Get a Life!

The amazing thing about life is that it happens when you least expect it. You can be walking down an airport runway minding your own bee’s wax and BAM a bunch of bears with bees chasing them knock you over like a barrel full of retarded monkeys. It’s just that simple. So simple this life happening business is that it’s almost impossible to predict. At least that’s what the felt-tip pen told me. Then again, what does a felt-tip pen know that all of us don’t?
I digress.
I’m driving to work today and it suddenly hits me: Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans.
John Lennon was on to [or just on] something when he said that. We spend so much of our time planning for what’s next, that we forget to sit back and enjoy what’s happening right now. We all do it. Some of us more than others, but we all do do it. [I just wanted to say do do].
So how can we stop being so busy all the time and start not being busy all the time? I have no idea. You might want to ask the Mr. Know-it-all felt-tip pen.
I will say this though…shiny milk-fed kitty cats with “I love mom” tattoos.
That felt nice.

Well that’s all I’ve got for today.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.
