Today put me in a positive mood. First, i find out that Total Recall is on TV Saturday night. 9th viewing!!
Secondly, when i arrived at the train station this morning, i walked out of the car, onto the platform and then on the train, into one of the single-seats (where nobody can sit next to you) all without breaking stride or having to push around people. Nice.
Then, i arrive at school to be given some good news, so good in fact, that i didn't mind that i had to sacrifice $4 of my lunch-money to pay the late fee for the school jumpers.
When i am happy and excited, i act like i have ADHD, which i assume is very annoying (sorry to the people i hugged in the corridor...) but i don't care, because i am happy. The only thing that ruined my mood was specialist maths and perhaps the fact that...
...I am notoriously bad at making decisions, big or small. Any decision, from what i order at the local fast food restaurant through to whether or not i should push the button that will blow up the boat of criminals before midnight hence saving the the lives of myself and the people on my boat yet making me live with the fact that i caused the death of 200 people. More often than not, my actions are decided upon the toss of a coin, literally.
So, i'm in a bit of a pickle it would seem, as some time soon i have to choose between; Dreams, Adventure or the Logical.
The dreams won't come true, but dreams like siblings with those foam noodles that people have in their pools. If you think about grabbing them, they're just going to hit you over the head until you go limp.
The adventure could be exciting and/or fulfilling, i mean, who doesn't like a little bit of adventure? I for one love adventures. However, the problem with adventure is, i calculate a 90% probability of 'crash and burn' within moments of take-off, especially if careful safety preparations are neglected. ADVENTURE SOUNDS A LOT LIKE QANTAS, LOL LOL.
The Logical just, makes sense. Even more than that, it makes perfect sense, everything fits.
A wise sailor once told me however, that humans are a strange species, always reaching for the sky, even though it will never be as blue as the sea.
Of course, he was a sailor... Perhaps i should ask a wise pilot of his opinion also, for fairness' sake.
Can someone lend me a 3-sided coin please?
