Cracked.


Concrete. It's everywhere. Cold. Lifeless. Concrete. Why do we like it so much that we put it everywhere? I noticed something a while ago that was quite inspiring. Concrete has to be poured in smaller chunks so it doesn't crack everywhere. The ironic part of that is that there are manmade cracks every so often. Well, I was walking down 99W and I noticed something. A small almost unnoticeable orange flower, blooming up from between the cracks. How awesome! Even though it wasn't supposed to grow there, it did anyway. Even concrete could not stop the will of a small orange flower. So much for lifeless.

why DO we like it so much? i really don't understand the whole concrete thing. i like your blog, mototo.

because it's solid, reliable, and sturdy, unlike so many things in this life.

but it's ugly. ugly trumps solid, reliable and sturdy every time in my world.

but that's your world, not the world.

eff that! my world is way better. more interesting and prettier. obviously, since concrete is not a part of it.

simplyhaskell said...

oh by the way, i don't appreciate you talking about my mom like that.

no, it's okay. i talked to your mom and she was totally cool with it. she agreed with my concrete sentiments too.

simplyhaskell said...

oh, so that's who she was talking to. she was confused.

simplyhaskell said...
