the joke is we all have the same punchline!

You know the joke of all jokes that basically introduced you to jokes as a kid? 

Why did the chicken cross the road?

I found out that the joke "why did the chicken cross the road" is a joke about people who walk into oncoming traffic to kill themselves. They are cowards. 
The person crossing the road is a coward (chicken)
Crossing the road is walking into oncoming cars (suicide)
And the punchline is a metaphor for death (to get to the other side)

So... what I gathered from it is... Did Jim Morrison write "Break On Through (to the Other Side)" as a super spin off of this joke? Haha jk. 

in reality and dreams.

“I regret that it takes a life to learn how to live.”

Over the last few months, I've been learning a whole lot about myself. I don't know if it's just that I'm at that age, or that I just got over a break up, or what, but I have been becoming more aware of myself and my likes, dislikes, habits, preferences, etc.

It seems silly. I think that because I live with myself for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, I would already know myself pretty well.

Here are some things that I have recently realized about myself and just some thoughts I have:

1. I have no idea what I want in life. Some days I am like, "I WANT TO GET MARRIED!" other days... "MARRIAGE IS PROBABLY THE WORST THING SINCE THE JR. BACON CHEESEBURGER GOT TAKEN OFF THE DOLLAR MENU AT WENDYS!" But when I really think about it, I think I like the idea of marriage... I don't really like what marriage has become in this day and age. There is also a good chance this is all my ignorance on marriage speaking here.

2. Sometimes the idea of me ending up "alone" doesn't bother me and send me into an anxiety attack. I would be completely fine with this, as long as I had a close group of supportive, caring friends and a steady job I enjoyed doing. 

3. I am grateful that I can really notice and appreciate "the little things" on a daily basis without having to remind myself or having someone else remind me. As cliche as it sounds, (and saying how cliche it sounds is cliche) the little things are really what matter. 

4.  I like blogging and am shocked I am blogging almost 2 years after I started... mainly because I suck at keeping up on things I start. I started blogging out of sheer boredom but I am happy that I did because it is a great way to document the things I'm thinking and doing (or wish I was doing). 

5. I pride myself on being a nice person. I can stand up for myself and be mean if I have to... but 99% of the day, if you talk to me or approach me, I will be super nice to you, regardless of the kind of day I am having. So I get highly offended when people don't treat me the same way back. I don't get offended if they are mean, I get offended because I KNOW I wouldn't treat them that way. Does that make sense? I am kind of crazy.

That is all for now.
