And as I fling a bird against a wall, for the umpteenth time in a row, it came to me.

 Life is like Angry Birds

If someone stole your eggs what would you do? 

Buy some more?

Be thankful for the time you had with your eggs?

Or hunt them down? 

 It is kinda scary how easily people are giving up their rights. Because, they don’t wanna make a scene. Because, they don’t have the energy or gumption to fight for what is theirs. Because, they have been raised as sheep.

  No matter what the reason; it is refreshing to see that some birds still care. That some birds will go the extra mile, to stand up for what is right even if it means sacrificing themselves.

Let’s take the red bird. Yes, fairly worthless in some people’s eyes; but red bird never gives up. It will fly into a stone wall over and over and over and over until it cracks. Perseverance.

 Yellow bird is just plain ticked off. It takes aim and shifts into overdrive holding nothing back. Balls. Do you got ‘em?

 White Bird, not the smartest, but shows up for the fight every time. Loyalty.

 Black Bird, gets the job done. It will bowl through anything in its path and blow the crap out of it. Determination.

 Blue Bird, size doesn’t matter. It’s all in the strategy. These little guys know there is strength in numbers. Power.

 And the pigs. Yes, those low down pigs who take what they want, when they want it. Doesn’t matter that they didn’t earn it. Do they deserve your eggs?

 Heck no! So speak up, make a scene, and don’t take life for granted.

 Me? I’m gonna go make a Ham & Cheese Omelet.
