contemplations

I'm currently contemplating...though not ready to let the contemplation out because it's still messy in there...life is too complicated sometimes...in the end it usually comes out broken and bruised but hopefully less messy than when it went in...I'm not even sure what that means.

To that end...here are some things you can contemplate while you wait...pictureless and pretty ugly...like most contemplations start out...

First...I stole this off of a friend's facebook post today...it made me laugh and that's always good for something:

‎5 PEARLS OF WISDOM TO REMEMBER

1. Money cannot buy happiness but it’s more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than it is on a bicycle. Good point...especially in 115 degrees (hey that's what my car said)...you can cry much more comfortably inside a vehicle...and a Mercedes...well I wouldn't know about that...


2. Forgive your enemy but remember the jerk's name. Useful...in case you have to testify against him in court perhaps?


3. Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again. Ah...so better not to help him so he'll leave you the heck alone?? Good policy.


4. Many people are alive only because it’s illegal to shoot them. Ah, yay...my facebook status of a while back...this is so true...especially if you live in my hood and are exceptionally noisy and...eh...it's for another day.


5. Alcohol does not solve any problem, but then neither does milk. What about osteoporosis?? But it's true...world peace will not be found at the bottom of a milk glass, but WWIII might be found at the bottom of a bottle of tequila..who knows.

Good times...one last thing to contemplate...you can think on the song I just listened to....here's some totally copyrighted lyrics...

we’ve all got our burdens/our secrets and our shames,/we’ve all been discouraged/and watched love fall in flames,/and when we hit the bottom/of all that we can bear/and we need you

you’re rising like the morning sun/a pillar in the night/you looked into the void/and called it light/you are faithfully providing/for the trouble that we share/when we need you you’ve always been there

blessed are the poor/all around the world/your children/living under war and oppression/to the man of sorrows/they whisper up their prayers/and when they need you

and how do we know/in the dark of the night/to call out for You, Lord,/to come with Your light?/we were born with you written on our hearts/and that we need you
