Another day, another dollar. I spent my afternoon apartment hunting. There is something exciting about a new place. A new beginning. It seems to be a theme in my life right now.
I have one of those books, okay, I have several... You know, the ones that inspired the movie "The Bucket List." 1,000 Places to see Before you Die. 2,001 Things to do Before you Die. Astonish Yourself! 101 Expirements in the Philosophy of Everyday Life. These are just the ones that grace my desk bookshelves. I sometimes wonder, do people write these books to inspire or do they write them in hopes that one day they'll be able to witness someone doing something idiotic because their book told them to. Maybe it's a mixture of both. There is a certain release in having the freedom to make an idiot of yourself... and enjoy it. I try to accomplish something from one of my many "Bucket List" books every day... at the very least, every week. There are some that I will never complete... I will never throw my panties at Tom Jones. Sad, I know. Today, I danced with glee. Completely uninhibited and free. It was lovely.
I leave you with this...
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like the fabulous yellow roman candles exploding."
Jack Kerouac
