Fish out of water? Hells yeah!
So – a post not about entertainment media for once. In the somewhat introspective (or lately, negative) mood I’m in typically on the way home from work on the bus – somehow today about mid-ride, my mood took a sudden upturn.
I’m sure this is no news to anyone who has been around me for > 5 minutes, but I have long been a ‘fish out of water’ – most days I either don’t feel connected to most normal people’s daily experience – and on the rest of the days I sometimes alienate them on purpose, ‘just because’. This isn’t a new phenomenon, it’s always pretty much been there since the precocious youth – ask around. I usually draw on the philosophies of Keith Moon with a liberal helping of Patrick McGoohan melted on top. This served alongside being a huge nerd, fan of Sticking It To The Man, and green things.
But today I realized – ‘WHO CARES!’ Does this mean I will be any less of ‘a pill’ (words of a famous local philosopher) – probably not. Does it mean I still can’t wait to leave ‘Maggie’s Farm’ – nope, that’s top priority. But it MAY mean I don’t have to wait for things to come to me anymore. Not sure why I thought that for so long, but hopefully I am beginning to leave that behind – time will tell.
Anyway, if that’s not enigmatic enough for you, i’m sure i’ll think of something better in the coming months – stay tuned 🙂
