64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, hey girl, magenta! and she's like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, no - I want magenta!"
-John Mayer


So here I was, browsing the net for a good quote that INSPIRED me for a new post. I just so happened to fall on this one and I knew right away, this was the one. I told myself  "Damn DancingThruLife, if you don't write a post about this, you'll regret it." So here I am, ready to discuss crayons with you lovely internet folk. Now, for those of you who have no idea what this is talking about and think I'm on crack, don't worry. There is more to it than crayons and what color the crayons are and how many their are.


So, we've all met that person that's a total superficial jerk. Right? Like they aren't all there, or just too into themselves to care about anything but them. Am I right? If you're reading this and thinking "Nope, never met someone like that." Then I'm sorry to say, but you're probably one of those jerks. These "jerks" are the box of 8-crayons. Making sense yet?


I, like John Mayer, like to think of myself as a 64-crayons box with the fancy little sharpener. Sure, I've got me some crayons missing, but if I didn't I'd be perfect, and newsflash, NOBODY is perfect, no matter how hard they try to be. Unfortunately for me, I always meet those 8-crayons boxes. You would think I attract the 64's right? But they always say, "opposites attract." Now, I'm not one to quote someone as "they", but really, who said that for the very first time? Nobody really knows. 


At the end there, John Mayer says he wants magenta, but she's going on about her purple. In those little 8-color boxes, have you ever found MAGENTA? Nope. Its always purple. Sure, magenta and purple are pretty much the same but just because they are alike, should you settle for purple just because you can't find the magenta you want?


Once again, I haven't made sense. If you're sitting there passing judgement about my sanity, then you may want to stop reading this blog. Cause guess what? I'm always like this.


Peace&Love.
