a night of death

florded.jpg

driving to bond: ambulance parked askew, lights flashing, neighboring apartment complex, craving a peanut butter cup.

bond: gritty, sobering, real [for a bond film]

driving from bond: hearse, headlights off, man in brisk overcoat, straight posture, neighboring apartment complex. i keep the conversation going, but really am wondering how life changes in a second.

I wonder how many people that realization hits at any given moment? Maybe The Force has a quota to meet.

the number of people who have a realization that life is short is exactly equal to the number of people who accidentally dial the wrong phone number. everytime you dial the wrong number, someone must realize death is inevitable.

i wonder how many people have that realization and ACTUALLY change. i know i'll still waste my night watching past recordings of The View.

Seldom are changes epiphanaic. Usually, a general and longlasting dissatisfaction forces one to change the "normal" or usual way of thinking and evaluating.
