Why we do think of life like a washing machine, with everything we do being part of this cycle or that? We should view life as a line which is always changing direction and slope, sometimes circling about, but always going in an unpredictable manner. Life is a variable x. The minute we assign a constant value to it, we give up and resign ourselves to death. It's like an old song by Blind Melon called "Change" - "when you stop dreaming it's time to die." Life is spontaneity. Life is going to daybreak (coffee shop) to study and being disrupted by 20 highschool kids laughing at the next table, but you don't mind because you realize that's what life is all about. It's about going to some totally random place and seeing an old high school friend who goes to school on the East Coast and you have no idea why they're there, but you're happy to see them. Life is about waking up some spring morning and deciding to skip algebra so that you can sit underneath a tree and read Ginsberg instead. Life is a jazz cd at 2 a.m. Life is more than just a cereal. Living is what we're doing when we're not too busy dying - and those are really the only two choices. Life is hearing that song from when you were in junior high and laughing out loud with the world's biggest grin on your face because at that moment you realize that everything makes sense in some crazy way and it's all gonna be alright. Life is about writing checks for 99 cents at the gas station because you had a sudden urge to buy a slurpee. Life is about forgetting that you placed that slurpee on the top of your car and drove off...only to see it fly off in your rearview mirror. Life is all about the eternal yes and the ambient no.Life is a mischievous grin. Life is the spontaneous articulation of every thought you've ever had and ever will. Life doesn't make sense until you stop thinking about it. And then in some crazy way it's all really clear.Life is about two cups of coffee. It's all about two cups of coffee.
