Do people normally spend their Sunday in bed?
Well I do not really care if it is completely normal or not but today seemed like a great day to veg out in my comfy bed and read a new book. What book I was reading would make no difference to the reader of this blog, whether I am diving deep into some of Jim Harrison poetry or rereading Aldo Leopold's Sand County Almanac. Its the concept of making the personal decision to be recluse and hide myself away from society for a afternoon that to some may challenge the normalcy of life. At times I feel that social interaction for me come with a cyclic relationship that is mutually associated with periods of social withdraw. I believe that both are normally significance in ones daily life and when both feelings are presence there is a need for a equal distribution that both promotes cultural diversity and worthwhile thought for a person. If I had spent the entire day in bed and I personally felt that I did not glean on bit of knowledge or discover something about myself that would allow me to change as a member of society, then I would have been ashamed to admit to all that I was so lazy and boring of a person to slump into my midday slumber, but that is not the case today. Normally I would have a hard time admitting that a day spent in bed was anymore productive than a day spent around others in a cafe or library, but on this day I feel good about my choice to stay in and work on myself instead of other irrelevant projects in my life. What really does not matter is what my opinion is because it is most likely not the norm, and that is what this blog is really about. Everything that is normal to one person may never cross the mind of another person on the other side of the globe, but ideas and concepts that are normal to most are relevant to the people having those thoughts. When I watched Michael Moore speak this weekend at the Wisconsin state capitol steps I did not think that any of his ideas where normal by any means, but the guy next to me may have thought that everything that he was saying was so normal. That is completely normal to me and that is why I am going to continue with this blog.
