Some People are Boring Sticks. Don't Be a Boring Stick.

Hey, guys.

I was just thinking and I came across this one thought that I thought you should know about.  You should never take yourself too seriously.  You've all heard about boring party poopers to be a "stick in the mud," yes?  Well, it's true, don't take everything so seriously.  I mean, if you take a perfectly awesome thing and make it all sad, dull, and boring to the point that it may as well just be some gray thing.  Not even an interesting gray thing, but a ridiculously boring gray thing, then you've got to be more than a stick in the mud.  Not "more than" as in, you're better than that, instead, it's something more like, you'd be more of a boring stick in the mud than just any old stick in the mud.

You wouldn't be an interesting stick with cool contours, nicks, and a cool breaking point from where you've separated from the tree.  Nope.  You'd be a very, very boring, straight standing, smooth stick.  There is nothing interesting about you.  The most you'd probably be good for is to act as a tool that, I think it was monkeys, if not chimps, or both, use to lift bits of tree bark or whatever to get at the bugs underneath.  That is, if you had a pointed or flat-ish tip.  If you're so boring that you can't even do that, wellllll then, you should probably learn to be more interesting, or there is no hope because your boringness is so darned boring that you'd never get out of your boring cyclone. 

Yes, boring cyclone.  Everywhere you go, instead of causing chaos and destruction, you will cause boringness to spread.  People would be like zombies...no, like robots.  Not those scary robots that would take over the world, either.  Just robots that do what they're told.  No artificial intelligence.  Just machines where you input information, and information comes out.  That is it.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, live life, guys.  Don't be all boring.  Make something of yourself and have some fun.  Cut loose.  Be you, do something different.  Colour your hair.  Do something crazy.  Make life something you want to remember, not something that is just droning on and on like a lecture on dead bacteria...do they do lectures on dead bacteria?  I don't know.  But if you like that stuff, then awesome!  Go enjoy that lecture on dead bacteria!

Make life what you want it to be.

Be what you are, don't care what other people say, and stay true.

And most of all, remember what Ms. Frizzle taught us as kids: "Take chances, make mistakes, and get messy!"

Peace out!
