So I'm stuck in lab in the moment. It is mainly due to my naive foolishness. I should have paid more attention when the instructor said that not going to this lab would count as an absence. So here I am sharing my thoughts. I don’t share my thoughts that often to be honest. I just feel that if I share too much I’ll be taken advantage of. In my defense, I’m going off of experience. I have known so many people over the years who have taken advantage that it just astounds me. As my mind wanders over the years of my life I think back on all the friends, lovers, and acquaintances that I have either lost, have or getting to know. Life is just like that sometimes, you think you know where it’s headed then all of a sudden you realize, “Crap! Rapid waters ahead!” or “Waterfall!!” and then life gives you a run for your money.
Right now in my life the water is getting choppy, is there rapids ahead followed by a waterfall or is it just a mild disturbance. My mind tells me danger ahead turn around. However, in life you can’t just turn the boat around. It’s a one way trip leading all the way to that final waterfall. The one where we all have to take that plunge. So the question I pose is how do you want the ride to be? Sometimes you can’t control the severity of the ride but you can control whether you’re going to enjoy it or not. You could be scared and afraid of what’s ahead but in the end you’re going to stay on the ride until that final waterfall so why worry about it?. So why am I thinking this now? To be honest I don’t really know. I’m stuck in this lab for about 3 hours and 35 minutes which means I probably won’t get a nap today before work at 445. Which is unfortunate, to say the least.
I have always had a big imagination and it tends to come into my mind more often these days. The idea that a man can break the mortal coils that bound him and do the impossible just fascinates me. Of course I’m not the only one. Where would superheroes be without men who have the imagination that is not bound or constrained? Life without heroes would be dismal and a horrible place. For those who know me, you know I have an imagination and one of my favorite things is superpowers. Anything involving superpowers gets my interest. Now of course I pay attention to the story line and everything but I see someone throwing cars or moving things with their mind and you got my attention. Well that’s all I want to say for now. Maybe I’ll edit my post later but for now I’m going to sneak watching some YouTube videos.
But before I go, A few quotes about life.
