Have I Really Been Wrong for the Last 26 Years???

I know what my brother is going to say, "Finally, he admits it!!!" But as I like to do so often I'm going to shatter his dreams and say, "No B, I'm never wrong. Except for when I am, then I admit I'm wrong and that makes me right." So I'm laying in my bed and I'm pondering about that good old phrase...no not that one, but often times three are better than two, Makes me wish I had a third hand...name that movie. But the phrase, "If it feels good, do it." Now, I guess this isn't something that most people have to think too intensely about. But if you know me at all, you know two things. The first thing is that I think too intensely about everything. The second thing is that I don't follow that rule. The reason why I don't follow it is that I've been programmed to think that there is a right way and a wrong way, a right thing to do and a wrong thing to do. Very rarely is there a gray, or grey (lack of a red squiggly line tells me that I spelled them correctly, gotta love those Brits), area. So now back to the quote. Is it that there is always a right ro a wrong? Or is it that there are only justifications, or as I like to call them excuses, about a decision that a person has made? Hmmm...I know kinda deep for 1:00 in the am, but that's what happens when I get to take a nape for three hours. Man, the Spanish know what they're doing, but I digress. I'm going to try something out this summer, and we'll see how it turns out at the end of the summer. I'm going to do what feels right and see what the results get me. I know that two of the three people that read my blogs are going to be like, "Yay, he's not going to overthink everything anymore!!!" And the third will be like, "I knew this guy was a dork." I mean there's got to be something to a phrase like that simply because I've never heard anyone who's lived like that complain about their awesome experiences. You can all relax, because I'm not going to start doing cocaine, heroine, or meth; but I'm just going to live a lot more and not be so concerned about the consequences. Because you only live once right...unless there's something to that reincarnation thing. In which case, I'd want to make sure that I enjoyed myself as a human. Because I don't want to live this life and come back as a cow. That just doesn't seem like you were winning the race of life. "Congratulations Kenny, you've lived a great life and helped thousands of people! We give you the privilege of coming back as a cow!!!" And the crowd goes wild...yay...Sorry if my Hindu and Buddhist friends are offended by this, but I'm just thinking out loud.

  1. I am a lot like you about over thinking everything and not "enjoying" life like others. I've tried to be more relaxed...but you know what? Enjoyment to one person might not mean the same thing for me. I'm just going to try to be me and be okay with that. Trying to change who I am is NOT enjoyable.

  2. I'm not saying I'm trying to change who I am, I'm just going to not try to consider all the results before doing something. Can one really be balanced thinking about all possible avenues and courses of actions without being impulsive?
