good, it's nice out, and it's raining

i awoke smiling as if under berries and willows. yet i still want to challenge everyone to be cynical. i felt a peace this morning that used to be reserved for 6th grade saturdays where bird chirps and cars splashing outside my window held me captive to by bed for all their beauty. but i remember yesterday i wanted everyone to expel all of their cynicisms on me. don't fear going on tangents. please go as deep as you like. or berate things on the surface. all cynics are welcome to comment. think of it as a challenge. think of it as a way to better perceive what it means to be cynical. what does it do and where does it get you.

also, i wanted to look up, at w-m.com, the meaning of the word episodes. i particularly like 1.b. i call the posts my situation and the narrative my life. or something. obviously 1.c. works too. and 2. plus who can resist it if it's new. plus you can process it all passively if you wish so there's no pressure. just entertainment

    ok, here's the definition of cynical. and i realize that that was not the word i want. i don't want people's thoughts on distrust of human nature exactly. more, tell me thoughts on normal misperceptions or thoughts on reasons for basic human action. not, exactly cynical, right? basically, it's wholly philosophical.

    oh, to have just one more 6th grade saturday - that sense of utter calm and enjoyment, of no obligations, of being safe. that was when your place in the big scheme of things was clearly defined, you know? no need to torture yourself with questions any bigger than what cartoons to watch that morning.

    i remember those weekend mornings, and i remember (vaguely) what it was like to wake up and not be confused, to not have your thoughts kick into high gear neuroticism as your to-do list compiled in your head. i remember what it was like to not feel guilty for doing nothing.

    yeah, those were the days.
