Timing

Today I've been thinking a bit about timing. Everyone knows the old cliche, "Timing in life is everything," but it really is very true. Sometimes timing is great and things work out like magic. Other times timing is poor and things can be quite tragic. I did not intend for those last two sentences to rhyme, but the fact that they do makes me want to use them as a launching point for a poem. But I won't. Anyway, as I think about timing I also think about intensity. From intensity my mind jumps toward intentions, and from there I begin to develop a theory that the times we have in life, good, bad and in between, are determined by these three criterion. Intensity and intentions are the concrete elements in the equation, as they are things that can be defined. You are either intensely passionate about something, or you are not, or you are indifferent about it. Similarly, you can have good intentions, bad intentions, or no intentions. One thing to consider, however, is just because intensity and intentions can be defined doesn't mean that they can always be chosen. Enter feelings. The sad thing about intensity and intentions, though, is that even though they make one sick ass tag team, they often fall victim to timing. Timing is a nasty bitch. Timing doesn't give a shit about your intensity or intentions. Timing is the wild card that makes life what it is. A chance.

Keira is sick and that is unfortunate. The fortunate thing is that she doesn't feel so terribly awful that she just lays around all day cranking and moaning. She's got a fever, nasty cough and weird poo. Hopefully she gets better quickly.

I went to work today for a few hours (to make up for my absence yesterday) and I was able to accomplish enough to ensure my peace of mind for the coming week.

Before work I went to Walmart. I don't enjoy Walmart, except for their low prices. After typing that I realize that it makes absolutely no sense. It's like saying, "You know, I'd really like the rainbow if it weren't for all that color."

For the past week or so I've felt pretty sane and I have really enjoyed it.
