The Doctor on: The Randomness of Being Me

One of my favorite things about life is its unpredictability. Sometimes life drags on like a penny western, where you can always tell whats going to happen, but you go through it anyway in the hopes that a new character might show up, or a really decent shootout will happen. But sometimes things start to happen. And they happen all at once. Soon things start moving so quickly that all you can do is find something to grab onto and hold on for dear life. These times, though, are the most fun you will ever have. You won't have time to sleep, and you will get run ragged by your commitments, but you will never feel more alive. Its kinda like football, actually. Things flying around, no ability to focus, you are miserable and you think you are going to die, but as soon as it is done you find yourself missing the days when you had such a purpose. Some people get addicted and start going out of their way to shake things up a little bit, but things usually don't work out so well for them; they get in over their head and rely on everyone around them to keep them afloat. For some of these people, though, they figure out just enough to know where the line is, and then waltz along it, somehow never quite getting too far to one side. These people are the ones who have the most fun in life; the people who are themselves, and who really don't care what other people think. It is hard to do, but shoot for it. Total chaos is bad, but so is total conformity. Stay aware!
