"Philosophy 101 - life from the curb..."

I can FEEL myself just wanting to be a 'smart-a*s' today... and its really HARD to consciously ensure that how I respond to what I see is not like that. 

"Philosophy 101 - life from the curb..."

I guess we need reminding
of our silliness,
foibles, frailities,
insensitivities,
less-than-really-thought-out-or-smart
  actions and re-actions,
planned and unplanned stupidities...

often.

"But DAMN!" people...
sigh.

Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't, that's why I say DO!

HA! life 101.... from the curb indeed. Oh the lectures, pop quizzes and blue book tests NOT given in the ivory tower... but as a daily discourse upon the street, alleys and cobble stone paths outside. I'm in the sanctuary of the forest now, earning my pastoral doctorate, the hard way.... fun write Chris.

[Kenneth The Poet]

Rambling hilarity, and the truth is sprinkled throughout.

[Kat Collins]

Being a smart-a*s is always so much fun...tongue-in-cheek...wicked riffs upon the stupidity of humans. Some days...you just have to....

[Joiedevivre]

liked the way this panned out. A lot of originality to this poem and a large slice of philosophy. great.

That's life. Sometimes you just have to shake your head and I know quite a few people have shaken their heads at the dumb stuff I've done/

[Judy Ponceby]

Ha! Life is a giant bowl of vegetable soup! Who knows if you are going to get a turnip or a carrot! Excellent reflections, and seriously, I can SOOO relate to this. :)
