Uncramming the Mind Part 2

OK,

It's been a few hours since I wrote Part 1, and between driving for a while and sitting with some friends and my friend's son. That was a blast. Kids are lucky... such freedom.

Freedom. The obvious theory and practicality of the word is simple. The reality of it is that depending on where you live, freedom as a literal term is a bit more fluid. Living in the US, you have the luxury of being born free. The freedom to be what you want as long as you're willing to work at it and make your future for yourself.

We all live around lives based on rules, whether it's laws, morality, gravity, common sense, etc... We all make choices. Some make them and don't look back. Others obsess about what they think they should do and end up second guessing what they think is the "right" answer. Sometimes our choices gome with a high price.
I found myself looking back on a choice I made, or more accurately a choice I chose NOT to make. I consulted with a good friend of mine who was involved unknowingly in the decision.
I tried my hand at taking my advice and saying what was on my mind and not feeling guilty about it. I confessed what I had chose to do all those years ago and while I was a bit embarrased and felt a bit akward, but it was out there and I didn't die. Oddly enough, things were exactly what I had thought.

As I'm driving home tonight a song came on the radio ( XM ) and I almost had to pull over. It was like I had my brain tapped. I was soo entranced with the song, I didn't even check to see who it was. I just know it was a female singing and her voice was addictive. Song was about a person's infatuation for someone they didn't even know. Not even a clue of that person's name, age, etc... you get the picture. It felt so honest and raw. I was moved.

Wiat....where's all this going?

I'm not sure... I started typing and here I am. Talk about going off on a tangent......

Oh well. I need to sleep. I need to find out what my brain is trying to do to me. I think it wants me to go insane, becuase it's not making any sense and can't seem to get it in its "head" that what it says isn't helping...
