Today I had a very explosive episode of root rage. I was walking through some very deep sand in the forest I live in and my foot slipped under an invisible root and tripped me and I fell flat on my hands and knees. Now this is actually pretty funny considering the sand is so soft there is no way I could hurt myself and if it happens to a guy on tv with a banana peel, for some reason that is just hysterical. But instead I let fire the very worse of some very sailor-like cuss words that could no doubt be heard across the entire county. I turned around and yanked that unsuspecting root right out of the ground and through it down as hard as I could. If I had been standing, I would have stomped on it too. Then it was over. Lasted about 5 seconds. But that is the kind of thing that sends me into a rage. If a rock dares to get in the way of my toe and I were to stub it and I had a sledge hammer handy, I would pulverize that rock. Same with a garden hose, if it were to get a kink and my hatchet was nearby, the hose would be tiny hose pieces. Then it is all over. Fortunately my neighbor does the same thing. Maybe it is the water out here in the forest, I am glad it is not in the car with the handy .38 nearby...Do you think that is one more thing about myself that I should worry about? Or I could just worry about it for the hell of it because I worry about myself so well.
