Some Days
Some days I question human behavior I question what we are doing here I question where I came from where mankind came from after I watch the news on tv after listening to people talking on there cell phones screaming at other human beings on the bus. But somehow I never give up. Somehow I just keep moving on. So I light another cigarette, and in that motion I become Buddha I become I God I become just another lost soul lost traveler moving through the process of life. Just another one of Darwin’s monkeys philosophizing why we all even bother anymore as somewhere aliens are watching from a spacecraft in the stars drinking beer & having a conversation about us saying
“Damn. When are all these monkeys going to be smart enough to free themselves from their own fucking cages?”

I need great conversationalists in my life. There is so much to learn from others, and not just about old memories, and heartbreak,etc. I am going to read your blog on my next two days free. I am never afraid of a new way to look at life or food for thought for better living, better loving, better me. I am really excited that I found your blog. Looks very interesting indeed!

Maybe this is what we all need to do. Sit around in groups over coffee and discuss what’s wrong with mankind. Right now there is too much ignorance in the world and far too much anger . Philosophy is one subject, direction and affirmation is another. My wife and I notice these things everyday. How people have changed, how society has changed. People acting like children without any manners or regard for other people’s beliefs or feelings. Something’s gotta change.
