Do You Ever Wonder Why?

       I have always been told by teachers growing up that there is no stupid question and my father has always said to me, “Smart people ask a lot of questions,” so I’m just going to run with it; hoping there is some validity to those statements. In my days here on earth I have always done just that, every person I converse with either mentions my strong ability to ask questions and challenge subjects or they get annoyed with the fact that this is in my nature and tell me to stop, or rudely tell me I ask a lot of stupid questions. I find myself constantly challenging people’s thoughts with my own subjective conclusions usually in my head (unless I know someone well), but the questions just seem to flow freely from my mouth; sometimes uncontrollably to anyone and everyone. Lately though I’ve been having a question eating at my brain; it is just now that I want to put it into words or at least try to explain my way of thinking on the subject. Although I’ve never been into philosophical ideas and as a matter of fact, I would almost rather get hit by a train than sit through a philosophy class, (metaphorically speaking of course); I am being biased when I write that I’ve been asking myself a significantly broad unanswerable question with a never ending absolutely unreachable answer. Every day, the question, “Do you ever wonder why?” warps my brain. I ask a lot of questions in my day to day conversations with people and the word, “why” has always been one of my favorite questions to use when responding to people’s actions or thoughts. If I can reach an acceptable answer to my question why, it allows me to understand and process the reasoning behind people’s actions, also how they think and in a more general sense, why things are the way they are. I don’t know if this is human nature but; every day I spend a lot of time racking my brain, asking this unanswerable question to myself. It’s feels as if I have so many unanswered questions about life, why it is the way it is and why different people do the things they do when given a circumstance. I have actually gotten myself into trouble asking this question too much and I don’t believe it’s that I’m trying to be nosy; I just really would like to know why? When asking why, the question is usually followed by an, “I don’t know,” or some meaningless non profound answer. The question seems so simple, but to me it’s one of the most complex questions we can ask. Am I just constantly questioning myself and other people? Or is everyone walking around asking themselves the same question? There must be answers to all of my why followed circumstances somewhere out there just waiting to be shared with me, but like I said I’ll let the philosophers do the unanswerable question asking  and hopefully I can make some of my own conclusions, someday anyways.

G is For Gina

    This year, I found a new friend. We always say that we are the same person in different bodies which is a true statement to me thus far. I met Gina at Fort Myers Beach through a mutual friend, whom we left by herself; while embarking on a mission to get free jet ski rides. I've always been called, "the wild child" by my parents and friends and unexpectedly I stumbled upon someone just as wild, if not more wild; to run with me. When it comes to girls I'm pretty selective because Ive been chewed up and spit out by so many girls who I thought I could trust. The more I get to know Gina; the more I realize I could leave my life in her hands, and come out with nothing less than a small band aid to show for our time spent with each other. Gina is my companion, friend and motivational guard when the going gets tough and the tough get going. I knew I could find a friend out of the 10% of normal people here in this town I like to call Heaven's waiting room, and I'm thankful I found the one who I know will always be able to keep up with me. We rep young money, and we know it. <3
