Thought Stew

Ever need a good laugh? Challenge a sparkly random brain like mine to blog.

My head is so full all of the time that I figured it would be easy to reach up and pluck a thought from my cranial brambles and commit it to page .. Screen? Whatever ..

Decidedly NOT so.

It should have meaning ... It should be deep ... It should answer the questions of the universe, cure cancer, feed the hungry and house the homeless.

No, wait ...

It should be funny ... It should be spontaneous ... It should be bold and in your face 

Hold on, better still ...

It should be .. Should be .. Should ..

This is ridiculous. I enjoy (for the most part) the randomness in my skull. Best to just stick with what I do best and stop getting tangled in 'should' and deep meaning and esoteric existentialism. Those things might happen ... They might not.

The point of doing this blog was to get uncomfortable, shake things up and see where the journey takes me. (Mission accomplished) This, like experiencing life, can't happen if I'm hung up on semantics. It's kinda supposed to be fun.

Essentially, when I'm fussing about silliness then I'm missin all the good stuff.

Take, for example, this evening. I'm fussing over what to write and it's sucking all the joy out of even writing at all. So I throw it to the creative collective that is my inner circle. I ask them to give me words .. Any words .. Just need an assist and a jump start. Together they gather their vast educations and staggering vocabularies and lifetimes of experience .. And spit back the following:

Bacon, reality tv, puppies, kittens, grocery shopping, pitifully lacking sex lives, metaphoric dust bowls, the time change, rainbows, chicken fried steak, alka seltzer, governor Rob Ford, The Beatles, Bronies (shiver),
.. In the library
.. With a candle stick
.. By Ms Peacock

Thats right. THIS is the finest our educational system has to offer up.
(Thank you for your expert tutelage)
And it's freakin awesome. WAY better than all the "meaningful" crap I'd planned to impart upon the world.

And I got it.
Just stir your thought stew, shut up about it and write.
Dont miss out on the awesomeness of rainbows and bacon while being so consumed with whether or not this silly little blog will advance the cause of endangered salamanders.

Maybe it will. But not tonight. Tonight is just word soup. And that's cool too.
