Marching under the banner of a Rat's Anus
There are days when one just has to throw reason out the window and feel free to make an idiot of themselves, not to such extremes as lighting your hair on fire while sorting newspapers at a gas station - but just a simple step outside the boundaries of safe routine. I've affectionately decided to term these days "Marching under the banner of a Rat's Anus days" or MUBRA days for short, it is actually a term inspired (IE stolen) from a Mitchel and Webb skit. The goal of such days is to proudly wear the banner of idiocy in the face of ones own inhibitions as well as the social norm (to an extent). Oh I should mention the nifty banner I made, it should translate as 'Victory from a Rat's Ass'... poetic - isn't it? Ah Latin, you make everything sound classy... err, getting back to topic, too often it seems like one can get stuck in a rut of life, living the daily grind and not taking any chances for fear of mistakes and consequences. Being mindful of the consequences of your actions is a prerequisite for living among other people (heck even non-people), though when one starts passing up opportunities and especially chances to become happier because of self regulation... well, that's what MUBRA days are for.
Honestly, it won't always work out, more to the fact you'll open yourself up to things one usually tries their hardest to avoid and depending on how much of an idiot you can be, it won't be very pretty. Still for all - that's life, the sad truth is only by feeling pain can we become stronger, protecting oneself from hurt can work... but you won't be able to grow or move very far in life's journey. Of course there is the off chance that a day of idiocy will open doors that you never thought existed... still haven't had one of those yet, but I've decided to at least try to be an idiot a little more often.
So every now and then march proudly under the banner of the Rat's Anus, you probably won't win too many battles under it, but once in a while it is a good thing since you know what they say, 'you learn more from losing than winning'.
