Pontificating

Woke up from a bad dream. I was tossing and turning and wrapped up in the sheets. Weird.  The dream was about making the route for some work orders.

When Satan makes his pitch and you see through it, he smiles and moves on to another.  There's no anger at someone who saw through the bullshit. You cant stop a force of nature from doing its thing. There is a class to the demeanor.  When lesser beings attempt to manipulate,  they may not show you that same grace.

As a society, we are lab rats. Somewhere in the hierarchical machine, true genius moves all the everythings. Shaping, prodding and manipulating by any means necessary to get a desired result. Economics, psychology, marketing are all studies of how to make us move the machine.  Government prefers to be thought of as stupid.

People have always been asking me if I am mad or upset.   

They always ask on the 6th day.
I have 5 grey T-shirts.

Keep the peace

"God is as much in my life as in yours" says the polite atheist to the devout family member.

Peace.

Jive Walken

For years I've been working on my Christopher Walken impression. I'm sure this is of no surprise to anyone. I call it Jive Walken. 1, because it's bad, and 2. Because I imagine him doing his take on BEEGEE tunes.

So....one day I asked the boss
Can I have some time off
to work on this project
and the boss asked
how much time do you need?

& I thought about it
and said
"All of it."

"All of it?"

"Yeah. All of it. "

The boss says "Nobody ever asked for that, specifically."

Can you fill in, on a Tuesday, here and there? mumbled the boss with no quotation marks...

No.   

OK.
Good luck. Must be a helluva project. 


It's the only one I will ever have. 

trials and tribulations

I lost some feeling in my right hand about 4 months ago. So here I am, spinning toilet paper for an hour because I can't find that seam, all because the toilet paper is on the wrong side.

It was bad enough when my son had to open my straw for a smoothie the other day.

It takes all kinds

It takes all kinds.

to have real meaning
It takes all kinds, is more than just an old proverb.
It takes short, to define tall. It takes taller to re-define.
It takes confidence, to fail again. This is how we learn.
It takes bad things to know what good even is, doesn't it?
It takes knowledge of good and bad, to make a shade of grey.
It takes all kinds, to inspire innovation.
It takes all kinds to find average
it takes all kinds to know we are all exceptional
It takes all kinds, to recognize, to educate
it takes personal tragedy , to recognize the beauty in a flaw
it takes all kinds to create character
it takes all kinds to mold a person , and it takes all kinds to strengthen a person
enough to break that mold
It takes love, hate, time,
 accidents, experience,
life and death, knowledge and a lack of it
good, bad and
more and less
fame, famine, prosperity, loss
my point of view, your point of view
freedom and oppression
to foster imagination
to see beyond
It takes all kinds to see that perfection is not defined
that there is more to see beyond sight
Good day, good night
