Am i crazy? Or am i the only one sane?

Crazy. Five letters, multiple meanings, unknown quality. If someone on the street and asked you: "are you crazy?", what would you answer?? It's not a question of "do i see pink elephants flying around my alarm clock every morning??" its more about introspection. Do you consider yourself crazy? Let's start from the very beginning.....


.....what is crazy?.....


The way her hair smells drives me crazy............................oh my god! i dont understand this math problem, im going effing nuts!!..........all this noise, its making me INSANE!! All these are examples of our everyday life craziness, at least on mine, but im sure if you think enough you'll find some insanity on your life. What do all have in common? No really, im asking you, i have noooo clue, its not a rhetorical question. I mean love seems to be involved in it a lot, from "ohhhhhhh johhhhhnnn, youre crrrrrraaazyyyy" to " You have been diagnosed with Disassociation Identity Disorder.". I mean whats so crazy about this thing we call love. Maybe there is no love, we just go crazy for someone else. So if i had to guess, id guess love but mostly IT'S MISUNDERSTANDINGS that cause insanity.

How about frustration? Ever gone crazy waiting for a bus in Costa Rica?? hehehe How about a more common example, final exam, you are finishing and are tired of doing the exam and suddenly the pen stops writing? Then starts crazyness. You start doing circles everywhere!!! Trying to get the thing to write. Some people lick the tip. Only a crazy person couldve thought of licking the damn thing to get it to work. Some people blow the pen's ass. Some heat the thing up in between their hands. I mean... thats crazy. The misunderstanding of whether the pen wants to be french kissed or be blown through its ass, THATs the cause of crazy here.

I mean think about it, crazy is just a misunderstanding or difference in opinion. Maybe to you jumping on a table stripping and singing britney spears is crazy, maybe to others its fun, maybe to others just plain idiotic. In one of my favorite games theres a quote which doesnt fit here that good, but i think if you read it you'll understand why i put it.


"Right and wrong are not what separate us and our enemies. It's our different stand points, our perspectives that separate us. Both sides blame one another. There's no good or bad side. Just two sides holding different views."
-Squall Leonhart, Final Fantasy VIII


Theres no crazy, its just a matter of perspectives. With my friends sometimes one of them is crazy about a girl, yet when i see her, no effect. Crazy is just a personal thing. Its like Dna, its like the way you smile, the order in which you eat your vegetables. I for one have no crazy standards, for me its just different ways of being happy. Although, it may seem weird, but ive always wondered how split personalities work, with the inner dialogue and stuff. I mean, im a guy who talks to himself a lot, not aloud (thats just crazy hahaha), but still i do it a lot. I mean, why wouldnt i ask myself something, i usually have something pretty smart to say (think) about it or a correct answer. Im a crazy? Maybe to you i am. Thats your perspective, maybe i think the way you comb your hair is INSANE. hahaha

This subject is quite tough, i mean, my head keeps running in circles and i always end up asking "what is crazy?". To tell ya the truth, i dont know and i dont care, i want to keep doing the things im doing whether to see if they are bad or not (cause crazy is a word to describe something bad). Dunno Filo if i managed to talk about what you wanted me to talk about, but its difficult to go into such a wide subject.

So to end it, i just want to say that, never let the idea that something you like to do "is crazy" cause you to stop doing it. So do circles when your pen is out of ink, press the buttons harder on the remote when the batteries are low, but most importantly........let the way her hair smells drive you crazy. Period.
