Every day I wake up at 7:20AM, after a long cold war with my alarm clock. I walk 2 miles to the shuttle to go to school every morning fairly often, attend my classes and return home the same route. Out of perhaps restlessness or delayed teenage rebellion, I "mess with" people I fail to respect. People who are just kept around because of well...the very fact they are amusing. It is not too hard to win my respect as I am pretty easily impressed and even respect and cherish those whom others would find just odd or quirky--because I'm also one of those oddballs whom people for whatever crazy reason, find amusing. I like to think of my social life as mobile clown car: you just never know what might pop out or what might happen.
Because I can be manipulative, deceitful and maybe not the best person on this planet...out of guilt and fear especially after I learned that there is reincarnation in Judaism--I've been trying to do a mitzvah or good deed every day so that I won't come back as a cockroach or in paradoxes of paradoxes: as a spider: one of the few things I'm deathly afraid of.
I sometimes wish I could just come back as a crow. They are lower than humans, and maybe I deserve to be one. They are territorial, intelligent, highly social and resourceful and like shiny objects. They are also quite opportunistic and risk their lives to pick up a half eaten taco in the middle of the road and flee seconds before a car runs over the take out box. I also saw a crow couple thoughtfully yank those husky things from palm trees and searchingly seek someplace to store them. What else could they be doing? Spring is around the corner--love is on their minds!
Well that is all that is on my mind!
