Putting thought into everything you do can be tiresome- thus my advocating the do stuff because you can. It seems as though there always is a purpose or reason for why we do things. Which works ya know, but even the most random excuses work!
One of my favorite past times is negating. What is this you may ask? WELL. I'll give you some instances.
Wearing an awesome band shirt, and wearing a bow. This I take great pride in because it's like, whoa is she one of those girls who is totally hardcore and likes herself some good prog. rock, or is she a sweet lil thing who should be playing with barbies? As individuals, we tend to polarize things. Heaven forbid i love me some Coheed and Cambria, but like cool bows in my hair because it spices things up. We nev
er seek for the alternative reason, and honestly can be so off base with people strictly because of our assumptions. Its ok to feel the need to generalize because it can be what it seems. Because I am wearing a Coheed and Cambria shirt it is ok to assume that I probably listen to and like Coheed! It isn't ok to assume though that I am a depressed girl that only listens to progressive rock, like Coheed, and that I am incapable of being social. 
The element of surprise is such a fun thing to toy with.
That is honestly why I do stuff like wear bows and band shirts.
That's why I wear converse and skirts.
That's why when i wear all black I am super friendly to people.
That is why i love my ipod!
That's why I shoot guns with nails.
That's why i have a freakin faux hawk.
Because i like bands and bows and converses... you get the picture. Creating that dissonance is so fulfilling to me! I don't see why it's not ok to merge the things you like together! It's ok to like UFC and to paint your nails. Who says it isn't? I do what i want! That is the beauty of being here and now. We can choose what we like, and honestly don't have to have a reason for it.
A smile creeps on my face when I have my ipod on shuffle because its like, honestly what is next?! I have a fabulous All That Remains song playing, and then Josh Groban is next. Then a Carrie Underwood song comes on, then my Hawaiian. I find a thrill unparalleled when that happens. So back to the matter at the beginning: Thinking too much. Ir actually isn't thinking too much, it may just be having a st
range motivation and being methodical in our choices. In the bow and Coheed instance, I put thought into that because i get a kick out of it! I like confusing people and throwing it all off. It requires re-evaluation and makes us all take a step back. It allows for less judgment and more understanding, which is what we are all in dire need of right? Just consider that.
