Employee Dilligent a is Rick Ranger



Why did you start at the end?  Most people tend to start at the beginning and proceed linearly to the end.

This is the last line of the story

And that's why Ranger Rick is a diligent employee.

Ranger Rick brought a smile to many a camper's face.  Many attended the park just to be around him.   Some, however, came to the park to buy drugs from the other employees.   These were called "bad" campers.   The people that came to the park to see Ranger Rick, were the "good" campers.   If you go to the park, you too should be a "good" camper.

Ranger Rick always told the campers his philosophy on life.   He would say things like:   "You life is a gift and is precious--appreciate every moment."  Ranger Rick would also construct shrines around the campground to honor nature and help the campers appreciate the sacredness of life.

While other employees failed to collect the campsite fees from campers, Ranger Rick always collected all fees to support his organization.

While the other park employees took drugs on their lunch break, Ranger Rick ate his organic tomato, sprouts and cheese sandwich in silence.  He wanted to always be alert, in the event that any natural resource came under attack from an external source.

Ranger Rick's passion was his job.  He was a park ranger with the Department of Resources of Natural Things.

I am now going to start the end part of the story.  Its about Ranger Rick.  By the way, the title to this blog is actually reversed.   It helps to read it backwards, just like this story.

You are now at the middle of the story.   In the end of the middle part of the story, I must tell you that I am not sure what the band name Passion Pit means.  Although, as you can tell, I like to think about it.  

Of course, if you are into punk rock, there is always the mosh pit where all the slam dancers bounce and contact each other with great fervor and enthusiasm.  The pit could be the location where all the passion from all entities commingles into a giant orgiastic frenzy.

Then again, a pit could be the end of passion.  The chasm where all passion falls off the ledge and disappears forever into the bottomless abyss.   I don't like this interpretation.

Can a pit have passion?  I thought passion, like an emotion, is fluid and not solid.

One thought I had was that the name Passion Pit implies that the music represents the essence of passion.  Its very pit.  An apricot has a pit.   It's at the center.  Its the seed that causes it to grow.   In this idea, Passion Pit implies the pit, center, or essence of passion.

Passion Pit is the juxtaposition of two seemingly the dissimilar words: passion and pit.

I've been intrigued by the name Passion Pit.  What does it signify?

Passion Pit is the name of a band. 

If all goes well, I may see Passion Pit in a couple of weeks.

This is the first line of the story.
