or epic-ness (is that a word?) reason for my inquiry: there's been a lot of talk outta this here lads mouth recently bout things or events or institutions or art or ventures or people or farts or sporting or whatevers being epic & in our innocent youth we throw words round like hot pink Frisbees on warm afternoons-(granted we have no idea yet-)the ones with the mini-cone shaped hole in the middle-where you can catch it on your finger-but whence your latter-20's or so start arriving- yee tend to put things into perspective, or choose words a tad bit more wisely-because you know what they say? "with blah comes blah-blah" or "the blah you get the blah-blah-blah"- & it's all a bunch of nonsensical bollocks at some point,.....
(I mean who out there decided this magical age of transformation? of adulthood? Question, what is "adulthood"? because I know, or have known a lot of "adults" who act in a way that is reminiscent of a young, petulant child-who sets the standard?)
....which is OK, (the part about the bollocks) because aren't most of life's little challenges simply games in the end? do we not play little games our entire life & just keep score with money? but back on top-age & commitments creep in & how do we ring these events in? as americans, or humans for that matter? we do EPIC things! like travel & spend shite-loads of money-& we go out on the piss-& we snap photos& we sing & fart out gas-&then when it's over we say "aahh man, that was EPIC!" which I love that, I mean what else is there really to do except strive for new & different experiences & try to enjoy what's given to us & please ourselves( i know, I need to take my own advice on this)-(i wish i was created for a life of service, but it's just not in me) but,.........I get so, I mean we-get so caught up in so many different things & I truly believe that's how life screws you a little in the end-that's where life is having a laugh sitting up in the clouds looking down on us,..seriously- we have a lot going on right now even if you're unemployed or sick or needing- or poor or rich-just because we are alive in these times, we're busy- we are all caught up in it- we are all affected.don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking technology or progress or comps or cars or infrastructures or pensions or retirements or home buying or mowing your lawn or traffic or taxes or having kids or pissing out your back door or-but how many can raise a hand-(fisted) & say Yes!! Chula! I,...I've lived the life I want to live--EXACTLY-I walk by my own volition every single second of every single day- I answer to no one! never have, never will.there's no way anyone I know can say that-that's the struggle of life--the idea of this give & take-back & forth model-you gotta give out to get---you gotta spend to make--you gotta sleep to run--you gotta fart--to eat,.....BUT! that's why we use the word EPIC so much-we have to do these EPIC things to get through it all-being EPIC, or acting EPIC is life's ultimate piss-take-that's how we can get back at that little knob head sitting in the clouds snickering at us when we're deciding on Insurance policies or looking to buy a home or checking the stocks-it's relief from all the structure we have in our lives---especially the unnatural structure--
We are all socialized in the classical sense, which is necessary, I know, but to truly have EPIC moments that we can release ourselves in, or create memories with, or laugh at, or talk about a week later is really our only hope of getting through another meeting of death by power point, or class, or an episode of The Real World Cancun, or that EPIC fight you had with your loved one & everything else that takes away from our natural state of being. Life gets in the way of our plans, it takes hold of us & pushes our desires by the wayside-if we can truly at least try to be EPIC or have EPIC moments in life by following the definition of EPIC- i believe most people would live life more fulfilled or at least cut down on the Prozac consumption:
noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style
did you read that!? it had the words "poetic" & "Hero" in it-can you imagine a life like that? better yet, a month or a day of even one single night out? I hope my life, when it's over looks something like a "composition". i hope you have an EPIC time soon.
