Just kidding.<br /><br />You have already found that a gathering of a bunch of people with no purpose in mind will end poorly. Nothing wrong with a good party, or celebration, but it is not the means to an end, and certainly not 'the end' itself. A celebration with no purpose rings hollow. We are all searching for something, but I don't believe emptying out the vagaries or our conscience, putting our 'inner weirdness' on display is anything but an exercise in mutual conceited laziness on an endless search for external validation.<br /><br />Someday you will look back and realize that you got burned, at the burn.<br /><br />DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8044648.post-18091614036082955412011-06-15T11:34:33.007-05:002011-06-15T11:34:33.007-05:00Great way to learn about the world in all its vari...Great way to learn about the world in all its variations! You are seeing things at the gathering that will shape your mind in the future--gathering story ideas and experience to make them believable. More power to you--well, unless you did some illegal stuff like hard drugs or something.<br /><br />As for having a summer with no work--you really hardly have time, with Crow Duck in the middle. Consider that you've been hired to be our errand man in Crow Duck and that we need you for kid chasing and heavy lifting--it's true, and then you can feel you are working. And if you also get to fish, while being a very needed boat driver, then that's gravy.<br /><br />Someday you will look on this last "free" summer with great happiness. You've got the rest of your life to wear a ball and chain. GrandmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
