It just totally beats me what exactly that is. Life strikes me as, more than anything else, an incredible stroke of luck, or an incredible series of lucky breaks. On every level – molecular, personal, cosmic. [Marijuana flashback warning]. I mean, asteroids are missing us a dozen times a day, in one way or another, as we muddle through, finding, if not order, at least beauty in this chaos.

Which isn’t to say that it all will turn out great in the end, it’s just that it sounds to me like, well, there’s no other way to do it than to stumble your way through it because god knows, no one can tell you what to do. It’s all just instinct. And you’ve got insect, I mean instinct all right!

They were all just different shades of weird, growing up. Suburbia.

Yes, I left out humor. Humor is important. And being cool. In a humorous way. And when appropriate, as you mention. Good point.

I don’t have kids, but I think back on my friend’s dads who could really crack us up from time to time when it was appropriate (my dad rarely did). But we thought that was cool, and got what amounted to some much needed positive reinforcement. It sounds like you, in your insect-mode, have that great quality… while kids can be a tough audience sometimes, they figure out how special it is sooner or later. Maybe that’s what Beta meant?
