wow, what a bad idea to go to the beach this weekend. for once the meterologists were correct in their doppler of torrential downpour. but it's hard to keep a shiny penny down for long. it's hard. not impossible. but hard. so whilst under the safe cover of my very floral umbrella or under the cover of a large canopy or under the cover of my beach resort, i had time to reflect and get to know this shiny penny on a very deep level. i learned several things. since i'm really into lists at the moment, here they are, in no particular order:
THINGS I LEARNED WHILST UNDER THE COVER OF MY VERY FLORAL UMBRELLA OR UNDER THE COVER OF A LARGE CANOPY OR UNDER THE COVER OF MY BEACH RESORT
-- life is hard.
-- often when there are raging storms outside, you can sometimes feel the grumblings of the storm inside.
-- i have some anger issues.
-- carl hiassen believes he is funny because he is so angry.
-- i believe carl hiassen is funny and angry, and sometimes at the same time.
-- there are t-shirts, barettes, nail polish, and other items that can change color in the sun, just not the ladies' bathing suits. and for you un-believers, there is a store that sells such items.
-- ripping the 22-year-old hostess a new one for asking for a cover charge is probably not very nice in the big ol' book of nice things to do to be considered a nice person in general.
-- wendy's chicken strips are delicious and deliciously crispy.
i could go on and on. but i have some "stuff" to work out because apparently i am angry about something -- i mean i'm angry about a lot of things but picking just one thing right now is just making me angrier. generally i'm a big fan of storms; don't get me wrong storms. anyway, i'm going to listen to some jesus & mary chain "happy when it rains" and change the lyrics to "angry when it rains" because i feel like doing something crazy like that. and i think i feel like being angry for just a little while longer for no particular reason other than i want to and you can't stop me and if you even try, you will some cold, wet wrath the likes of which have not been documented in history.
sweet dreams, puppies.
hm ... may the shiny penny be angry, but not angry for too long. Here is your horoscope for Monday:
ReplyDeleteThere are some arguments that you just can't win, some questions you just can't answer, some puzzles that you just can't solve. To understand and accept as much is to be liberated. Unless, of course, you happen to be inadvertently miscategorising a winnable debate or an answerable query or a solvable puzzle. In which case, you're not liberated; you are trapped in dark ignorance! You need to be very careful about what you dismiss and what you engage with this week.
