Ooooh!

Surprises aren't very surprising, I mean you can always expect surprises. So what is a surprising surprise after all? When you are thinking about getting a new shoelace for yourself and somebody tells you that you won a Mercedes, it's surprising. When you are out there hunting for rabbits and out of nowhere a tiger rips your toe off, its surprising. Finding your son in bed with his best friend, cuddling him, naked, without underwear, cuddling yet again, naked, without underwear,still cuddling, without underwear (getting boring isn't it?) is something you could have always expected. I can almost picturize you yawning in such a situation. But the fact is, you always knew stuff like this could happen, you just did not know when and where. So I ask you again, what could be a surprise you never expected? If you expect every possible event to happen, I think you would encounter very boring surprises after all.Watching an alien tap dance would be a surprising surprise but that is an extremely improbable event. So, doesn't everything add up to this- Surprises come in many shapes and sizes but it is the sizes which don't fit that make you lose your eyebrows. Life in itself is a surprise waiting to be felt, but it is us that treat life to be just like every second normal thing. It is time you start raising your eyebrows whenever someone makes you happy, when someone gets sad because you said something bad, when you get goosebumps on hearing a beautiful song. Because surprises are all that count when you try to contemplate the mysteries of life, without surprises there is nothing left to contemplate about.
