Hold on to your butts...it's going to be a bumpy ride!

Life....it is a journey.  We all try to prepare for it the best way we can. I mean let's face it...we come into the world naked and helpless.  We look to our elders for advice and support and try to mold ourselves into who society expects us to be.  I think that may be the reason that we are so quick to judge others who are not like ourselves. They simply chose a different model from which to mold by.  We are all on this spinning orb together, trying to make the most of it.  We are all basically one choice away from being that guy at the bus stop that argues with a spot on the sidewalk in a language all his own.  Maybe in his world he is completely normal, and in turn, we are the odd ones that lack the sidewalk friend.  I am somewhere in the middle.  I am sure that my eccentric nature could be considerably improved with proper medication, but would that make me less interesting?  Of course it would.  I have dated enough of the so-called "normal" people in this world to know that "normal" is overrated.  Give me the guy that can find humor in everyday life and I will show you a man suited to never judge you as you stand naked brushing your teeth in his bathroom at 6am.  Laugh while you can..it can lower blood pressure and make you live longer.  I doubt that any of us will post on our tombstone, "Hey I wish I had been more cynical"...I would prefer that mine say something like.."I told you I was sick".  I want my funeral to be more of a recap of the crazy things that I did while I was alive.  I want people to stand around talking about memories of days past and ways that I made them laugh.  That is my goal, my purpose.  I may not leave behind an attractive corpse.  But I will be remembered as someone that people enjoyed having around.
