It's a dichotomous morning.

I love dichotomous weather. When I left work this morning, half the sky was Arizona turquoise and clear and the other half was Zeta Reticulan grey and bulging with angry buckets of rain. I drove in the direction of the rain. Now the sun and the clear sky are playing catch-up. I hope to beat them to the punch line, a.k.a. I love to fall asleep when it's grey and raining.

I recently had a dichotomy in my own personality thrown into the light and I'm not happy about it because unlike most contradictions and paradoxes of my self, which I find very easy to express, I find no way for these two to mutually coexist without making me and possibly others miserable. Perhaps time will allow perspective by which I can find a transcendental route for this paradox. I can only hope. How long can I waste energy fighting myself? That's a rhetorical question.

I love that. I remember one spring day when I was in middle school when observed said phenomina. I watched a supercell roll in. I remeber seeing the reflection of the sunlight on very dark, almost black, clouds. It brought with it a severe thunderstorm, which are pretty common in Texas during the spring.

One time I flew from Atlanta to Denver, leaving right at twilight. I was chasing the sun across the country and watched the light and dark struggle all the way down.

What do you do when what you want isn't good for you? Which side wins? And do you suffer, either way?

It isn't so much that I want what isn't good for me. It's more that I've found two tendencies - I wouldn't go so far as to call them personalities - that seem to be irreconcilable.

Irreconcilable in that they cannot exist or act simultaneously? Or just contradictory in nature?
