Do you ever hear voices in your head?
Im not talking about the kind of voice that tells you that your neighbor is an alien from outer space who is trying to use his telekinetic powers to steal your ATM pin number. That kind of voice in your head is often times associated with some form of mental illness.
Althoooooough .. to be honest, I have noticed him spending an awful lot of time staring at my house and rubbing his abnormally large temples with his long, tapered fingertips in a creepy kind of way .plus hes got this ridiculously large antenna mounted to his roof which he claims is for his ham radio but I have my doubts about .and sometimes, late at night, when Im lying in the bushes and watching his house with my night-vision binoculars, I could swear that there is a strange, green light pulsing from somewhere behind his basement blinds.
Anyway, thats enough about my freaky neighbor from outer space whos trying to steal my ATM pin number with his telekinetic powers.
Actually, the voice that Im talking about is more like the one that gently prods you to do something. Its the one that urges you to fess up when the store clerk makes a mistake and gives you back too much change. Or, maybe its the one that tells you to clean up after your dog when it makes a boom boom in someone elses yard .even though youve done a visual scan of the perimeter and no one seems to be looking not to mention the fact that your dog seems so proud of himself like hes just giving some special stranger a tremendous gift.
Thats the kind of voice Im talking about.
I get that kind of voice occasionally. Recently, its been bugging me about writing a trip report.
Most people are free to choose whether or not they are going to heed their little voice. If they decide to keep the undeserved extra change, so be it. If they want to bend down and pretend to pick up after their dog and then walk away, whistling a merry tune and swinging an imaginary plastic bag of poo all the time leaving behind the real culprit with which I will later enjoy the unexpected, aromatic surprise of hitting with my lawn mower, thats fine. Its totally up to them.
Well, I envy those people.
In my case, my little voice has a name. Its my DW Tinkershell and shes relentless.
I could fight it. But really, whats the point. Its like the old saying goes, happy wife, happy life ..or the slightly less popular version unhappy wife, please ...somebody kill me anybody.......please ..Im begging you.
Anyway, I believe it was Edward Teller who said "No endeavor that is worthwhile is simple in prospect; if it is right, it will be simple in retrospect".......or was that Edward Cullen, the undead protagonist of Twilight who sparkles in the sunlight while encouraging teenage daughters to perform unforgiveable acts......like lying to their fathers. I always get those two mixed up.
Whomever it was, let's hope they're right.
