Which of the two are you?
The Morrissey song "Neal Cassady Drops Dead" has been on my mind. And the above line in particular. Neal Cassady was the epitome of life's adventurer. I was thinking of how that question has applied to me. Unfortunately, I have to say most of my life I have been victim. I don't think I have ever been very adventurous. I am cautious by nature and this caution has led me to lead a very structured life. I do not like surprises. I like things in order as I have planned them. When things go awry, I am not a happy person. I am obviously not very spontaneous. I want my affairs and life to go as I have thought them out. Its not to say I can't counter punch if something goes wrong. I prefer things as I have prepared them in my mind. I suppose this makes me the ultimate bore. As always in life. it is not black and white. There is grey in everything. Adventurous, no way but yet I don't consider myself totally a victim. I should have probably been a public transit scheduler. That way I could put my orderliness to good use. One of the reason's I love Morrissey's music is, it makes me think. I should do that more often. It does a brain good every once and awhile to contemplate things other than the mundane routine of every day life. Thanks Mozza.
