Dear Friends,
When I was little I used to love to color. I used to love getting coloring books and crayons. Crayola Crayons to be exact. Especially the box with 164 differant colors...you know...the one with the crayon sharpener on the back. I loved that box. The reason being is because I loved to have that many colors to choose from. You know...when I was coloring a dog...maybe I wanted to make his color red...or amber....or yellow-green....or green-yellow. The point was...I loved to mix it up. The differances between each color was amazing. If you drew something in blue...it would give it one kind of look. But, if you drew it in Navy Blue...it would be a completely differant looking picture. I relate this moment to life...and society. See it confuses me how life is. How society is. Or moreover, how they see things. "They" being the general consensis (sp?). See I look at life as one big coloring book...and when I meet someone...I am meeting a crayon. It could be a white crayon...a dark brown crayon...maybe even a off yellow. But, what's great about that crayon is that it adds a little something special to the Big Coloring Book. If it weren't there then maybe that picture would lose something. That is why I am confused. I don't understand why some people in life...want to color....with one crayon. Who wants a picture of a duck....that is colored in all white. To add color to a picture is to give it life...define it....make it more interesting. So why is it not the same in life. Who are these people that want to color the world a single color. How boring is that? I guess these are the same people that didn't get a Transformer Coloring Book to play with when they were kids. Maybe they should pick one up at the dollar store. Along with the BIG pack of crayons....the one with the sharpener in the back. Maybe they will open their minds a little....become interested in Burnt Orange...or Aquamarine....find that it brings a differant look to their one-color page. Maybe they will hang it on the fridge...
Just some thoughts from a guy who is real tired...right before bed.
