Old Ben Kenobi

 

Obi-Wan was an excellent character, as was Rancid Crabtree, although a bit more obscure.   I remember seeing an old spaghetti western, I think it was The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Anyway, the Ugly was in a gun store, taking various pieces of different pistols and fitting them together to make the perfectly balanced handgun. 

I see the various bits of my life like that, assembled from different movies, different musical groups and literary characters.  They all blend to make my life feel complete and balanced. 

It is in that contentment where I write.  It serves no earthly purpose to write agitated.  It would be like adding expired cream to your coffee.  The lumps of discontentment always float to the top.

I try to separate the drama from the substance and always try look on the bright side. Agitated is not healthy or a fun way to live. Expired cream is a Great Analogy!
