I don't want y'all to think I'm shallow.....

Now, I'm usually pretty laid back on this blog, and I try not to get preachy (unless of course something pisses me off), but I do have deeper thoughts, and I sometimes delve into same.

This whole 'want' theme sort of dictates a selfish bent to the month. I mean, isn't want the first thing we learn?

When an infant reaches for her/his bottle...(or angelina jolies nipple) isn't because s/he wants food?

When a baby cries, doesn't s/he want...well.....something?

Want implies selfishness, and we infer that to mean 'whomever has the most toys when s/he dies, wins.'

Or so they would have us believe.

There are some things that I want, however, that are not all about me. But even those?

My altruistic wants?

At their root, there's always a 'win' in it for me.

I plan to talk about some of these deeper things, but that's a story for another day...

Tomorrow, perhaps.




So, do any of you read Overboard? It's a daily comic, and it's syndicated, so some of you might have.....well, I found one that killed me, and I thought I'd share:




Buenos con queso,
