Odd Thoughts.

What is it with the world? I mean, you can think that everything's finally settled down, all where it should be..until the temporal hurricane of well..time...strikes, and all of a sudden all your skull-stuffing is every which way while you try to sort it out.1

    I just realized the other day that I was fifteen. I've been so ever since the fifteenth of May, but I only truly realized it a few days ago. How do I explain that? I have no idea. Perhaps no one else has problems like it, but I somehow doubt that's true. I'm only talking about the little things, tiny, inconsequential little aspects of life that you know as a fact..but they only really hit you when they want to. No other time. It's like when the year changes, and you're still writing 2008 for about three-or four-or six- months later, or the fact that you can see cows from the porch of the lady I babysit for. I mean, it's no big deal, until you look out and you see them..and all of a sudden you can't help but think "wow, now that's something odd" (or in this instance; "wow..cows.") even if it's something you should be accustomed to by now, such as how truly disgusting your brother's socks smell. (just an example folks, no need to get tetchy...if you happen to like the smell of certain bleu cheeses, then I'm certain you don't mind the stench at all...for the rest of us, however...)2

My point is, whenever you are struck by this 'mental lightening' you find yourself re-sorting through everything. Whether it's your plans for the rest of your life, or only the next hour or so, you end up having to think just a little bit more than you did the minute before. Completely unplanned, and random..yet, it still happens. 3

Comments are, of course, very welcome, as I would love some help explaining this strange phenomenon...
