myriad of the mundane

i have no idea what to put here

alright. so it's labor day. i think it's a holiday that doesn't mean much anymore. really now, not much at all. think about it. we all go off into the wilderness and camp. who made this camping only on labor day thing a law for most americans? Thou shalt go into the wilderness and there thou shalt camp and sear animal flesh over a grill you conveniently brought with you! i'm also wondering is birds have holidays. yeah, super random and kinda dumb, i suppose. but i wonder if they can think more than we think they can think. if i'm making sense. perhaps we just don't know how they're communicating; maybe we're too dumb ourselves to understand. maybe they possess a way more compact and advanced brain than we do and have just found a happier mode of existance. who can really say? the mice rule the world, you know. but yeah, it's been a good day, i guess. i got to go outside for at least twenty minutes today in between laboring at work and laboring at homework. that just depresses me on days like today. but i did my stuff nonetheless. so that's a pretty good feeling, i know i'm mastering myself. know thyself is a good piece of advice. i'm loving the dhammapada. it's a great little text and doesn't take too long to read. it's a summation of the sayings of the buddha, siddhartha gotama (sp?) and is remarkably similar to the sayings of another well known prophet and teacher who was a carpenter, enough said. I found a really hilarious site, too. i'm going to buy a shirt or two from it. it's maddox.xmission.com, i'm pretty sure, and it's sooooo funny. he's sarcastic, outspoken and just plain funny. there's a few shirts i want in the store, they're hilarious shirts, you should go check out the website if you need to laugh until you have tears going down your face. really. but ok, see you all tomorrow and have a great night. vale
