Cogs can think.

As some of you may know, every now and then, I change the tagline of my blog (it’s underneath the big title). There’s no method in that, i just sometimes change it, at will. It was “I can buy you, but I can’t make you do what you don’t” for quite a while, though (it’s from A Camp). You could say each tagline kind of refers to the general state I’m in, but you didn’t get that from me.

I’m in a Dead Like Me period at the moment. For the 38947238957th time, I’m watching all 29 episodes of the two seasons - I can basically lip sync them but I’m still amazed and inspired by it nonetheless. Like I said, it’s not TV, it’s art. Anyway, that’s where my current tagline is from.

For me, it sums up ‘life’. Life is one big consideration: is whatever the hell I’m doing right now, or the things around me, worth sticking around for? Do I drive by Renaatje’s exit when we are talking in the car, continuing the drive so we can talk some more? Do I continue to watch this film, or do I turn it off so I can go make some espresso? Do I continue writing this txt msg, or do I quit because I’m afraid of its consequences? Do I take another Martini, or do I leave for home? Should I take one final chocolate chip cookie, or do I put them away for tomorrow?

And the list goes on. All we basically do in life is consider.

Maybe Rube was right. Smell some fcuking roses already.
