Okay, so it has been a while... but it's not like anybody reads this anyway, so I don't think I'll be hearing any complaints. Something profound just happened so I figured I'd mention it.
At the bus stop today, I met a man from Chad. We talked about French, travel, economics... you know how it goes. Meet a stranger, tell your life story. In any case, here's a bit of our conversation:
JUSTICE: So have you ever been anywhere like Chad?
ALLISON: Sadly, no. I would really like to, but I've never been out of the United States.
JUSTICE: Why not?
ALLISON: I guess I've never really had the opportunity.
JUSTICE: You have to make your own opportunity, no?
Ain't it the truth? Whenever there's something you would really like to do, you have to make it happen. You can't wait for the chance to come around. Go! Move! Grab life by the horns (and saw 'em off)!
[Wow, I just made a Dodge and anti-t.u. statement at the same time.]
I thought it was an interesting statement. I hope I get to see him again.
