No. Ironically. I wanted a Dr. Pepper but my boss said a Delivery truck was arriving soon, so It could arrive at any time or be an hour or so. He thought I should stay at work and wait.
So then I was like, #YOLO and left.
I felt like I was 18 all over again. Then I realized that I used to do that for everything. And now I wait, ask for permission, offend no one, and place my plans before the plans of those around me.
I don't want to be him. I don't want to wait for other people to make a choice for me, when I could simply take the initiative.
I used to break all the rules, because I had something to do worth breaking rules. Now I wonder how I lost it.
I've become so inoffensive and vanilla. I'm accommodating and compromised.
Well, I'm tired of it.

That almost looks real. I had to watch that a few times, just to check. Seriously tho, if it was real- that would good street-cred. Look pretty badass haha.

So... Then you went to get your Dr Pepper and came back in time still? How did it feel?
*is literally drinking a can of Dr Pepper currently*
Thank you for remind me that ISIS was originally the goddess of the Egyptians. She is the goddess of Magic and Life.
Such an irony in today's times, isn't it?
It felt like the Matrix. Like I stopped the bullets.
I'm not typically a DR. Pepper person per-se, however on this occasion it struck me as something cool and refreshing that I had forgotten the taste of completely.
I've always been more
1. Iced Coffee beverage in a can
2. Cheap Punch
3. Mt. Dew
4. Sweet Tea
5. Coke
...everything else.
467. Nile River water.
468. Diet Coke.
469. Yellow Snow.

That is so awesome that you had a moment clairty of being intentional in your choice not to do what you've been doing automatically, but instead listened to the other voice in you, the more free-thinker in you. That's neat. Glad you experienced that.
That sounds exactly like the subject of one of the TED videos I watched the other night (and I've only watched 3 or 4 in my entire life). There were a couple others I watched that night too and they were all pretty good. Here they are staring with the one your post reminds me of..

If there was a Carbonated Prune Juice flavor of Cough syrup, I believe it would be indistinguishable from DP.

So basically what you're trying to say is Dr Pepper is laxative and a cheap drug in one?
Today morning I had the butterfly song running in my head. I don't know why I was reminded of it suddenly. But I like the song. 
The Butterfly song (If I were a butterfly)
Words and music by Brian M. Howard
If I were a butterfly
I'd thank you Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree
I'd thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea
I'd wiggle my tail and I'd giggle with glee
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
CHORUS
For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were an elephant
I'd thank you Lord by raising my trunk
If I were a kangaroo
You know I'd hop right up to you
If I were an octopus
I'd thank you Lord for my fine looks
But I just thank you Father for making me, me
If I were a wiggly worm
I'd thank you Lord that I could squirm
If I were a fuzzy, wuzzy bear
I'd thank you Lord for my fuzzy, wuzzy hair
If I were a crocodile
I'd thank you Lord for my great smile
But I just thank you Father for
making me, me

To me exceptional is -
* To be bold, courageous and passionate about your ideals
* To not give into herd mentality
* To be unafraid of what others think of you, their opinions are not before God
* To see the depth in others.
* To push for the truth, to see the narcissism behind faux spirituality
* To look forward to correction, to pain, to growth
As I get older though, and more people grow up and get more set in their ways, my greatest fear is that the numbers of people who would get that depth and that passion would only dwindle.
That outlier section will always be lonely.

I sometimes feel like I am Danny Taggart, in Ayn Rand's Atlas Shrugged. Having to fight the rot in the environment around me, the rot in church, the rot in office, the rot everywhere. Sometimes I just want to shrug and move off. Other times I want to stay and fight. Teach me what is right to do, Lord.
