a snail with a south paw.

today i did exactly what i wanted to.... nothing. a nothing that embodies a something. a nothing that does not earn money, nor is it eventful but sometimes it means so much more than doing A something. i think back to the greek philosophers... if they were always doing something... how would they have gotten anything accomplished? if you are always keeping busy by doing things, when do you have time to think? with so much to think about, a day of nothing was needed to sort through historical anomalies and present day replications of the past. one of the many esoteric things i learned today was that scientists have determined that certain species of animals that are "lefties" (myself being so inclined) are more likely to win in battle against predators. the specific animals that were studied were snails and crabs. i determined that if i were an animal i would be a left-handed snail. a warrior with a slow socratic outlook. grapes and boys.... after a few more wrinkles in the gray matter i decided to indulge in a few of my favorite things....but where are the boys, i ask??? where? at the symposium of course. platonically, of course.
