A friend of mine years back in high school had a t-shirt she loved to wear. It was tight fitting, baby blue, and across the front, in black letters it read:
BE CRUNCHY.
I know, I was curious too and simply had to ask her one day, "What the hell does be crunchy mean?"
She explained that it was based on a philosophy about life. I was impressed by this as I personally at 16 had no philosophy about anything. She said that the world was a cereal bowl and we as people were all the cereal inside it. All the woes and the troubles that life could send a persons way was the milk. The idea was not to let the milk of life make you soggy, or sad, so the idea was to be crunchy, or happy.
Yes, I pretty much shook my head on that one too. I'd heard that all the world is a stage, an alien experiment, an illusion, etc, but never a cereal bowl. It made me wonder what kind of cereal she would be. I already figured mine would be Fruit Loops, but was thinking that for her, since she always seemed to be so happy, that she'd have to be something really really crunchy. Captain Crunch with Crunchberries? Then it dawned on me. She was definitely Grape Nuts.
Yup. Nothing could make this girl soggy.
So I guess that the best thing you can do if you're cereal and you don't want to get soggy, is to just stay in the box in the first place to avoid the milk, or bury yourself near the bottom of the bowl so the milk doesn't hit you first, or better yet, stay at the top of the heap and deal with a bit of milk but not enough to make you as soggy as the person under you.
Of course there is always the unexpected in life, and I guess that would be the the occasional spoon that tries to take you out of existence all together.
I have no idea what this has to do with anything. I was hoping to tie this all together with some really great joke at the end, but it just isn't gonna happen. This is just another prime example of being up way too early on a Saturday morning and the effects of coffee on the human mind.
Till next time, have a great weekend and; oh yeah, Be Crunchy.
