Have you ever felt just out of mental sorts... where the jumble of thoughts running through your mind once spilled will be so desultory that Mitchell Feigenbaum himself would say "Dude! Can you get any more random?"
It has been going on for a few weeks now, nailing down a specific thought for me right now is seriously like nailing pudding to the wall. It probably comes from having 27+ ice cubes in the fire at a time and trying not to let any of them melt.
My insomniac nature has been in full swing as I continually find myself waking in the wee hours of the morning, when the blessed and civil among us would be better served trying to find light leaks in ones eyelids. And the causes of these episodes are as random and meaningless as the tangled balls of Cotton doubling as thoughts running though my restless Velcro mind. I was only slightly comforted, as I lay there counting dolphin safe sheep, of a particularly poetic passage written recently by one of my favorite bloggers describing so elegantly my inconvenient experiences of recent nights. He quotes:
"Woke early, couldn’t sleep. Restless, head filled with half-formed thoughts and shapeless anxieties. Things which you stuff away in a box in the course of the day, but which peek out and steal away in the early morning hours when the guards doze at their posts. Sometimes I can stuff them back away and return to lethe..."
Oh to be able to wax as poetic as he.
But alas my words, are mine, the feces of my overflowing mind. I wonder oft if I'm writing too little in an effort to exorcise these slumber stealing thoughts, or maybe too much, constantly trying to string together reasonable and logical syllogistic passages to out maneuver those of opposing ideals. A jump ball!
So what are some of the random musings spinning aimlessly in my blendtec mind?
- Current politics is annoyingly juvenile, reported by preschool media!
- Barack Obama is Black... so figgn'n what!!! Our nation needs to get off the "Race" horse! That means everyone!!! White people, Black people, off auburn people, green... just stop!!!! It's Bovine Scatology at its worst! Diversity training is BS-- how about a little Unity Training!!!
- Think before you vote please. Is he/she qualified to work in your company? Then how is he/she qualified to run the free world!
- Is it possible to "Quickly Meander?"
- Big screen LCD TV's tuned to sports or Bikini contests with a bar furnished with comfy leather chairs .. should be mandated by LAW! To be in EVERY department store's Womens' section! With score cards in a magazine basket next to each seat! That oughta take the sting out of trying to find a balance between Being a "Man", Being a "Good Husband" and being just plain "Gayishly-"Yes-Dear-Let's-Go-Shopping-while-the-Masters-is-on"-with- your-onions-in-her-hand-Whimpy!"
- Although she does look awesome in that dress!!!!
- Vertical stripes on size 17 women's pants are not "Slimming!" Please don't buy into the marketing! Buy into a gym membership!
- There's only one kind of Kenmore dryer belt... so when it breaks don't waste the 14 minutes trying to find a model number! Despite being prompted for one by the lady behind the parts counter at Sears! seriously!!! THERE IS ONLY ONE!
- Dryer belt stores close at 5! Liquor Stores close at Midnight, coincidence?.... nope!
- 78 today... Snow tomorrow!... Gotta feel for the tourists in Denver this week. We?.... Hell we're used to it!
- The weather matches my brain!
- Mixing peanuts and Exlax is the Lazy Man's way to itch a hemorrhoid! But it sure makes a funny sound in practice, though!
Now, with troubling thoughts like that, how'd you sleep?
Welcome to my world, John! Although I think you just barely scratched the surface. Enjoy your stay. I hope for your sake (and mine!), it is not long.
