welcome to earth

i often wonder what goes through people's heads when they do something/say something that falls under one of those jaw-dropping catergories...i mean sure, it can be a good kind of jaw-drop..but nonetheless it is usually due to a shock or surprise...the unexpected is something i've decided to welcome with open arms..especially lately, with so many seriously unexpected things happening...i dont understand why things get so out of hand...one minute, life is a calm and tranquil place-- the sun is shining blah blah blah...but i dont really think i ever completely buy into that because it is only a fleeting glimpse of serenity...at some point in the cycle, things come crashing down..if they didnt, no one would come back to earth from their own "happy place" and you cant live your life up there every minute..in my opinion at least.
