People are Stranger!

Yes, well, we went to a street fest over the weekend. We were just spectators. The weather was pretty nice, so the streets were full. Nature keeps churning out these human specimens. It is amazing; the variety of the human species, the combinations, the sizes, and it's also instructive to see how human beings are willing to present themselves.

Is it just me? Or is everyone just getting a little bit freakier? I mean, I know I'm quite freaky myself, but watching the human pageant, kind of opened my head to this idea that nature continues to experiment with the human form, and we continue to get stranger and more exotic. Also fat, and weird, and probably certifiably crazy too.

I think our mass media sort of gives us a skewed idea of what a human being is; lots of attractive people with excellent bone structure on our TV's and video screens. But out in the real world, on the street, it's a completely different story.

And maybe nature just gets more creative, and extreme and keeps coming up with ideas for the human experiment. And well, most of the experiments are quite weird, and not up to spec.

Anyway, at this fest, the nuts were out in force. And they were having a grand old time. If you think people are strange, they are stranger than you think, if you think they are fat, they are fatter than you think, if you think they act odd and a little bit crazy, they are odder and crazier than you think.

Still, it was a good time, everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. And that's OK, in fact, it's kind of a beautiful thing. But it's all a bit strange, and stranger you can imagine.
