Experimental Monologue

Hah, that's funny. Did you just tell me, "You have no common sense"? Hah. HAH. You, you have SO much to learn, it's not even funny. I'm more sensible than you will ever be, my friend. I know this, because you have mentioned that little phrase, that little idea that has no value, the combination of breath and teeth and lip and tongue movements that mean nothing, absolutely nothing, "Common SENSE." Do you even know what that is? Can you define it? No, no you can't. Common sense is the thing people say you don't have when you don't fit their description of normal - like, for instance, me being a klutz. No one is as spazzy and uncoordinated as me, as far as I know. Therefore, I have no common sense. Right? Wrong. There's no such thing as common sense. Just like there's no such thing as normal. Everyone is messed up in their own way, there's no standard to be set for behavioral patterns, because inside, no matter how much you deny it, you're always the antithesis to normal in everyone else's mind. Normal is a word to cause a false sense of security of what others think of you. Well, guess what? Maybe the highest state of behavior is not to care what normal is, not have a sense of normal, not care what others think of you. If you answer to a higher power[s], only think of what he/she/it/they think of you, because that's all that matters. If you're an atheist, hell, you can go scot-free, unless you do something absolutely terrible and mean and an asshole. I never said you can't be described as a kind of person, I just said you can't be normal. No one has common sense, because when you think you have an iota of it, your mind knows its already insecure about its own behavioral patters. I'm not insecure about my behavioral patterns. I'm atypical. I'm abnormal. In fact, I'm anomalous. I'm proud of it; I enjoy being awesome in my honest state of self and how I carry myself. I'll attempt to look pleasing, sure, because I don't like being unpleasant. I think common sense, really, is the understanding that life is about making a good impact on humanity somehow, however small or insignificant. It is something that everyone has. But some people refuse to listen to it.
