The Thing About LIfe Is...

...well, we all know it's a bitch, but I say it's a great experience. You know why? I'm not quite sure, because to be perfectly frank, I tend to tell myself life is great when things get a bit stressful, but that doesn't mean it's true. I mean, just because someone tells you it's raining doesn't mean they're not pissing on your foot now does it?? Generally I believe that life IS good even when I'm standing in a figurative pile 'o crap (cheers to the Irish), but how life is is awfully relative isn't it? For instance, I may be walking down the street in a state of total enjoyment of the sunny day that the universe has created, while another person is walking down the same street, maybe even crossing my path, cursing God and the heavens because he's been living on the streets for years and his skin is burnt to a crisp. All he wants is some damn shade. "Will this god damn sun ever stop torturing me", is screaming from his very core as he searches for shelter. I smile, he burns. Who is "right" in the way they feel? Nobody and everyone, that's who. See? Feelings and experiences are completely relative by nature. As they say, one man's trash is another man's gold. Ain't nuffin but the troof, yo....idiots. Ain't nothing but the truth.

Life is one big mess of people, all looking for personal happiness. Unfortunately, we each go about our quest for happiness in different ways, and rarely care about others along the way as much as we should. "Screw him/her" is an all too commonly uttered phrase I hear these days. It's like we all think there is a limited amount of happiness and positive energy to go around and when someone else has too much of it we become bitter. And yes, I have felt that way myself, far too often, but that doesn't make it right. Dammit people, can't we all just get along (queue fake tears)? Where is the love? Hmm, any other motown phrases you can suggest are welcome. On a more serious note, I have nothing more serious to say. Peace out to all my brethren across the world. May I be lucky enough to see you soon. Vaya con dios mis amigos.

Ps. I almost forgot to post a laugh-inducing clip for y'all. Nothing like Jean Claude Van Dam (he's gay) getting a woody on national TV. Here you go:
