So, I'm sitting here, wondering about all of the possibilities the world seems to hold, and wondering why it always seems that the silver lining, fabled in so many stories, is always so far out of reach. Then I got to considering the possibilities of why that is. The first thing that I came up with is that fables are just that, fables. So, if the silver lining that follows suit with the fable, were nothing more than a fable, than that could explain why it is that I'm always hovering around a black cloud of perpetual darkness where "lucky" is concerned. Then, I got to thinking about all of those people that seem to catch the breaks. You know who I'm talking about. That one guy, or girl, (man or woman if you prefer) who always seem to be at the right place at the right time...and that led me to believe that perhaps the silver lining wasn't necessarily a fable, but something that belonged to karma. From that point, I started to wonder what I did to crank the karma-gods off so much... To shorten this little rant up, I'll be honest with you. I still don't know what, or where that thought was going, other than a simple realization. I'm a guy that somehow always seems to be two seconds too late to catch the good breaks, and I always seem to be struggling to keep my lips above water. My next thought was that I'm willing to bet that I'm not alone in that thought.
Flying Bathtub...it seemed like a good title to describe how my life seems to go on occasion. Obtuse, cumbersome, not easy to direct, falls with a thud...sometimes rolls for a while depending on how it lands. I can't say where this blog is going to end up going; it may be to some new philosophical plane of existence, it could be my rambling a lot. Well, ranting. But you get the picture. All I can say is that it'll be a bumpy ride, but perhaps we can have a few laughs along the way. I can't promise you the moon, because, let's face it, the moon is half smooth and half covered in pot-holes big enough to park a house in, and who wants something that defective anyways? But together, perhaps, if we're lucky, we'll find that silver lining...that fabled silver lining, and maybe, if we're really lucky, find the right place at the right time. Cheers!
