O'dog's Act II

[Gardener]

O'D.

I hate this stupid sh that we have to live in these boxes. Narrowly defined. Written by somebody else. I was sold a bill of goods and my only disappointment was that I lived in it for so long. f that sh!!!

Those who truly love, don't need boxes. No one knows what the rules are, how long it will last, or what will happen tomorrow. They love anyway.

i will write my own. I will live my own. I will love my own.

I could be wrong but I'm guessing that a short exchange we had recently is taking up permanent residence in your head as it is in mine:

The Dog is disenfranchised with so many things lately. Spending, economy, jobs, education, housing, etc. I feel like I (we) were sold a bill of goods.

So does Gardener.

It's not for lack of personal optimism (macro optimism is another story). I just feel the things valued, conventional wisdom, and the common model was (is) flawed.

More and more, I reflect on having lived my life "by the book". I now plan on living it by my book during the next chapter. After the house is sold, I plan on downsizing and "de-stuffifying" big time.

Won't get fooled again.
