Some things in life, simply don\u2019t make sense.\u00a0 Not one little bit, I’ll tell you.<\/p>\n

Peter Piper\u2026 the dude who picked a peck of pickled peppers. \u0001 And then he did it again\u2026 picked a peck.\u00a0 What the heck, Peter\u2026 YOU are a Piper.\u00a0 Not a Picker.\u00a0 That is why no one, in the end\u2026 knows where the peck of\u00a0 pickled peppers that YOU picked, went to.<\/p>\n

Same thing with the dang Wood Chuck.\u00a0 What do they mean\u2026.. IF a Wood Chuck could chuck wood.\u00a0 Of course he can\u2026 HENCE the NAME.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 He\u2019s a dang Wood Chuck.\u00a0 Unlike goofy Peter\u2026 who is NOT piping anything… at this point.<\/p>\n

And how about the Emperor\u2026 and his new clothes.\u00a0 C\u2019mon Dude. You are SO NAKERS.\u00a0 And you won\u2019t even admit it in the end.\u00a0 Here\u2019s the thing though\u2026 that little kid in the crowd\u2026 that yelled\u2026 \u201cThe DUDE is NAKERS!\u201d\u00a0 Well\u2026. neither the kid, nor his family, were ever heard from again.<\/p>\n

NO sense at all.<\/p>\n

Or.\u00a0 When you can eat and eat and eat.\u00a0 And someone says\u2026\u201dYou must have a hollow left leg!\u201d\u00a0 Why left?\u00a0 WHY always the LEFT Leg.\u00a0 It just doesn\u2019t add up to me.<\/p>\n

Finally, those Crazy Disco Nights\u2026.\u00a0 spending hours and hours\u2026 until the wee hours of the morning\u2026 dancing the night away like helium-headed-fools.\u00a0 It seemed fun then.\u00a0 Now\u2026 I wouldn\u2019t last past 9 p.m\u2026. which by the way.. was TWO HOURS early for showing up at the Disco, back in the day.<\/p>\n

But here and now\u2026 I much prefer the more grounded,\u00a0 even-keeled all-of-US-generation.\u00a0 It just seems like we care more about doing the right thing\u2026 instead of doing what we please.\u00a0 As K.C. and the Sunshine Band so aptly put it\u2026 \u201cThat\u2019s the way I like it.\u00a0 Uh-huh.\u201d<\/p>\n

Besides that\u2026 just getting out of bed in the morning at this point in my life\u2026 wellllll … … I quote Gloria Gaynor every time my feet hit the floor\u2026.\u00a0 “I will survive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.<\/strong><\/em>
