Philosophy from unlikely sources?

      You can’t know your future unless you create it

Girls,

How are ya?

I think,

I may have,

mentioned,

in the past,

I like quotes,

I collect them,

sometimes they come,

from books,

from greeting cards,

from bumper stickers,

whatever,

where ever,

ads,

posters,

if,

they capture,

my imagination,

I jot ’em down,

in the ole Moleskin,

The current Moleskin notebook has scotch taped to the cover Emma Goldman’s mug shot:-)

For a while,

years ago,

when I was,

on an extended,

sick leave,

my ex,

used to send me,

a quote,

every day,

sweet,

thoughtful,

a good friend.

Nothing wrong with being sentimental is there?

But,

the quote,

that started this,

post,

it comes from,

an unlikely,

place,

it comes,

from,

the elastic band,

of my boxers.

I know, I know!! I can hear you now, BB is talkin’ about her boxers again. But, in my defense this is… a source, a disclosure thing, you know… truth in blogging:-)

Interesting,

philosophical proposition?

cheap pop psychology?

marketing ploy?

How about,

all of the above,

What if?

even though,

the clear,

and,

stated objective,

is,

let’s face it,

to sell you,

something,

does that make it,

any less,

true?

Consider,

sure it sells,

running shoes,

and,

t-shirts,

and a,

lifestyle,

but,

still,

shouldn’t we?

Just do it!

excercise,

create,

tie one on,

dance,

Let go,

Let loose,

Work hard,

Make love,

Not War,

whatever it may be.

Would,

I Think Therefore I am,

be,

any less true,

because,

you read it,

on a t-shirt,

or,

a billboard?

But, what do I know?

I think philosophy,

comes from,

boxer shorts:-)

OK,

cheek very painful.

Later girls,

BB
