITH PATHETIC SELF PITTY ( I DO ANYWAY )... FUCK ! IT'S A STRUGGLE BUT WE MUDDLE THROUGH IT...FUNNY I ONCE DID A PAPER ON SHOPENHOUER ( SP. ) VS. HEDONISM... MUST HAVE HAD A MOMENT.. BECAUSE I FIGURED TO ERR ON THE SIDE OF JOY..COME ON. AS IN MY FAV PIECE OF PROVERBIAL POETRY DESIDERATA...WITH ALL IT'S SHAM, DRUDGERY AND BROKEN DREAMS, IT IS STILL A BEAUTIFUL WORLD. BE CHEERFUL. STRIVE TO BE HAPPY. ... HEY WHY NOT. OK...TRYING TO MOTIVATE MYSELF TO ACTUALLY MOVE HERE.. SEE I NEED ENCOURAGEMENT. PEACE
