Entailing Sometimes..

While waiting for my food a few days ago at lunch, I decided to pass the time by staring out the window at a group of pigeons.

Normally, when one bird flys away, they all do. But this was no ordinary group of pigeons.

Taking advantage of their ability to fly, they spread their wings and flew less than 10 feet away; minus one.

When all the birds decided to fly, one decided to go against the norm and walk the distance.

Immediately I laughed out loud to myself and thought, "I have a new respect for pigeons. He walked even though he could fly. That guy just didn't give a $%@!."

Thank you rebellious pigeon, you have inspired my next blog post. Who woulda' thought?

Sometimes, it's ok to be the rebel.

Sometimes, we just need to be.

Don't get me wrong, I am in no way encouraging bad behavior, but, nor am I condemning it.

I'm sure we can all agree, life is boring sometimes.

You're a liar if you say you've never wanted to do something ambitious, because you're sick of being the "good kid" or just for the hell of it.

They key to bad behavior? don't let it become a bad habit.

Behavior is an every now and then sort of thing. Habit is an every day, or more than you should, sort of thing. Don't get them confused.

Excuses of a rebel:
- Class at 8 a.m.? Oops, did you hear my alarm? I sure didn't!
- You know.. I just thought that yellow light was going to be longer.
- I wish I could be in class to turn in that paper, but I think I caught the stomache flu.
- Officer, I think my speedometer is broken..
- I'm 21.. Until I get ID-ed.
- Sorry Mom, I really want to help you clean the house, but I have a study group!

OR

"I just wasn't feelin' it":
- I have a test tomorrow.. Hopefully we can drop our lowest score.
- It's 5:00 p.m., thats funny I have to be at work at 5 p.m., hope I don't get fired.
- What curfew?
- That stop sign is useful.. when I care.
- Paycheck: I really wanted that "_______" more than I wanted to put it in the bank.

Are you relating yet?

Mom and Dad, sometimes we stay up all night long doing homework, so ya, sometimes it's perfectly fine to sleep til noon.

Professor, I sincerely apologize that somtimes my video game and facebook stalking for 3 hours is more important than your homework assignment.

Officer, you pulled my friend over for going 4 miles over, so sometimes I figure it's a go big or go home situation, right?

Car riding my ass, I wish I cared that you almost rear-ended me when I brake checked you, but sometimes I just don't.. It'd be your fault.

Annoying person in class, Sorry you got your feelings hurt, but sometimes I just can't bite my tongue.

Basically, sometimes we just don't do things according to ettique, law, or status quo. And sometimes, that'd perfectly fine.

Give yourself a little leash, but don't let go.

Sometimes I think we all need to be like the pigeon didn't give a %^#! and walked to his birdie friends.

I never would have thought a pigeon could teach me a lesson about life, but he did.

Don't get stuck in the rut of your everyday, plotted out, robot-like life.

Embrace the dirty looks and petty remarks. Go ahead and be a rebel.. sometimes.
