Have You Ever?
Have you ever noticed that when you go to a concert you can never really understand the words the Lead Singer is singing? You may know the words from having heard the song a million and four times, but you don't actually HEAR the words as they stream out the singer's mouth. The drummer, bassist, and guitarist see to that. If you can hear anything, over the pounding of the drums and the awsome sounds from the guitar(s)/bassist(s), more often than not it'll be the people in the crowd screaming the lyrics that you also know by heart.Have you ever looked around a concert at the people? Not just the ones in the crowd. But the ones who are running around setting things up? Have you ever had the chance to watch the man at the light board? Watched as his fingers worked magic with the lighting on the stage? I did. I watched as he pounded out with the rest of the crowd and still managed to fly his fingers to the correct spots to get the correct lighting going. And still manage somewhere along the way to light up a smoke. That's what I call talent. I'm not sure I could do his job. Not without years upon years of training. And the guy last night didn't look over the age of 23.
Have you ever been driving in the dark, with no cars around, yawning and knowing that you're half asleep, and seen those figures on the side of the road? The figures that, when you turn to look at them, don't even remotely resemble what you swore was there. The figures that seem like they were alive for that moment in time. Were alive long enough to frighten you awake and then went back to their unanimated existance.
Have you ever had so may thoughts race through your head that it was hard to just choose a few? So many thoughts that you didn't know how to even begin sorting through them.
