what now

I've got this acquaintence who always talks about "brooding" and while I'm pretty well aware of what that means, I decided to wiki it and see EXACTLY what it meant. It pulled up as AVIAN INCUBATION. I giggled a little bit, and then I laughed alot. We talk about being cranky and insightful over our thoughts, feelings, and emotions and being depressed, and for a mother bird it means that she is sitting, waiting in anticipation for her baby birds to hatch. Humans are so stupid sometimes. We use words to mean something that they are not supposed to mean at all just because someone somewhere thought it sounded good for their own purpose. Silly. So I will no longer be using the word 'brooding' when talking about over analyzing my life's station. I will be using the words 'being silly'. Because that's what it really is.

I went to my sister's graduation yesterday, and we were pretty far up and I shouldn't have been able to pick her outta the lineup. And then I did. One of the coolest things about being in my family is that each of us can kind of pick up on bloodline vibes. I can pick up the phone and call my mother, and nine times outta ten she says "I was just getting ready to call you". My dad will ask about something that I've been needing that I haven't asked for, or been trying to secretly do on my own. My mom and I can be in the car, and out of nowhere we both bring randomly bring up the same thing. Anyhow, right as I point and say, "There she is".... she turns and looks right at us and waves. She picked her 10 family members out of the thousands that were there. Pretty flippin' sweet. So the President of the college gives this quote from Yogi Bera "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." Interesting insight.

I'm done 'brooding' and I'm done standing at the proverbial multi-pronged fork in the road. I'm not sitting on any eggs, and I'm not gonna blame all of life on the fact that I just don't know what to do. Thanks for the fork life. I hate your guts. I'm going to eat them with this fork you just gave me with some salt and tabasco sauce.

P.S. My siblings are all grown up. My brother has gotta soul mate, my sister's moving outta state.... Golly wolly. What now.
