Alive and Wed; Un-Reasonably Dead;

A cat’s tail should be a happy one;

I mean who has ever seen a depressed cat?

A morose dog maybe,

one that hasn’t seen his owner for a bit.

/m But back to the cat. It was a pretty normal day on one of my travels. I was back home in my birthplace of Mahabad/(36.7651° N, 45.7218° E)/Friday Dec 13 2024 (wow Friday the 13th too!), and it was a Friday (the west’s Sunday). So the streets were completely empty, and I’m walking, trying to say positive things to myself. As one does. Your awesome! Your kind and nice and generous and the world is Good.

To my left, I saw a cat lying there, awfully, terribly, still.

NOW the scene that I saw is not fit for this post. I try to keep this shit PG-. Even your grandmother can go see my movies. Okay?

But this was HORRIFIC. The scenes of dismay. My god. I wish I could get that out of my head what I saw. Again it was a Friday. So nobody had cleaned this up. Man was it bad. Everywhere.

It made me think that this universe is indeed a cruel and unusual place. Firstly, we are here, that is as much as we know. Beyond that, we don’t understand that if we are created, and there is a Good, then how can such a thing happen?

Now it made me think further. The Cats that we see, which are all tweakers, is because they know that can happen. The ones that are alive somehow have been successful.. at not having THAT happen. Okay? So they all tweak the hell out. All the freaking time. Because THAT can happen.

They are all on Edge man. All the time. Why?

Because…

A moment you are free, and then, your Locked Up man.

One minute your alive, the next your Dead.

A second your single, the next your Wed.

Another day you are Rich, and bro that night your Broke and your girlfriends gone back home with the dog. And if she’s especially cruel my friend, she’ll leave you with the dog, so you always have the memory of her, after she moves in with the new guy.

Now these are BAD thoughts. The kind of thoughts you shouldn’t be thinking on a friendly Sunday during your affirmation walks.

What IS fascinating, is ‘THAT’ cat had an awfully bad day. But the rest of the street was calm, not a single problem in sight. It is a universe of pluses and minuses. One dies, one is born. Another has a bad day. Another graduates University and goes on a wild bender with his buds where ONLY good things happen.

What is the cause of one, and the downfall of the other?

Well that’s the million dollar question. And if you subscribe, so I die a rich writer, not a broke one - then I’ll answer it in the next post.
