"Life's calling, where are you?" Sometimes ad lines make me laugh at their sheer absurdity. It is like asking a hamster on a wheel in a cage, where he is going.
I love that ad actually. Wouldn't it be wonderful if life did call like that. You standing at a window looking stunned at the mardi gras parade unfolding on your street.
But no, it calls in other ways. Nothing flashy – that is not its style. No, it is almost hynoptic when it throws choice morsels in odd places where you don't look for it. When you find them, you are happy. Makes you feel smart, since you picked up on something others disregarded. It is your little diamond in the rough that you polish. Sometimes you are really, really lucky and it is just that. But hell, stop being surprised if it turns yellow and citric on you.
So where am I? Right where you left me.
