Thats right I said it. Somethings life is like a Highjacked UPS truck filled with Tickle Me Elmos. Please allow me to break this statement down so you can see what I mean.
First, lets look at "UPS truck".
Have you ever seen a UPS truck go backwards? They don't do it. Part of the UPS philosophy is that they are always moving forward, so their trucks do the same. They are always positioned to be moving forward. The same is of life. Life is always moving forward whether we want it too or not. I remember being a kid and thinking "I can't wait 'til I get older". Now I find myself looking at the present or even the past and wishing I could life these moments just a little longer, but we must keep moving forward.
Next we will have a look see at the term "Highjacked". To me it means that something was taken off of its intended destination by force. Now don't get me wrong, I am not even saying that this has to be bad. All I am saying is that life is often taken off the course that we initially set out in by events greater then ourselves. That and the term "highjacked" brings more of a shocking drama to the title then "mis-guided" or "new final stop added". This relates to me because as I continue to move forward I often find myself moving forward to new things or new ways. Think of your life 10 years ago, what events have shaped the way that you are moving or are you still going in your original direction?
Fianlly, "Tickle me Elmos?" Yes tickle me elmos! Sorry maybe it comes from a retail mentality but currently i think of a toy that the demand is so high for that the original MSRP is considered a bargain and people are willing to pay 10 times that right now on ebay so that their youngster is not screaming on "Present Day". Our lives are filled with presents (or gifts and talents) and for me it feels as if I sell them to the highest bidder. . m 7h9im856bnndfe r. mL?< (sorry that whole jumble was added by Kayla (my 6 month old Daughter). Not to long ago I was of the school of thougth that said that my gift to humanity was to give myself to it freely, but now I find myself selling my gifts to provide for my family. As of this day, i hope that as i continue to move forward that I will be able to learn balance between providing for my family and contributing to society and the good of humanity. As I am learning this balance, however, remember that bids are still being excepted. So, there you have it - Sometimes Life is like a Highjacked UPS Truck filled with Tickle Me Elmos.

Hmmm... I'd agree with Kayla on this one, bro. Although, I wish I was Vader in that last picture because anyone who tickles a doll has more relationship issues than me... :-)
Hey, this is the first post. Always the best place to start.
