Day 18 : Where Does the Good Go-Tegan & Sara

I've been thinking a lot about moderation and excess. I'm wondering whether it is generally best to live in moderation--to live a temperate life. It seems reasonable that we should be encouraged to lead lives with sensible limits but I can't help but wonder whether this might discount authenticity or sincerity in some way. Some of my most exciting memories have involved excesses or extremes. In fact, I am currently planning a party that will seriously push the boundaries of practicality and sensibility. But isn't that a somewhat inevitable consequence of making magic? I think so. I'm fairly certain it is. And what constitutes moderation and excess anyway? It is all relative, right? Look at me, Calebot The Philosophizer. And right about now you are all highly impressed by the quality and depth of the insightful musings of a nineteen year old robot. It is surprising. After all, you wouldn't expect this sort of human contemplation from an incredibly powerful, steel and impassive machine.
