Odd musings

You know what? I wish I were a more transient person. I'd like my hair, my clothes, my whole way of life to be more transient. It almost sounds spririutal in a sense. Only in a society obsessed with politically correct euphemisms could being a bum sound so glamorous. I mean really, a "Transient Man"? It sounds life A) some spiritual dude of some religious significance, or B) some sort of heavy metal concept album. Then again, I just realised that Jesus, Muhamad, and even Buddah were transient men, and I believe that Socrates was either transient or damn near to it.

But serriously, it wouldn't be a bad life. No taxes, no insurance payments, no overdraft fees, no worrying about gas prices, home values, or career opertunities. I mean sure, you'd have to worry about where to eat and sleep and about being beat up by random anti-bum hater angry people, but what's being concerned for your life against being concerened about being audidted? And if you fall into the elite Jesus/Muhammad/Buddah group of transients, you get fringe benefits such as devine intervention and deciples. Did sucessful lawyers ever get God to perform miracles for them? Do entreprenuers get to turn water into wine? Do brilliant doctors get to walk on water?

That's why I want to be more transient. Maybe some of you will join me in my quest of tranience.

'Cause next to "Transient Man", "Software Engineer" sounds rather mundane and dull
