I try to approach life with a sense of humor and I often find my wisdom is comedy, comic strips, and if I want to get philosophical, I turn to music. The other day I saw a Calvin & Hobbes comic strip that described what I have been going through perfectly. Calvin and Hobbes were sitting on a hillside having a philosophical discussion. Hobbes asked Calvin if he believed in God. Calvin answered an emphatic "Yes! Somebody is out to get me."
I have sat here and watched life from my living room window for the past six months. It is like watching 3-D television with no commercials. It has it all. It has nature shows- the squirrels and birds running around playing with each other; it has drama- the neighbors threatening to sue because their driveway is washing out and they are trying to figure out how to blame me; it has comedy- the three stooges that work construction on the property that can turn a lunch hour into a three hour event and building something that should take a day into a week long project; science- the construction crew used divining rods to find a mud puddle right in front of them; and it has sexy- my fifty something year old neighbor mowing her lawn buck ass naked. That episode had me wanting to stab my eyes out and swear off nudity and porn forever.
I have started back to work now and maybe that will help break up the humorous rut I find myself in. Maybe life will quit using me as a human target now that I am back to being a "productive" citizen again. I am going to miss watching life's TV through my living room window.
