Here I am on October 31, 2010 reading about a slightly loopy knight, failed adventures and windmills waiting for 10:30 to roll around so I can go into a world of travestites, sexual exploration and B-movie makeup jobs. Then this thought pops into my head--Don Quixote and Dr. Frank-N-Furter both have a thing about bad costumes, epically failed plans and living life the way they want to--regardless of the consequences. Don Quixote and Dr. Frank-N-Furter don't sit there brooding about their lives, they actually live them. And here is the kicker, they don't care what other people think!
I have to admit that I find Don Quixote to be completely off his rocker. But there is something to be said for someone who has the courage to go live their dream. I know more then one person, myself included, who would love to totally absorb themselves in a world of fantasy. Am I saying that people should dress up and start battling cars during rush hour traffic--No. But what I am saying is that it is okay to hold on to some pieces of the fantastical and it is okay to believe in the unbelievable.
But most importantly, it is okay to step out for yourself and achieve the goals you want. Whether it is becoming a knight, losing 20lbs or just learning to style or hair a different way. No matter what there will be people telling you that you can't do it or you are crazy for trying. But I say screw it! I may be a little crazy but at least I am in good company.
Don't Dream It--Be IT!
You know, running out to fight with rush hour traffic could be fun! How many people would dare fight you if you're coming at them with a lance?!
ReplyDeleteBut I do agree that it is awesome of them to just be themselves and not give a damn what the others think of them!
