Be weird,
it’s easier!
Read his sign
and that’s what
we shared in 1969—
bowling, poetry and fishing,
moon landings,
chess games
and Drive-Ins—
Sounds of Music
in pouring rain.

It is easier!
ReplyDeleteWeird is the way to be if it is the way you be. Authenticity is everything!
ReplyDeleteAs the internet sign says, "I tried being normal once; worst ten minutes of my life!"
ReplyDeleteI love that musical, smiles ~
ReplyDelete1969 ~ and the decade ends. What a trip it was!
ReplyDeleteBe weird,
ReplyDeleteit’s easier!
That is true Susan. It is easier No inhibitions as long as it does not cross others' paths. Nicely!

It's easier...
ReplyDeleteand a world of fun.
Or maybe it's just because I really love my weird. ♥
Sounds like "living" to me Let the "weird" begin.
ReplyDeleteSusa, you like me, probably saw more movies at the drive-ins than inside shows. After I had a car, that was.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember ever having rain for a show. I do remember driving and sitting in or getting out in the rain.
I think the sign you had was weird in itself. 1969 was a good year. I became single again. :)
..
Love it!
ReplyDeleteYes, embrace your weird. I am at the point where I don't give a flip what others think. :)
ReplyDeletegreat last line in this one...
ReplyDeleteit sets off a comparison to me in what we believe the mood is
of pouring rain...
this is nice... reads like a snapshot memory, very sentimental but not sticky-so.
ReplyDeleteWeird is generally better, except when it is bad weird--easy to tell, because bad weird happens in the dark.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you doubled the meaning in "sound of music," implying that the fun you had together, the falling in love, was a sound of music. Great message. It is easier to just give in to it, isn't it? And then you're more likely to find your true soul mate, if you're genuinely being yourself.
ReplyDeleteAll good memories!
ReplyDelete:o) I'm lovin' this weirdness!
ReplyDeleteVery charming. Great choice of details. My time and stuff. k.
ReplyDeletebowling in the rain, now that would be weird :) ~
