Out of the Woods

If you are reading this from my actual blog page you may have noticed some changes going on here at Sarcastic and Single (or Where is my Couch depending on when you joined us). One thing is, it is no longer black and EMO (not my words). Let's be honest, when I started out last year I was EMO - now that that has been cleared up let's move on. So starting off this year I changed things up a bit. New header, new colors, and new writers (OK, that started before). The Flicker bar stays the same and so far I haven't thought of anything worthy enough for a poll. And just to clear some things up, I didn't write the last two posts. They are WAY too good to be from me.

So, the new title (for now) states, "you are never really out of the woods." Depending on how you look at that it could be a glass half empty, a glass half full sort of thing. How do I want you to look at it? I don't really care. What attitude did I use when writing it? I don't really know. I guess my attitude was ambiguous. Let's look at both sides shall we? We shall.

Glass Half Empty:
The term "out of the woods" is defined by GoEnglish.com as: when you emerge safely (out of danger) after a difficult time we say that you are "out of the woods." So my banner might be saying you are never really out of danger. You are always on the verge of something bad, even if you just go out of the previous down time. But really, isn't that how life really is sometimes. I'm not talking about this in a bad way, I'm just saying even when the chips are down you have to find the joy, but you aren't really out of the woods.

Glass Half Full:
I really like the woods. And I think a part of me stays there. The woods give me something to look forward to, and something to remember. So in a sense the optimistic way of looking at it would be to say - I may not be in the woods at this very moment, but remember that time I was, and can you even wait until we go again?

You decide how you want to look at it. I look at it and see something beautiful, ambiguous, and full of thought. Kind of like me.
