Apposit(iv)e View on Things

Word of the day is apposite which is an adjective describing things that act against each other with equal force, power, or effect; to counteract.

Isn't the very similar to yesterday's word?  I agree.

So maybe today I will focus on the awesome part of yesterday's countervailing forces: Jen and David's wedding.  Let me break it down for you: first, if you were there, enough said.  However, if you were not there, then you should follow these instructions:

1. Stand with your hands over your head and joined at the palms.
2. Pick up one foot, and place it on the knee of the opposite leg.
3. Take a deep breath and clear your mind.
4. Then reach that raised foot back and kick yourself in the butt because you missed one good party.

I could tell you about it here but I try to keep this blog PG rated (and totally elitist) so suffice it to say five of these six things happened.

- The bride and groom danced as though they were jumping rope.
- Late night cookies and milk were served.
- Possible further familial romances were strengthened.
- Someone was cured of chronic back pain.
- Some guy danced with choreography using another man's tie.
- Tiger Woods hit on a cocktail waitress.

Ok at least five of those things happened, perhaps more.  So now all that is left is for Jen and David to live a long, happy life together learning how to compromise on all of life's decisions.*

Marriage, it's a positive arrangement
When apposite forces don't focus on who is "wronger"
But instead they avoid estrangement
And use the differences to make the union stronger.

* Except living north of 635 - not cool!
