i think way too much

I have come to the conclusion that I think entirely too much.  
And that I also use the word "incredible" so frivolously that it doesn't even maintain its originally because everything has been brought up to that level.  

So in an attempt to lighten the mood, I will write of nothing serious for....we'll try a week.  I'm curious as to whether I can actually do it.  I tend to only be inspired to write by things of significance.  But maybe this will be a cool challenge to myself.

So here goes...


Day 1

....



.......



Ok, I think I've got something.  I asked someone what their biggest pet peeve was today.  Their response was "I don't really have any pet peeves.  I guess my biggest pet peeve is when people ask me what my biggest pet peeve is."  I'm sure that they thought by answering this way that they were being clever and sarcastic.  Doesn't that just seem like a self-defeating pet peeve, though?  Irony at its finest.  The shear fact that biggest pet peeves are their pet peeves.  Wait what?  That's even too much for me to think about.  Ouch.  That one hurt a little bit.

I have no idea what I'm babbling about right now.

I'm going to end up with skin cancer.  Even in my attempts to put sunscreen on every morning when I get out of the shower won't keep me from forgetting some area of my body that is inevitably going to be exposed that day.  Saturday, I went fishing with my parents on the lake near our house for about 3 hours and managed to burn the upper part of my legs, a little part of my shoulder where I didn't get sunscreen and my shirt moved, the upper part of my forehead that wasn't covered by my bandana and that I missed with sunscreen, and the nice little strip on my lower back where my shirt came up while sitting.  I either need to get better at putting on sunscreen, or I need to wear clothing that complete covers my body and is all one piece.  (hmm...I wonder what that would look like...)
On the upside, I caught 4 fish and learned how to fillet them!

Alright.  That's enough for now.  I'd better stop before I come up with some metaphor for how filleting a fish relates to my life.

Think too much? Nonsense. How can anyone ever think too much? :p

There are millions of frivolous blogs, and they aren't too compelling to read. So, don't take a vacation from seriousness for too long.

Oh it's possible and I do.

My head just needs a break for a little while from digesting everything.
It's getting heart burn. (wait what?)

Instead of whining that you think too much, why not embrace it and share what you've learned while doing all of that thinking. :)

I'll side with Jonathan too. It's probably better to think too much than too little. People of the latter are careless with everything in life. However, I would say that learning to discipline your thoughts into something productive would be an excellent exercise from which you will reap rewards your entire life.
