readers. hey.
you know what i noticed? there are two kinds of people in this world. there's the kind that are ALWAYS sick. like.. at least once a month you see them and they have huge bags under their eyes, that mopey walk, that apathetic outlook on the universe.. you know who i'm talking about. they're your friends.. but you want to say away from them. they may be sick all the time, but it never seems to last for long. it's like their immune systems are sleeping, then they get sick.. get thrown into overdrive.. and then by the end of the sickness, they're tired and go to sleep until the body gets sick again. it's a terrible cycle.
then, on the other side of the fence, are the people who are NEVER sick. they can go months, even years without showing a single symptom for anything. they have some magic gene that will keep them from all aliments. but when these people get sick.. they take it hard. they're out of comission for weeks, and even when they do get 'better'.. a part of them was lost in battle.
and with this.. i realized something. there is no intermediate anymore. it's either 'all or nothing', 'this or that', 'me or him'.. you get the drift. the world has taken out all the wiggle room from all decisions. there's no room to just.. learn and grow.
politics. red or blue. sure.. there is the option of green.. and there is supposed to be some sort of 'yellow' or moderate party.. but not really. when it comes down to the line.. you are red or you are blue. what if i'm a gun slingin', home bred, tobacco spittin' gal who just happens to be pro-choice? what if i'm a tree hugging, peace loving vegan who thinks darwin was a hack and is a big believer in intelligent design? who do i vote for then? there is no in-between.
throwing up. there are no people who throw up 'every once in a while'. no. you either throw up all the time, or never.
diets. there are those people who are always on one form of a diet or another. atkins, nutrasysem, you name it.. they've done it. and then there are people who have never been on a diet.. and never will be on one. you're never 'sometimes' on a diet.
open or closed. black or white. in or out. wet or dry. cat or dog. star wars or startrek. you name it.. i've thought about it today.
there is no intermediate. there is no in-between. so let's stop pretending there is such a thing. i know.. it's a terrible loss. but let's get over it and go to free pancake day together tomorrow.
bye! sorry this was boring.
