Who Says?

Monday, July 12, 2010

Who says you have to wait till after sunset for a little skinny dipping? Sunset is just a state of mind anyway. Just like it's 5:00 somewhere. Who makes up those rules anyway? Someone who lived a ho hum life obviously. As John Mayer asks, who says he can't get stoned ? Why can't he just damn well do as he pleases and make himself happy? Who says he can't be free from all the things that he used to be? He wants to rewrite his history and just be free.

An after hours swim sans clothing is about as free a feeling as you can get if you aren't going to go off and get stoned. Actually, it is a pretty good high, with or without a few glasses of wine. While each one of us has a little bit of John Mayer's WHO SAYS attitude inside, we know we can't live that way. There are rules to follow. Rules of society, rules of ...well, just rules. And it is especially hard to do the right thing when so many people around us live the life of John and just focus on being in control of the pleasure in their life.

But in the end, we all want to be able to say that we tried our best while still having some fun and happiness in life. We just have to be careful who we splash while swimming... ~Susan
