Froodian Lingerie
I didn't sleep well last night. I had one of those dreams where you're trying every which way to get a particular task done. Everyone in the dream is simulataneously trying to get in the way and make it as difficult as possible.
I tried one way... didn't work. Tried another... no joy. Attempt three.... failure. Eventually I just worked myself into REM hysteria (not a wet one about Michael Stipe, we're not talking about that dream. Focus, why doncha?)
I was dreaming about blogging.
I'm not calling this a bad dream. They say when you're learning a second language, once you dream in it, the hard part is over. Is that what this means, the tricky part is past? Worrying about the template is gone? Double-checking my end tags a bit of history? Searching for another clever way to say my neighborhood is the ballsack of Satan's pet goat will just trip off the keyboard/tongue?
Will I move on to heavier subjects, like war and global hunger and Sally Struthers? Will I devote myself to detailed, insightful commentary of military actions? Will I fisk like nobody's ever fisked before?
Am I going to become introspective, seeking the hidden truth? Am I going to meditate on my inner lama? Am I going to question our basic spiritual tenets while suggesting seventeen new ways to polish your aura?
Shall I devote my writing to good causes, higher purposes, charitable notions? Shall I soapbox post after post on the proper way to feel/be/think/eat? Shall I mention only happy thoughts and up-with-people topics?
Is this going to be my goal? Seriousness? Meaningfulness? Good works and altruismness?
Nah.
I find it particulary funny that it took me seven freekin' tries to get the picture to come up.... because I'd forgotten an end tag.

A: I am willing to look your end tags over repeatedly.
Q: Searching for another clever way to say my neighborhood is the ballsack of Satan's pet goat will just trip off the keyboard/tongue?

A: 9 out of 10 spiritual landlards demand their tenets Pledge to keep their auras polished, though hire contractors to take care of the common auras.
Q: Shall I devote my writing to good causes, higher purposes, charitable notions?
A: I am unfamiliar with any of these - maybe ask da goddess - I hear she's got a rack the size of a Goodwill van.

Posted by: Ted at October 15, 2003 06:21 PMThanks, Ted, but I'm pretty shallow.. the most spiritual fulfillment I can take is a shoe sale at Nordstroms.
Mmmmm, pumps......
