People do have their moments of eccentricity. Taken to an extreme level, they may be what the rest of the 'normal' community (would) call nutheads, mental cases. Because they display 'unconventional behaviour'. Most of the time, it's simply because they are different, or do things their own way.

But where is this fine line that separates justifiable actions and an outburst of sillyness? Is it manifested in some life manual the accepted human behaviour? What if spur of the moments are the elements in keeping you sane, to be able to have claimed that you did something stupid, but fun at the same time? Is it an age factor that you are not supposed to do certain things? Are there any rules (on how) to ease up? What is 'normal'?

Thinking back, I've been called an eccentric (by a friend) once, just by observing the way I eat (?). I like that my phone is in parallel with my (disinfected) laptop. Today I'm wearing a red band-aid on my finger, because I feel like it. Would you look at me differently? I got one bewildered look so far....it became a source of amusement for me.

So, my friend, care to amuse me further? :D


HERE BY ME

....things are sometimes not as simple....


i hope you're doing fine without me
cause I'm not doing so good without you
the things I thought you'd never know about me
were the things I guess you always understood

so how could I have been so blind for all these years?
guess I only see the truth through all this fear
and living without you

…and everything I had in this world
and all that I’ll ever be
it could all fall down around me
just as long as I have you
right here by me

i can’t take another day without you
cause I could never make it on my own
i’ve been waiting so long
just to hold you
and be back in your arms where I belong

sorry I can’t always find the words to say
but everything I’ve ever known gets swept away
inside of your love…

as the days grow long I see
that time is standing still for me
when you’re not here
