I'm finishing up work in a few hours, then headed home to some cold ones and a night of broccoli memes.

How about you?

If you listen closely while making plans, you can hear God laughing.

I don't really make firm plans anymore, it's more fun when you don't know where you're going or what you're doing anyway. I can make some predictions though. I will(already am) be high.

I've had a longstanding philosophy that no matter what you try and plan, it will never work accordingly. I know somebody who constantly gets upset with me because I don't have a plan for the weekend or a plan for the summer or an idea of what to do on a Tuesday night. I tell this person the same thing every time and they refuse to see the beauty in it.

I am more surprised by the world when I don't make plans, and typically these surprises remain just that: a nice surprise. But if I start channeling will power and try and bend the future to my will, almost always these surprises end up being a shock. A disappointment. A letdown.

Now, this is a very fine line to ride, because obviously it is in everyone's well-being to plan for the future. You can't hope to achieve anything above the poverty line if you don't set goals for yourself. But people who constantly set dates and plans and live their life by a calendar and stopwatch always come off as stiff and non-fluid. They have a hard time living life candidly. They tend to be more neurotic than others.

I don't like to even think about time, let alone its passing. I hate being reminded that this is all temporary and I do not want to keep a log book of dates and times counting down my last hours.
