Life on the Run


Lately I have been running around like a mad man (very appropriate for me since I am quite insane) between several side jobs and my personal life. I have been quite exhausted and was sitting there this evening dreaming of some down time. I tend to do this to myself and schedule too many activities at the same time. Then I get exhausted and do nothing for a few weeks. This evening I was washing my hands when I noticed a small ant on the counter.

SQUISH... I smashed the ant into oblivion.

Then I started to think about what I just did... why would I kill a defenseless creature just because I was like 1000 times his size? What if we are small ants to some huge sentient life form out there that is 1000 times our size and we don't know it. In an instant I could be squished just like the ant. This is why it is important to live life to the fullest each day. You never know when the almighty gods would smash us just for the fun of it.

I know this has turned into another one of my rambling posts, but don't worry here is the cliff note version of what I was trying to say.

Live life to the fullest and I need to be more efficient regarding the scheduling of my time.
