Randomness In a Nut Shell

Do you ever have days where you wondered about the sheer randomness of it all?

Like today for instance. I had to sneeze. It came up quick.. no early warning. I had a cigarette lit, hanging off my lower lip and the sneeze particles covered the thing. My hand was not quick enough to save it. A random sneeze messing with a random smoke.

Random, that's our word of the day, boys and girls. Because life is so incredibly random. Everyday when you get out of bed you unwittingly spin that roulette wheel and whatever color, whatever number it happens to land on defines the random occurences throughout your day.

Randomness really keeps us moving. The random stranger who actually decides to give you a small smile while crossing the street or the person who actually has an umbrella and offers it to cover your wet head in a torrential downpour, those little things (insert any random example :here: you'd like) that make you go 'Yeah, the randomness of basic life is good, sometimes'.

Life really is pretty basic. You go to the bathroom, you eat, you move around...you love. It's those random moments, though, that add spice and energy.

So Dear Readers (all two of you, and you KNOW who you are) while you are out today, give a random smile, hold a random door open, help some random person with their groceries or across the street. Create your own randomness and maybe some of it will come back to you.

The Birdsect

This freak of nature is a frequent visitor to our backyard. Anyone have any ideas as to what it is??



















UPDATE: The birdsect actually has a name. It's called the Hummingbird Hawk Moth. A moth. That likes to come out in the daytime. Eats nectar. Doesn't eat clothes. And has feathers. A MOTH?! Somehow that just taints the whole mystery behind it.
