This Is Our World

While walking over the course of two count ‘em two blocks just now, two count ‘em two cars tried to run me down. Somewhere between breakfast and lunch my life turned into a Shia LaBeouf movie. Or, quite possibly even, Shia LaBeouf’s real life. Tell me you don’t wanna run him down just a little.

It got me thinking, though – and you know what happens when Jam Nasty starts thinking – about how few people get to finish their chapter and shut off the light on this perpetual mystery called life. I’m not going to ask you to tell the people you love that you love them; or to hug a stranger; settle past debts; forgive or forget. Nor will I tell you to cast vengeance on your enemies; or punish the wicked; go’on get yours; pillage or destroy. I will tell you, however, if you know someone who is truly annoying, do everything in your power to stop them. Pain and suffering will long outlast us, but annoyance is within our control. Locate the annoying motherfuckers in your life and nip that shit in the bud. It’s kind of like picking up emotional litter.

Our relationships are our own, but the world belongs to everyone. Leave a positive legacy.
