Milestones Are Just Rocks
This is my 100th post. I’d like to highlight some of my amazing accomplishments since I began doing this shit some 7 months ago, but I have accomplished nothing through the blog at all.
I haven’t hurt myself badly or been arrested, and as always, solace can be taken in that.
So here is some jumbled nonsense commemorating the previous 99 instances of jumbled nonsense. At the very least, my spelling is beginning to return to pre-Katrina levels (although having spelled canceled wrong about 15 times today is humbling).
My weekend, serving as a microcosm for my life, sucked. I hardly even have any tree left and our show on 11.26 got canceled (through no fault of our own). And excluding eternal life in heaven, doing that show was the only thing I was really looking forward to. I joke. But as always, when it rains it pours. You’ve got to remain positive (read, drunk) in the face of adversity.
Once again, Nike has shown us the way with their Dwayne Wade commercials. "If you fall down 7 times, get up 8." Huh?
I don’t understand the "woe is me" outlook. I’ve always been much more of a "whoa is me" type of cat.
Speaking of which, I’m sure everyone remembers both Black Rob (of "Whoa" fame) and Joey Lawrence (of "Blossom" fame). I always wanted to do a re-mix of "Whoa" with Joey Lawrence saying the "like whoa" part in the voice of his character from Blossom. I’ve done a lot of drug and it sure makes for amusing tangents.
I was reading "Timequake" by Kurt Vonnegut last week and there was an interesting line which caught my attention. So this king asked his wise men to come up with a sentence that would be true at all times. They came back to him with the sentence "And one day this too shall pass."
I like it as a catch-all because it sufficiently explains away the negative AND the positive aspects of any situation.
Thanks to everyone that has read the blog, forwarded it to someone, linked me or commented in the superfluous comment section. If you ever write anything, I’ll be more than glad to read it.
Milestones are just rocks. And one day this too shall pass.
