What Colour Grass Does a Black Sheep Eat?

Post 1

Lowmankind

Sometimes I really hate being the 'black sheep' of the family.

On some occasions, it's painfully obvious that I'm not quite one of them -- I don't fit so neatly into the mould as they do. Conversely, I play by a different set of rules to them. This is great for me, until it is brought to my attention that in fact those rules infringe on theirs, and I'm outvoted three to one.

The obvious thing to do is go to another pasture; somewhere where the grass is a different colour and the shepherd has different tolerances. As a matter of fact, the obvious thing is to be one's own shepherd -- take off the sheepskin and fling it to the ground, never looking back. To venture into the world, seeking adventure and excitement, throwing caution to the wind, hang the expense, and LIVE, dammit, LIVE!

Man, I wish my job paid more.
