Life is Crazy

Yes. Life is crazy. Not sometimes, but all the time.
Think about it. How many things in our daily lives don't make sense? How many times do we do things that don't need to be done? How often do we stop and think, "that was ridiculous."?
Women brush their hair. Hair is just dead cells protruding from the skull. Yet, women take great care of it and spend hours on it each day to make it look just right.
Each night, we pass out for 6-10 hours and stay completely unconscious. If we aren't unconscious the whole time, we become irritable and upset. And yet, the moment someone loses consciousness during daytime, they're rushed immediately to the hospital.
We spend so much time and energy, practically our entire lives, trying to be successful, only to lose it all when we die.

And these are just things that all humans do. Then there are things that we do ourselves that we find ridiculous. Today, I saw my dad for the first time after months away at college, and now I'm sitting in my bedroom typing blog posts instead of spending time with him. It seems dumb.
You're making breakfast in the morning, and instead of putting your bread in the toaster, you stick it in the blender. Five minutes later, you're running out the door, and you can't find your toast. That's when you realize your idiotic mistake.
I spend months planning and getting ready for something, like a party, or a presentation, or a road trip, only to find myself too exhausted when the day actually comes to properly enjoy or host what it is I'm supposed to be doing.

Life is crazy. Life is weird. Life is one big jumbled mess. This blog is simply my way of explaining that to the world. Once you realize life is crazy, you can deal with it and move on. If you're already at that point, you can laugh at it. If you're not, read on.

  1. The one I don't get is why we seed, fertilize, weed and water our grass only to cut it every week?
