Speaking of Humanity....

It'll be a short post this evening.

Today was a very weird day. Normally, when I say that phrase, I'd normally launch into some diatribe about a series of somewhat amusing or unfortunate events that occurred during the course of my day. And while there were a couple of odd happenings today, they weren't anything that I would really describe as "weird". Yet this still managed to be one of the weirdest days I have had in a very, very long time.

I'm still a little perplexed by it, honestly. And by little, I mean a lot. I have yet to figure out where my reaction came from, because how I reacted to the event is totally and completely against my nature. It's amazing, really, how the simplest of events can have such a profound impact. What happened, you ask, that made me so utterly confused that I am unable to figure out how to describe my thought processes? Why, it's quite simple, really. Somebody showed me a photograph.

And now you're laughing at me. Yes, yes. Your reactions are apparent to me. For I am all knowing. But seriously, a photograph has made me re-evaluate my view of my view of the world. Not that a re-evaluation of ones views and beliefs is a bad thing, but it certainly is a little.... drastic?

And what, you ask, photograph could possibly make you question your world view so much? Well, I'd normally post the picture, but since it was somebody else's picture, uploading it to this blog would be claiming it as my own property, which it is not, so I can't do that. But I can do one step lower, and just post a direct link to the picture. May I present, ladies and gentlemen, the picture that seriously made my day really weird: Right Here.

Awww, you say. Ain't that cute. How could that make your day weird? Well, let me tell you. My reaction, when I saw that, was something I did not expect. My reaction was, pretty much, word for word as transcribed here.

........I want that.

And I can't figure out for the life of me why I want that. It's totally out of character for me. I've prided myself on my dislike of "miniature humans", as I call them, but I want that one... gah, I'm confused.

Oh, the humanity.
