As another day rises up from the ashes and my eyes open slightly showing that I am indeed still alive on this rock...one question runs rapid throughout my cranium as I lay here...
Why So Serious?
The infamous question made famous by The Joker but yeah...think about it. Why So Serious? Why must life be oh so serious at every living moment of the hour, day, week, month, and year? Now I'm not stating that life is all play and no worries; there are some moments that should be taken seriously but everyday though? Not really feeling that read...
Most people are all about getting shit done here and now; which isn't a wrong way to handle your business. However, when it gets to the point that this is all you think about there lies the dilemma. You become so wrapped up in your own shit that you ignore the other shit that's happening around you which leads to your life becoming...well in simple turns...shit. Everyone should be able to handle their own business on their own but don't get so over-consumed by this that you actually start missing moments in your life that you will indeed be sadden that you missed the opportunities to experience them.
Life is short; we've heard this before and I'm pretty sure it will be on a bulletin board somewhere as we walk to get a cup of Joe as we just so happen to look that direction. Back on subject...life is short. (see? Told You.) It's not always a total paradise with our feet in the sand as we look out towards the horizon in relaxation; some chapters involve some dark and gritty details that we would like to overlook but that helps makes us into who we are. Enjoy your life and by all means...ENJOY IT! None of us REALLY know what lies ahead of us when we all pass away from this place. No matter what religion or non-religion beliefs you believe in...we all at some point will be no more. It's scary to think about but that's a reason to live life as much as possible...at least for me it is.
Take in all the moments that life brings your way...the good, the bad, the despicable, the random, the take-downs, and the up-risers....all of them. Learn from them because in the end, all the experiences you've taken molds your life. Those experiences can help bring you towards better things and others (especially if you have offspring) can learn from you and what you have gone through and accomplished. You never know when you can be an inspirational upbringing to someone.
One of my favorite people that I enjoy watching and listening to is Mr. Philly Defranco (ironic since he Loves Yo Faces too.) on YouTube. Check out this video on his Top 10 Life Tips! They're funny and actually very thoughtful...but mostly funny.
The video and he alone is a prime example as to not being so serious...serious seriousness can kill you slowly from within. Let your mind and body go through changes, get a new haircut, go to China, eat that Triple Decker Cheeseburger with small salad on the side, go to Disneyland AND Disneyworld, ask the girl of your dreams out...and if she turns out to be a bitch...well at least you tried. Don't have the serious stick be so far up your behind that you just don't experience life the fullest degree in all of it's wackiness and good times.
But Yeah! Don't be so serious in this game called Life...because it's not a game like Super Mario World where you go in a straight line from world to world trying to save the "princess". It's more like Borderlands...you're in the massive open world filled with all sorts of experiences, missions, people, loot, and XP at your disposal.
Now go out there and have some fun.
And watch out for those Puppy Skags...nasty little fellas.
