I wanna be a distinctive nut.

Someone implied the other day that I may be nuts. Because I espouse an unusual philosophy. A philosophy that she doesn't hear others sharing. Therefore, I must be nuts. Because I'm living outside the mainstream. I guess if that's the way she defines nuts, then I am nuts. By her definition. To tell the truth, I don't mind being nuts. Because that may well be the very thing that makes me sane. I have no doubts about it. I'm me. Even if I am defined as nutty. And that's all I wanna be. Nutty me. Doesn't bother me in the least. Actually, the worst fate that I could suffer is to be recognized as very much like others. My aim is to be a distinctive nut. Not just a mere pecan or almond or coconut. --Jim Broede
