Life is Bizarre???

I was reading on someone's FB and it had mentioned that life is bizarre. At first I agreed just because life is bizarre. But I don't know if it's the hidden etymologist in me but I started playing with the word bizarre...thinking about Bizarre Foods on the travel channel, all the bazaar's (actually just flea markets) that my mom dragged me to in Germany. Then it hit me...

Life is Bizarre and Life is a Bazaar.

Life is bizarre in that it is unexpected and sometimes weird. Things happen and we can't explain them. It's just the way life is...heck, if everything was as expected and nothing ever surprised us...it may not be as exciting (although sometimes I prefer the less exciting...refer to my Math... blog).

However, life is a bazaar! I never realized it when I was a kid but now I do. Even though I loathed getting up early on a Saturday morning to go rummage through someone else's junk at a fleamarket in Germany, I secretly enjoyed looking at all the stuff and finding some good deals! And that's how life is. There are so many opportunities out there. You just have to find the deal that best suits you. And don't ever take anything for face value. Do a little research if you can.

Not sure where this blog ended up but I did have a good idea when I started. So, I guess you always have to be mindful of opportunities that come up in life. However, they may not always be as great as the "seller" is saying it is. But you may find a treasure amongst all the trash...keep your eyes peeled!
