12/27/2004: "Life's Odd Little Mysteries"
mood: I Feel Violated.

Ever wonder why you were born here? and not there?
Ever wonder why you have to stay here? and can't go there?

Pei-Ponders
Just look at this crazy get up. It takes all this to go out for a 5 minute weewee.
I feel like a fool, I probably look like a fool, and in 4 minutes it's all got to come off.
Why do we live here? and not on Grand Cayman, or the Hawaiian Isles or on the Riviera?
Why was I born here? and not there?
I've never been to those places but I've heard of them. Even MERLIN has been to some of those places. Why am I here? With all this cold, wet, white stuff!
And why am I on this side of the fence and not on the other side of the fence?
If I was there... I wouldn't need this crazy get up.
I could stay outside all day sniffeling and romping like the dumb Chow does.
Why was I born here?
I hear those far away places have other shar-pei too, so I wouldn't be the only one.
And why am I STILL on this side of the fence and not on the other side of the fence?
I can't help wondering. Why am I here? and not over there?
But it's so cold over here. I hear it's so warm over there!
But I hear there are no fences over there. There are so many rules over here.
Maybe there are fields, and fields of dog cookies over there too.
This damned fence won't move out of the way.
hmmmmmm I have so many friends here. If I move I wonder if I can get them all to come with me.
I would miss them if they stayed here. I feel so violated.
NB: Dear Reader: You have just witnessed an actual, authentic Shar-Pei, "Ponder of the Moment".
