Not only is Plans a great Death Cab for Cutie album, having plans is a kind of security blanket for me. I have plans for everything. I have a five year plan, a one year plan, a one week plan, and a plan for tonight (which will more than likely be changing quite rapidly here). Planning makes me feel better about things because I feel like I have a direction. I have a road map to where I want to be and I have broken it down to smaller steps. For me, there is nothing like accomplishing my goals (which were planned out!). In the great words of Hannibal from the A-Team "I love it when a plan comes together".
The man is one who does not take comfort in planning. He has goals and ambitions but feels that planning everything out leaves room for the plans to fall through. While this is a completely rational line of thought, I struggle with it. While I agree that I cannot plan for everything (but I can certainly try!) I can plan what to do in certain events, such as job loss or an accident or a bad hair day. I feel like having these plans gives me a place to start to pick up the pieces, and a place to begin.
One day, we will be able to agree and figure this out together. I am not going to mark a day on the calendar, but I am quite certain that we can figure something out.
