“If you end up with a boring miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest, or some guy on television telling you how to do your shit, then you deserve it.”
Frank Zappa
“The head of a company survived 9/11 because
His son started kindergarten.Another fellow was alive because it was
His turn to bring donuts.One woman was late because her
Alarm clock didn’t go off in time.One was late because of being stuck on the NJ Turnpike
Because of an auto accident.One of them
Missed his bus.One spilled food on her clothes and had to take
Time to change.One’s
Car wouldn’t start.One couldn’t
Get a taxi.The one that struck me was the man
Who put on a new pair of shoes that morning,
Took the various means to get to work but before.
He got there, he developed a blister on his foot.
He stopped at a drugstore to buy a Band-Aid.
That is why he is alive today..Now when I am
Stuck in traffic,
Miss an elevator,
Turn back to answer a ringing telephone…
All the little things that annoy me,
I think to myself,This is exactly where
”
I’m meant to be
At this very moment
