"If we couldn't laugh, we couldn't live." --Zedwaldo

"Circle of Confusion"

From my journal:

    It is another slow beginning. Yesterday was so rushed, but with nothing to show for the effort. Well, not a whole lot. A few things here and there got tended to, but that is how it went. I spent my attention here, then there. As soon as another thought came up, I went. Down with the old (of momentary import) and up with the new (of expedient concern). Six minutes later, something came knocking at my door. "Hi... I’m Blue." "I just came out of it." ...and then the situation had changed once again.
    On it went, throughout the day. Just like that. Work piled up here. Work piled up there. Soon there was work in progress everywhere. The stacks of paper took on a life of their own. And I could swear I heard whispers under stack number 17 and 22. Collaboration! That’s what was happening. A conspiracy to deform. Transformation was well underway as the whispers were joined by a murmur or three. My own thoughts joined in this blending of dementia, mixing and hiding the truth of the matter. A call to action... false alarm. A rustling in the corner. Only imagination. Was that a creak or a groan just to my left. No! It’s there on the right, behind that chair. Whipping it away, I reveal a tranquil corner. "I am innocent!" the solitary Dust Bunny cries. "It was pile number 36 and book 42 that sent me here," it pleaded with wavering voice, "don’t blame me, I’m in the dark!" Turning quickly I caught a shudder, then watched in horror as they all crashed down. Books and papers and bills and receipts, mixing and tumbling all over my feet. Down from my desk and onto the floor. Only the waste baskets stood tall and ready. "Use me you fool, and clean this mess up," demanded the business model, while the one in the kitchen began tapping it’s foot. The room began to spin, and pulling itself down. The paperwork reached for and caught my feet. In no time at all my hands were tied. "Good God, what went wrong?" were my last words as I sank.
    "If you won’t manage your paperwork, then your paperwork must manage you," came the reply as I drifted to black. Just then I woke up, with my head on my keyboard. I looked around and saw piles of work, waiting to be done. Deja Vu?

Poetry

Relax... You're On!

You can't force this,
   it has to come
      "Au' Natural."

The gift of inspiration
   takes place on
      a forgotten whim.

Tune in The Life Channel,
   and adjust your senses
      for reception.

Let it happen easily;
   Soon you will become
      a part of it.

JOKES?

A woman, trailed by a dozen kids, was crossing the street against the light. A driver swerved to keep from hitting part of the mob and yelled at the woman, "Hey, don't you know when to stop?"
The woman made a wry face and answered, "They're not all mine!"

(stolen from Milton Berle's Private joke file)

As Moses said to God, "Let me see if I have it right - the Arabs get the oil and we get the right to cut off the tips of our what?"
