"i had the feeling it
was out of control... i was of the opinion it was out
of control..."
most of you probably don't know that those are words from a very old U2 song (their very first single from back in 1979... i was one year old. you probably weren't yet born.)
Bono said that the song was about waking up one morning and realizing that the two biggest events in your life (your birth and your death) have nothing to do with you. you have no control over them. (yes... i know... suicide would void that statement, but generally speaking it's true and a little weird to think about.)
i usually think that there is nothing in our lives that is completely out of our control. i mean, it seems like you can always do SOMETHING to change a situation or whatever. but right now, i feel like things are happening that are out of my control. there's nothing that i can do that wouldn't just make things worse. and i hate it.
control freak? yeah... maybe. it runs in the family. i feel like my life has been a series of events consisting of me trying to take control and God smacking me upside the head and saying "you're an idiot!" and yet, here i am again... pissed cuz i'm out of control. and the cycle continues...
