That's right...a country song! HA!
There's some country songs out there that have just put things perfectly sometimes. And this weekend is really looking like Merle has me pegged.
Well I gotta get drunk
and I sure do dread it
cause I know just what Im gonna do
Gonna spend my money
calling everybody honey
and wind up singing the blues
I gotta get drunk
I just can't stay sober
there's a lot of good people in town
Who'd like to hear me holler
see me spend my dollars
And I wouldn't think of lettin' 'em down
There's a lot of doctors
that keep on telling me
I'd better start slowin' it down
But there's more old drunks
than there are old doctors
So I guess we'd better have another round
Well seriously sometimes you just want the weekend to be a little blurry. Hazy in the memory so to speak. Summer's almost over and around here we tend to go from summer heat to blizzard pretty damn quick. I'll be going stir crazy soon enough as they seal up the pass and lock us all down for winter.
Life is a balancing act. We have our dreams, our desires, and our beliefs...on the other side of that wire or fence is reality and comfort and what we know to be true. Some consider balancing yourself between what you know and what you want, to be an exceptional feat. Some thing that you have to choose which side you want because sooner or later, you'll lose your balance and at least if you know which side you want, you can fall in that direction.
The interesting thing is how much perception is a part of this balancing act. Paint a line on the ground and try to walk it. It's a bit like that wire or fence. Ignore the stripe and you accomplish that wire walk with little or no trouble. It's the perception of our height or our need to walk that wire that makes it so difficult. If we ignore the need to choose sides, it seems we could walk that line indefinitely.
