sometimes you feel that you need to experiment with life and different things. that is one of my mottos this year. do things that are different. dance to no music. sing instead of speak. listen to out of the ordinary genres of music. read printed literature instead of computer mediated reading. order an iced solo grande sweetened with breve lite ice iced coffee con leche instead of a tall hazelnut mocha. this drink changed my world. almost like wearing a tie with a t-shirt. it seems so wrong, but feels so right. doing something out of the ordinary often feels so wrong, but is really right.
ordinary. what is that anyways? there is no such thing. we are all crazy and insane. let's not fool ourselves. some of us are even more crazy (such as those who order an I.S.G.S.B.L.I.I.C.C.L). ordinary is in the eye of the beholder. and ordinary is probably more beautiful than extraordinary. let's be honest, those who are extraordinary, are just a little too much extra. extra just seems superfluous. do we really need extra? i think of all the negative thoughts that come with extra. extra pounds, extra gum, extra baggage, etc. sometimes too much is too much. just be you. be ordinary. ordinarily you. again, ordinary does not exist. we are all so different there is no norm. don't buy into the system.
i have a friend that basically is the most insane person i have met (in other's eyes), however i told him that it is that him and i are the sane ones and everyone else in the world is intertwined in the insanity. embrace the sanity. try something new. and love it.
peaks out.
p.s. i thought an iced solo grande sweetened with breve lite ice iced coffee con leche was unique. the barista at starbucks said that she has another lady that orders the same thing. oh the irony. i mean the sanity.
