... it is what it is

I admit it, I'm a stubborn ess oh bee. But not just stubborn for the sake of being stubborn because that would simply make me an asshole. I'm stubborn because I believe in my convictions.

Recently, I was introduced to someone's life quote - IT IS WHAT IT IS.

Interesting take on life.

A friend swings your cat in a plastic shopping back from your rotating washing line. Why? No reason, it just is what it is.

You go to the fridge to pour yourself a glass of Coke, and you find the bottle empty - in the fridge! Don't freak out. It is what it is.

Now I thought there was no arguing with this very simple philosophy. I was wrong because I found an argument. Why? Because I'm stubborn and I have thought long and hard about it. I thought about it until my head hurt.

"John, you MoFo, you finished all the Coke!"

"Dude, it is what it is."

"No you selfish armpit odor, it is NOT what it is. What it WAS was full. Now it's empty. You finished it."

"Sorry dude, it is what it is."

"Get up off your sorry ass and get me some more Coke. THAT, my friend, is what it is. YOU replacing my finished Coke."

See? It is what it is is not all it was cracked up to be. The world is NOT a desolate desert of definitive endings. Because for every action, there is an equal and opposite REaction. I love the guy who came up with that one.
