Is it really that lame if, as the finish line comes in view, you just want to give up on the race and take a nap under a tree instead?
I mean C'mon, the hare was tired! He'd been running and hopping around the whole time, you can't blame him for taking a nap. His body needed it, gosh dangit. He could have DIED if he hadn't rested. Let's just give the hunk-of-metal trophy to the darn tortoise Let's over look all the hard work and exertion the hare put forth. It's all cancelled out because he took a rest.
Do you see the injustice? Honestly, which one of you is a tortoise anyway? None of us can relate to the tortoise. We are all mostly hares.
I'm gonna rewrite that story.
By the way, this has no relation to the fact that I'm a senior in high school and want to drop out of 90% of my classes. It also has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that graduation approaches and I haven't spent time with friends, and more importantly family. And the fact that I've been low on joy and energy for the past three weeks and wonder if it would be a sin to learn how to conveniently faint on command is also irrelevant and unrelated to anything I've said.
So a New Random Task may be speaking to a large group of people about something other than religion. It all depends on whether I get selected as a graduation speaker or not... but it would be cool if I did, huh! I'll call it Operation Speak-a-lot. I should know by Thursday.
Sigh... yeeeeaaa if I could just skip ahead to graduation, I wouldn't feel like I missed a thing. I'm ready to be done. Sorry this isn't the sunshiny entry I usually post. I guess it's turned kinda dark and sarcastic. My thoughts are just...oh that poor hare! I swear, I will rewrite that story. I'm serious as a heart attack.
NEW RANDOM TASK: for the greatest cause...
Operation Rewrite: to rectify the hare
