My Delusional World..

Have you ever wondered what world someone lived in? What it would be like to be a fly on the wall in their world? Wondering if there was any information that could be gleaned that would explain their actions or reasonings behind their behavior? Well, let me give you a glimpse of my delusional world.

Where I live there are priorities and to some they make no sense at all, why would a plastic box that is 3/4" thick by 2" wide by 3 1/2" tall be top priority? A concept that most people should be able to understand in today's society of electronic leashes. I remember my first electronic leash, it weighed about eight pounds and was the size of a watermelon. Boy was it great to be able to make phone calls when traveling, now it is completely out of control. Phone smaller than wallets, blue tooth headsets so people appear to be talking to themselves, ability to communicate with txt messaging and all the other features that are available. Those little devices that bring people closer, where it is far easier to communicate by a text message than it is to sit down and talk over a cup of coffee. Sigh! We all jump to the little beeping and random noises that come from our pockets.

Not only are their strange priorities in my world, there are also strange rituals. The most interesting ritual involves the sudden grabbing of the electronic leash, the quick look at the backup EL, the strange facial expressions that are made when starring at the screen or maybe even the sudden dropping of the clutch when stopped at a stop sign when the ticklish rumble in your pocket startles you. All these rituals make sense to those who are members of the electronic leash society, but other people do not understand ANY of these sudden movements. To this day I still remember the first time Mom called when I was out riding the motorcycle, almost a very bad ending for me.

My delusional world a nice balance of work and play, with very few of those stressful days. Those days that leave one feeling completely drained and wanting nothing more than to make it all go away. The days being more like an ice cream sundae, complex but more than just ice cream. Days filled with some work but topped with relaxation. A world with more whipped cream and sprinkles and a lot less vanilla ice cream.

Even the best delusional world has a bad day, it would be great if the world's where so delusional that there was no such thing as a bad day but just a little unrealistic. This imperfection leads to some interesting problems solving skills. In my delusional world, all problems can be solved with a hot shower, pot of fresh brewed coffee and few extra hours in the rack. Just like that, problems solved and back to the perfection of the delusional world.

What is your delusional world like?
