introspectator

Sometimes I feel so self-conscious it's ridiculous. My friend sent me this cartoon that I thought was really clever-crazy-creative. But I just now realized how much I feel like the person in the cartoon. I'm always stepping back in perspective to see what's going on. After I do something, I step back and look at it. It's like being a soccer player scoring a goal, then stepping back to the person who made the assist, then stepping back to the crowd, the mom, the coach, then stepping back to outside the sports complext and wondering about the people watching, then stepping back to the city, and so on. Eventually you get to great questions about humanity and existance, which for a while make me feel really good because I'm pondering great things. But eventually I desire to kick the ball again and I'm not sure if I can get back there, or if anybody even knows what I'm talking about after all that. Then I fear that maybe the reason I even step out of the game is because I'm afraid, and then I step back to the crowd wondering why is that guy afraid, then I step back to humanity and get lost again. I'm a spiral. Here's the cartoon.

why I love the internet


This is a picutre of an outfit this lady created in order to keep the cow from being abducted. Part of the caption read, "You can't take what you can't see." So true. I stole the picture from this great web site. This is one of the funniest sites I have ever seen. This is what makes the internet so great.
