Huh?

Alright so my internet has been having issues for what seems like EVER!!! It just happens to be working at this moment so I thought I better take the chance to quickly write before it gets all screwed up again. So I went shopping with a friend today and I swear every time I go somewhere with this person something random seems to happen--something that just makes you want to say, "Huh?” Today, we were on our way home and I was in the middle of telling a story at a stop light when the car in front of us suddenly opened it's doors and the passengers ran around the car, switched drivers, and then drove off. After this sudden event we both realized I had stopped mid sentence for about two minutes just staring at what was going on in front of us and I had completely forgotten what I was talking about. Who knows? Haha. Anyways, it got me thinking about the numerous amounts of random things that happen in one's day that we don't even notice. If we paid attention to all the "out of the blue" sort of things that happen each and everyday, I think (at least for me) my life would consist of lot more humor and laughs. It just shows that when you really pay attention to your surroundings and take into consideration how ironic and comical life can be, it makes for a much more enjoyable day. So that is my new goal, to notice all the silly moments in my life that I would have usually over-looked.

“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.  Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.  Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”  ~Theodore Geisel
