There’s a Whole Lotta Reflecting Going on…

I know two people who admit they are reflecting over their lives so far (both wouldn’t call it that, but I could convince ‘em that’s the proper wording,) and five other people who are thinking about things rather deeply.

Too deeply for casual conversation.

I’d love to say I know what’s caused this introversion because I don’t know for sure…  Mostly since I’ve been in a reflective mood over the past two months, but I can make an educated guess.

Life sucks.  Things just suck.

It’s hard to buy a house, get a loan, afford groceries, go to the bar and drink more than twice a week, or even get a hooker every month like you used to.

When things suck, you have to find the worst parts of the suckiness and cut each sucky part the fuck free.

People are beginning to start cutting shit free.

Life could seriously be better — I mean, the free-for-all that was my bar last night was interesting, but not real fun.  I mean, people had a slight desperation about themselves.  It was rather pathetic, in a sad and lonely-in-a-crowd kinda way.

I define real fun, a.k.a. long-term-fun, as something you can live with a day, week, even month later.  And not shudder.  And not wonder (ominously) about the lasting effects of.

But a number of people I know are reviewing their lives over the past few years, thinking they could have been better, done better, made better choices…

Nothing political, nothing economical, all “what choices were made…?” kind of questions.

And I say “Good for ya.  Making the right choices now, after waiting, will suck, but I’ve been making hard decisions over past choices for the past six years.  Eat it.”

And then I remember good manners, and offer a napkin.  And a barf bag.  And a nice, clean, fluffy towel with a glass of water.

I mean, really, people.  Modern humans seem to have forgotten to listen to their individual, for lack of a better term, soul.  Listen to the part of oneself that says “heyheyheyHEY!!!!!1!HEY!!!1!”

When you have misgivings, pause and reflect.

When you wonder if something is alright, think about it.

When you fear something, think about why.

Don’t ignore yourself.  Listen, think, and respond according to those messages.

Gawd, I love ya all, well most of ya, but really!  Stop ignoring yourselves.  Stop it.

Pwease?

Have fun, readers.  Come girls need to be spank…

Oh, hell, that was last night’s ramble.

Have fun, readers.  Life just keeps on happening.  Deal with it, or die.  Them’s the final answers, try not to wait until you get to the final round.

Skåll!!!
