Being a weed.
Hugh? Something to ponder.
If you knew the guy that 'Shared' this, your first thought, immediately, drug related. But it's not is it ? Or.... is it.
NO, no, it is not. True some Bohemian chick in Temecula, CA thought it up while smoking Mary. !Reicher! Mary Jane, Reefer, Cush. Dude, your mind is always in the gutter.https:
But, back to my thoughts and insights.
I knew a lot of "Pot Heads" in school. A lot ! We mostly turned out well. The ones' gone didn't die from being a "Pot Head".
I also knew a lot of "Arrows" who strolled the straight rows. They mostly turned out well. The ones' gone Blah, Blah, Blah. You get the point.
But as I look at my friends list I can easily tell the "Weeds" from the Rows".
I will never pigeon hole anyone. Their are a few crossovers. 20% max.
I'm happy for the 10% that became "Weeds". Sad for the others.
I guess 7.4% are trying their damnedest to be "Weeds" but have to wait until they retire.Hell, Jim's already made it. Maintenance provided digs. Doesn't even have to mow his yard. His little bro though is still a "Row".
My lovely and brave wife was a "Weed" in "Row"s clothing. I drug her into the "Weeds". She is only a "Row" on Sunday. STOP! That's a lie. Our church is a "Weed". That's why she goes. She is a "Weed" and I think she is glad.
My 3 kids are 2 "Weeds" and one "Row". But that's cool. She married a "Weed" and he is dragging her into the "Weeds". Their boys will grow up to be "Weeds". "Weeds" that poke dead things with sticks and kill animals because their other GPa is a "Row". Barely. He tries his hardest, bless his heart but he can't quite get there. I know for a fact Dan has raised at least 1 "Weed" maybe 2.
My little brothers are in a different spot. Never really "Pot Heads" But we are all three different rows. Kinda.
People call us the "Rev" the "Red" and the "Reb".
The "Rev", he kinda walks the edge. Hello, they call him "The Rev" for a reason. He does well, he is very good at what he does. He takes his congregation into the weeds.
The "Red". He want's to be a "Weed", he even loves Willie and Waylon and The Boys. He is a honest to God make Laura proud redneck. (FYI, I'm not positive but I think Laura is a "Weed".)
He want's so hard to be a "Row" but can't quite get there. He walks catty wompous (Spell Check can't fix that). at kind of an angle. He tries to be a weed, he just can't and messes up the "Rows". But that's cool, that's what he want's.
In conclusion, I'm a "Weed" and we all should be "Weeds".
But if you don't want to be. That's cool.
