Saw a squirrel. This is the random connection my brain made. I may need help. (This is for the 5 people other than Ellen Muth that will get this.)
If you can relate - you understand. If you can't - you don't. The world is really just one giant collection of overlapping Venn universes: some are big, some are small - and some are very exclusive.
A glimpse into my dreams. Trumpet players are on a skyscraper rooftop. They start playing baseball sans gloves. A little girl appears, chases after the ball and goes over the edge. I think about following her - but instantly wake up with this thought.
I had the opportunity to meet Fred Rogers when I was in college. At the time, I had the same concentration as his undergraduate degree - Music Composition. Not sure he would approve of this - but since I'm on my way to Hell anyway.
It was a quiet Sunday. I assume Baby Trump had his phone taken away so he didn't nuke Oklahoma. So another Tulsa Rally. I'm ignoring canon - Snuffleupagus looks like an extinct GOP mammoth.
I started HBM as a unique way to historically document the "end times". But now I wonder - do we even deserve to be remembered? Is there at least one person on this planet worth saving?
For a brief time I was here - and for a brief time I mattered. (Harlan Ellison)
The problem with speaking in metaphor? What about those times it is just a story with no deeper meaning? Sorry, Scott. Bored with NCIS? How about helping with a "Quantum Leap" reboot or a "Romance, Romance" revival?
I once gave a speech debating the morality of swatting a fly. Sadly, I can now properly empathize with a smooshed bug. Regarding the Borg collective: talking about normal, everyday simple things with someone sounds nice. How do I sign-up?
The third time I met death was age 5. Snuck in the neighbor's yard to pet puppies. They stopped biting when my head hit the driveway and I was knocked out. Woke up in ER. Got a sucker. It was orange. My life? It was all stolen time.
Part 1: An Assumption. Is a one-sided dressing down really a "talk"? Sometimes my humor can fail to adequately emphasize underlying meaning - making the superficial way too blatant. Sorry.
When you are programmed to search for "why"? Life is like trying to read a novel written in an alien language - with every other page missing.
Yeah, I don't think anyone stranded on an uncharted island is looking to be rescued anytime soon.
{B} I am a pure, anti-social introvert. I do not need people. But I will behave like an extrovert. If motivated. By something. Or someone. Which is why I have confused many, many people throughout my life.
My soul is trending toward worthless. If I could short the market, I'd go "all in" and bet on my earthly essence abruptly ceasing in the not-too-distant future. Free tip - hold on misery and long on suffering.
If it has people, Heaven sounds like Hell to me. Pet afterlife is where I want to go! Which is where my parent's dog went Easter weekend. For my dad? He lost my mom all over again. And it took me a week. To get this.
I enjoy chaos. It's an opportunity to learn, grow - find yourself. I once moved 300+ miles for a promotion. On my first day? Hiring boss tells me it's his LAST day. And new boss hands me a book: Who Moved My Cheese?
(b) My thoughts are all out of sequence. THIS was supposed to be after "Of Dawn and Dew", but before "Catastory". Either you're closing your eyes to a situation you do not wish to acknowledge ... my first show as a musician.
Demographic shifts that impact the balance of power usually move glacially slow. See Israel or Northern Ireland as examples. But can they change in an instant? I guess we'll find out. Or, should I say, most of us will?
Once upon a long long ago. We went to bed. With maybe four TV channels (ABC,CBS,NBC+INDs). And the next day we had this weird thing called "cable". Good, bad? Well - like all technology. Different. #YCDTOTV
