Proverbs are us

It has been a thought filled day.   In guess, in some respects, that could be a good or a bad thing.   When I left the house for the second time today, I came up behind a man on a motorcycle.  It didn't hurt that he was muscular and when he turned to the side, very attractive and older!   eijfod[e92329ka'

Sorry about that....had to clean the drool off my keyboard.

Okay, ANYWAY....it wasn't so much his biceps that induced a thought exercise this morning, it was his shirt.....which read

"Think Less

Live More

Feel Better"

Generally, I don't go to the t-shirt doctor for my proverbs, but something sort of resonated with.   ......Well, resonate may not be the correct word.   It was more a feeling that came along with it.   I was angry, annoyed, pissed, agitated, bothered, dissatisfied..... and another whole list of upset-like descriptors.....because there are simply no bad emotions, just douche-bags on motorcycles with clichéd-up t-shirts that make you want to.................................................................

You S-E-E, I was truly not angry, just disgusted with this sort of hucksterism in the form of magic-pill-chasing, ne'er do wells who wanna have a conversation about my weight, lack of personal happiness, and wealth.

I would say I simply do not give a fuck, but that sad state is that I do give a fuck and the fuck I give is for one simple reason.   There are those of us who simply do not walk around smiling so that you feel YOUR life has meaning.  The intrinsic value I hold for simply being me should not be trivialized or diminished for not being you with your Mary-Poppins-meets-Maria-Von-Trap self.   I do not want to have a tea party on the ceiling.   I do not want to frolic on a mountain top and learn to sing while wearing clothing made from drapery, no matter HOW expensive said drapery is.

You see, I am me...that is all.   I am happy when I look like someone poisoned my puppy.   I find humor in the nuances of life that may be macabre for some, but I still have joy. And while I may be nearing the one ton mark at break-neck speed...I simply do not have the time to indulge in a "think less" live more Herbal Essences orgasm because I'm too busy reading up on the issues that fucking effect me, like marriage equality, educational spending, religion and corruption (which seem to go hand-in-hand these days) and a plethora of other issues.  So, while you may choose to bury your head in the sand, I will keep reading and thinking and writing.  I will attend rallies and join with a chorus of voices that tell our oppressors, "We are mad as hell and we are gonna start kicking ass!".

However, for stress relief, I can go for a walk with my Ipod and listen to upbeat positive music, which I have much of...also I have a category called "sad" for when I need to cry (which will be covered in a much, much, much later/different post).   I can focus on the chakra and my family and my life and live fully knowing for the pain I sometimes endure in the form of really really dumb people.....my children's lives will be just a little bit better.

Quite honestly, I can live with that.
