I Am Fine.
February 15, 2010
We are so strange, the human species. Or is it the human race? I really don’t know.
And I was born into this reality. This life. This existence. This crossroad of time.
And I love it.
And why not? I won the lottery. And in spite of the doom and gloom, I am fine.
Really.
OK. I have had credit cards cut off, I have fallen behind on my mortgage. I lost the use of my business credit card and my cell phone guy threatens to cut me off. But you know what the worst insult was?
I didn’t have one bottle of wine left in this house.
I am certain that if I had to board a boat to some deserted island for ten years, I would have to have thousands of cases of wine. Even if we had to throw the children overboard to do this, I would give the order. Lest you think I am heartless, I would think about those children everyday. Oh well, I’d say. And then I’d propose a toast to the unlucky offspring.
But the reason for blogging today is not for my own selfish purposes, no. It is for the gentle and pure spirit of it all. I think we are so far gone in our society that we forget how to laugh.
So, laugh.
