I had a can of soda. It was warm. I am impatient. I put it in the freezer.
About 20 minutes later I thought of going to get it. I was really thirsty, this soda was sounding more refreshing by the minute ... but I finally decided I thought it could use a little more time to chill to perfection.
I forgot about it. Of course, I forgot about it.
Two and a half hours later, I think to myself. Geez, I just drank that soda, how am I still so thirsty?!..."THE SODA!!!!"... I run into the kitchen. WHEW. It hadn't exploded yet, and to my pleasant surprise, was a few degrees away from being rock solid. I bring it back to my desk. I wait 5 minutes. I eyeball it. .. Maybe it's ready ... no, not yet....
I wait 2 minutes... ... ... then, I attempt to open it.
It sprays and spills everywhere. My computer's mouse is swimming in a puddle of fizzy lemon lime delight.
Couldn't say I was surprised. Back to the kitchen to grab some paper towels. I clean it up. I go to take a sip, the remaining soda in the can is frozen solid. Back to square one. I am so thirsty.
... ... ... ... ... ... .. .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Why do people (clearly myself included) do things when they can already forsee the outcome? Maybe we tell ourselves, just maybe, it won't happen just the way we've experienced it in the past. Maybe this time will be different? It never is. We're all just searching for excuses to give in to temptation and do as we please without feeling guilt or remorse. Oh well, life certainly wouldn't be as exciting without a little risk-taking every now and again.
Live it up. Do as you please. I say, go out and take risks. Just make sure you take the right ones.
