contrary

2002 10 05

People seem to become so used to certain things being applicable to certain times of the day. They become almost trapped within the idea that some things belong in a particular spot, and nowhere else. Folks never seemed to understand why I would eat hamburgers for breakfast and eggs for supper (when I bothered to actually eat eggs, that is) - the idea being that eggs are "just breakfast food". My thinking on it is this: it is food, I am hungry, therefore I am going to cook and eat it. I never quite got the have-to's and appropriates in these things.

I suppose this answers the question of why it is that not half an hour ago the people outside finally decided to leave-off the street hockey game they were playing. I mention this in context to the above, only because it's now 4:03 a.m., and it had been raining only marginally like a bastard not too long ago.

I am guessing it also answers the question of why I'd rollerblade in the rain, wear hats in summer but not winter, and generally do even some of the little things in contrary to how the rest of the world was apparently doing them.

I prefer it that way.
