Effin' Butterflies

Well here we are. Right where the fates have landed us. I am here because of all the choices I have made in my life. Right or wrong, good or bad, happy or sad, sober or drunk.....and I tell you what, I wouldn't change a second of it if given the chance!

They say never settle for anything less than butterflies, I am not sure who "they" are but "they" are right. Now, don't think I am just talking about the butterflies that come around when you meet someone. Just like in nature, butterflies come from all kinds of variety of moths aka reasons.

Sometimes you get them when you have a job interview, or when you find out you are pregnant, or that your favorite football team is coming to town and a buddy might have an extra ticket for you. And sometimes they come when you find out your Jr high crush is going to meet you on a random road trip with your friends. I will get back to you on that story later....stick around it is pretty good.....

Now, these butterflies can vary in size too...anywhere from little tiny ones that feel a little like gas bubbles all the way to full grown falcons that feel like they are gonna rip your guts out. The last one normally is accompanied by cold sweats, heart palpitations and a law enforcement agent of some sort.

These sneaky little fuckers don't just hang out in your gut either. They can be in your chest where they make you feel like you forgot how to breath. In your throat where you are confused if you are choking or you are producing enough saliva to drown a small mammal. Sometimes these little fellas travel south past your tummy into the dumpster of your intestines. They make you feel like you ate a burrito from the Allsup's gas station. Don't know if you want to shit or puke. Either way it is not pleasant!

I can't say that I don't like having butterflies because to be honest they haven't gone away in a couple of weeks....but these are the good ones....the ones that make your heart smile. I don't see them leaving for a little bit longer....and that gets me thinking....do butterflies shit?
