What’s cool about normal?

The idea of normality seems to cover the majority. Is normal perceived or is it real? That is a question each person can answer for themselves. On top of that each individual should evaluate the value he/she puts into normality. My opinion is that normal sucks! Normal is boring and rarely is it even safe. Normal in uncool and that is the bottom-line.

The history behind my thought on normality comes from a long string of pondering moments where I realized the uniqueness of my friend pool. My friends are cool and must therefore not be normal.

It is true that every friend I have is way cool in their own way. My friends are far from normal. We may be freaks or nerds, but we don’t aim to achieve some form of being like the masses. Sometimes, in a public place you will hear one or a couple of us screaming semi-obscene words louder than the other to see who can say the word the loudest before embarrassment hits. Now and then one of us may run down your street with their pants around their ankles. On occasion we may leave a special little fruit character on your doorstep with a note, all in good fun.

I don’t know what normal people do, but I doubt they have half the fun we do. I remember thinking to myself many years ago (last week) that I wish I truly knew what normal was. I have realized that I will never know normal, and I think I am better off for being so ignorant.

PS – Ben thanks for keeping things exciting and bringing out the freak in us!
