I have an ex girlfriend that still refers to me as Peter Pan. You may think this is because I can fly. It isn't. It's because she perceives me as the boy who refuses to grow up. This is not because the boxes and boxes of toys in my house, the poor excuse for facial hair I sometimes have or the literal ton (I weighed them) of comic books I have. It is in part my interest, but it is also the thing I ignore and the things I put out of my mind. I do ignore a lot of the atrocities of the world. I don't hold serious conversations really. I think seriousness is overrated. There are other people who are serious; people if the financial world, people of the government. And I wish them all the luck in the world. May they secure my country and money and nights when I'm sleeping.
That's not me though. I live in my imagination. I would much rather sketch, write, listen to music, paint things, tell ghost stories, fall asleep on a blanket in the park. I would rather place my action figures in battle poses, talk to strangers, and play my video games.
I don't want you to think I can't be serious though. I am very serious with my work. That's about the only time I am serious though. Perhaps it is because of my work that I am less than serious most of the time. I deal with some very serious subjects when I counsel people, whether it be previous abuse, disorders, wife/husband beatin' or any other dysfunctional behavior. I think it taxes me on the serious stuff.
Sides, who would you rather spend time with, the guy who tells you about his bomb shelter and 401 k or the guy who shoots fireworks with you?
When thinking of the subject of seriousness, here's a favorite quote:
Fill the churches with dirty thoughts! Introduce honesty to the white house! Write letters in dead languages to people you've never met! Paint filthy words on the foreheads of children! Burn your credit cards and wear high heels!
Asylum doors stand open!
Fill the suburbs with death camps, divine madness! Let there be ecstasy in the streets!
Laugh and the world laughs with you!
