Sudden thoughts, second thoughts, and things for a moments thought. Or not.

That’s right, it’s Friday and I’m starting up the weekly DDD. You may cheer now.

I’m oh so very tired because of my lack of sleep… 7-8 hours I tell you, is a good thing. My lemon-lime drink isn’t natural. Got off work early today because we were told we were worthless. I’ve never been so happy to be worthless… I found out my insurance would only rise $20 in conjugation with purchase of a new car. Who said peanuts aren’t space worthy? I may crash early like an old, grumpy, sleepless man. Aside from the old part, it’s all pretty much true. “Natural” shouldn’t have high fructose corn syrup. 21 isn’t old either… YAWN. I like pants. Don’t you think it’s ironic that ‘believe’ has the word ‘lie’ right in the middle of it? LIES!

And that’s all for this weeks Dot Dot Dot.
Goodbye.

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender, be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even to the dull and the ignorant, they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love, for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass.

Take kindly to the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world.

Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

Sudden thoughts, second thoughts and things for a moment's thought. Or not.

BABY GUMMY BEARS! I like penguins. I drew as stool and a bookcase the other day. I’m tired, and I have an inspection tomorrow. Good news: I don’t have to do my physical readiness test tomorrow! “I called him up, and I said, ‘Chief, You’re going to Iraq.‘ And then I laughed and laughed and said, ‘Chief? You can stop crying now… I was going to say I’ll give you a chance to get out of all of this.‘ and he said ‘Really?‘ and then I said, ‘Yes Chief, of course. Pick a number between one and ten.‘ He didn’t think it was funny.
‘Four.‘
‘No. I guess you’re going to Iraq.‘
‘What was the number?‘
‘Four. I just thought you would never guess the right number so I thought I’d give you a false sense of hope.‘ And then I laughed and laughed again.”
LLAMA, LLAMA, DUCK! So does anyone else think it’s ironic that Believe has “lie” in the very middle of it? Stop the TRIBAL DRUMMING! This just in: A scientific study has recently come out that shows 100% of people who eat pickles die. Tada! We’re done.
