Everything goes up-and-down I suppose. Sometimes life is bright, sometimes it’s a fireball. Sometime it’s not.
And then also it’s good for me to let things go just as the sun sets. It’ll rise tomorrow and life will bring me something new. Maybe another fireball. Maybe not. Doesn’t matter, it’ll be good.
No, it’ll be better than good. It’ll be fucking fantastic. Because life is fantastic.
As Jimi used to tell me when I was miserable over Kathy way back when, “the best is yet to come.”
I used to say this, too, before I started biking the path frequently. It’s almost safer to risk being run down by a car than trying to dodge people, kids, strollers, and dogs on that path. Especially since Pokémon Go started. I almost got mowed down by…See More
My mom likes to remind me of this every so often, she sent it to me just a few minutes ago…
Six Flags in St Louis - the log ride. I had no idea you had been so terrified!
Terrified? We were only ten-stories in the air without seat belts, crash helmets, or even parachutes. Hell, I had learned to tie my shoes only moments before. But sure, let’s put seven year old Travis right up front where Evel Knievel usually sits.
I just read that cats are not that into bananas, because bananas don’t contain nutrients that cats need and so cats never evolved a taste for bananas… or, logically, banana cream pies. π€ππ
And there was that one time way back in high school when my best friend and I would sit in the round-a-bout in the middle of town. When cars would circle by we would wave “HI” at them.
And then when they’d wave back, we’d shout belligerently “NOT YOU.”
Some of you may have heard that story before. It’s one of those things I still feel legitimately bad about. I mean everybody has had somebody wave at them and then after the fact realized that they weren’t the ones actually being waved at.
That’s the worst right? Social embarrassment to the Nth degree. And even worse when this happens with complete strangers.
So these people in their cars would put themselves out there, go out on a limb, take a vulnerable chance, wave back at somebody they don’t know, and then my friend and I would crush their hopes and dreams. Like assholes.
Yeah, I’m gonna have to be a better person for the rest of my life to make up for that shit. π
