passive regressive
i've noticed that i've been saying "oh well" a lot lately. could this be characterized as a passive acceptance of fate? am i finally learning how to let go, and to accept that i don't have control of things? is this my way of relegating to the appropriate deities the safe transfer of whatever it is i am releasing? did that last sentence even make sense?
no, i'm just being rhetorical. i characterize it as my brain being too tired to think about it. "oh well" gives a sort of closure to anything which i can't bear to consider or any conversational dead ends i can feel myself wandering into. "oh well" saves time, space, and energy. it slices! it dices! it made me into a famous chef!
well, i want to keep writing clever commentary about this phenomenon, but the library is going to close in a little while. oh well.
