Books may be dangerous after all...

I have learned in all of my reading that you should try to live your life so that you have no regrets and that there is no moment like the present. So when I found a dead bird in the 500 gallon water trough that my horses drink out of, instead of just getting the poor thing out, or even taking it out and then dumping the water and rinsing the trough. I spent a good 1.5 hours scrubbing the thing down with hydrogen peroxide and then rinsing it out and refilling it. During a thunder shower--the rain wasn't too heavy, the wind wasn't too strong, and the thunder was far away.

But the whole time I was out there it was just like, you know, if I were a normal person I wouldn't be doing this. Especially with a button-down shirt tied in a very odd manner so my right/scrubbing arm didn't have a sleeve getting in the way, but the rest of my torso was at least a little protected. I feel that people who are always worried about not looking too crazy are just missing out on so much in life. Like the absurdity that I daily live :P

Not too long ago I was asked to pick three words to describe who I am. I chose, Physical, Intelligent, and Absurd-Loving. I was asked to explain what I meant by the third, and the best I could do at the time was, "Life is absurd, and I love life." It was not the time, nor the place, to get into the fact that my life may possibly be more absurd than that of most other people--though I don't really believe that. I just believe that I think it is absurd because that is my word and my way of understanding it all.

Oh. And I did read a book today. Buddha Boy. It is a very nice, short, YA read. I read it once a while ago and since I've been reading things about meditation and such I decided to read it again. It is good, brings in some basic facts about Buddhism in general, but it is mostly another high school story... Dealing with all the drama and trying to learn right from wrong and figure out how you want to live your life...

And now it is time for some more reading!!
