Most of the time, The Sherby57 Project is here to explain the deeper meaning behind Sherby57 posts. Today we take a look at some of the true life tales that we’ve published over the years, that don’t have a mystical component, but can be used as useful parables for living your life.
The first such story is, Pound Shop Nightmare, from 7th June 2007, an account of a terrible encounter I had in a pound shop. What does it mean when somebody doesn’t know what the cost of an item is in a shop where every item costs one pound? Was the old woman stupid, or was she testing my existential mettle? Perhaps her plaintive cry of, ‘How much does it cost?’, had a deeper meaning. It’s something to ponder for sure. Did she mean to purposefully mean to insult me by mistaking me for a member of staff? Or was there a ulterior motive to her mistake? We’ll never know for sure, but it has given us all plenty to think about.
The next entry comes from 9th August 2007, and is helpfully entitled, True Life Tales. These evenets did not personally happen to me, but it is a story that I’ve heard someone actually tell. It’s a seemingly pointless story in which someone falls off a jet ski, lands in the water, and then gets out. The thing to ponder in this tale is why the person felt the need to tell this anecdote to a crowded room.
Finally, for today, we look at a post from the same day called Best. Car. Ever. This is a car that I used to see on the way to Sherby57 Towers in a morning, and felt compelled to document its existence. The post, and its photos, speak for themselves. It’s a lesson in how you can transform the mundane in to the magical, with the help of some simple stuffed toys.
The big message to take for today’s post is that you need to go out and live your life, it’s the only way that you will learn.
