Just standing there




Squirrel was basically standing there for 30 seconds. It seemed forever. It wasn't moving. Just standing there. Like one of those movie scenes where the camera-man starts circling around the person while the person stands there in deep thought staring into space. Well, that was this squirrel. Two students on bikes rode past the squirrel and were like: what is it doing?

Definitely put a smile on my face. What an interesting squirrel. yea, well. what was it doing? standing there in the middle of a huge open space, frozen in thought.

Sometimes I get a moment like that, where I'm the one standing there frozen in time while the rest of the world keeps going. Like the NYC scene where everyone else is walking somewhere and one guy is just standing there. Maybe it's because the rest of the world isn't stopping to think, and asking themselves, well, what am I doing?

Of course stopping to think for too long isn't good either. Like the squirrel would probably be shot if it stood there for hours. Or some student would pick it up and give it a good squeeze. (because you know you've always wanted to do that)
