If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray, thou shalt surely bring it back to him again. If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his burden, and wouldest forbear to help him, thou shalt surely help with him.
Exodus 23:4-5
A few weeks ago a got a new car. It's not actually off the lot, it's a 2000, it's just new to me....you get the point. When I bought it, it didn't come without a stereo. My car's dash has a big square hole on it big enough to fit a midget wrestler. Although... I could easily avoid the cosmetic disaster by simply keeping my eyes on the road, like I should. But then again, I am a fairly active commuter, I have a full time job to keep and full time college hours to keep a 2.0 GPA on. The road is just awful to listen to. I need more music in my life!! Or do I?... You see, I actually have the car's original stereo in my trunk. But I haven't made the time to arrange something up to see if it works. I haven't moved a thumb in that direction. Maybe it's because I like to have some highly intellectual alone time with my conscious. Or maybe that's the time I use to clear my head so that nothing is in mind at work and/or school. lol It probably has more to do with keeping an ear on whatever sounds my car makes. It these short few weeks, it has broken down twice on me... lol. Nevertheless, I love my car. :)
I'll assume you imagine my Focus with conditions not as pristine as this one... lol
Have you guys heard the saying "The only thing that changes is change?" For all of you who haven't, I am glad to be the one to show it to you. I mean, put some real thought into it. Everything is in a constant state of change, at all times, everything is always in a flux. Doesn't that mean that if everything changes, it becomes something else? That would only make sense if the change was large enough for humans to give a care about. So instead of changing the name of the thing in change, we give it an identity, and separate the variable "change" so that the identity is the one who "changes". Don't give an identity to anything. Change isn't a variable, it's part of the identity. Everything changes, everything is changing right now, as you read. You're not who you use to be about 3 seconds ago.
When I was a kid, I was very spoiled. My parents loved game rooms and places as such. So every special occasion our family would take us to Super Track or Chuck E. Cheese. I wasn't the kid who wanted to maximize their ticket collection by playing the games I was best at the most. I liked to play every single game multiple times. Even though I sucked at most of them, I had a blast experiencing new things and knowing my strengths and weaknesses. After I had ran out of tokens, I looked around the game room to give the "Nod of Affirmation" to all of the games/machines, my worthy opponents. Then, the cherry on top, I would cash in all I tickets earned and get me cute little toys that would magically disappear once I stepped out. Them were the days. :)
Well thanks for reading guys I hope you each find a lesson to be learned in each section. Don't hesitate to comment/rant/complain/argue/converse/debate about anything I've written. It's free. :)
