Coming back from lunch today, I closed my door, dumped my hamper of laundry on the floor, and danced to the crashing song on my ipod. Danced with abandon—hair wild, body trashing, arms flailing about, head all a-spin.
Life is good.

What is an oxymoron?
An Oxymoron is a combination of contradictory or incongruous words, such as 'Cruel Kindness' or 'Jumbo Shrimp' (Jumbo means 'large' while Shrimp means 'small').
It is a literary figure of speech in which opposite or contradictory words, terms, phrases or ideas are combined to create a rhetorical effect by paradoxical means.
The word 'Oxymoron' is originally derived from the Greek elements: oxy = sharp and moros (moron) = dull (foolish). 'Oxymoron' is the singular form, and 'Oxymora' (or 'Oxymorons') is the plural form.
We are all oxymorons, we tend to run into all sorts of contradictions. I am an oxymoron--several apply, in fact. Solo parent. Grown-up girl. Cheerfully cynical. Open secret. But I guess being all that is still better than being just a plain moron, don't you think?

Thanks for reminding me that I should do this more often.

Isko! Yes, no matter what life throws at you, dancing with wild abandon always makes one feel good.
