Some Days #3

 

Some days are weeker than other days.

 

note: daydreaming usually involves “one day“, “some day“, and “one of these days” on one of those days.

double note: when you’re having one of those days … it’s really one of these days, but you just wish you were far away.

triple note: “January Day January Day. Everything is fine. Over.“

quadruple note: I may have put on more than one or two entries today. Maybe I’m trying to bury that bloody snow post … or my dinner is taking longer to cook than usual.
… usual is pretty quick to cook usually.
You know what I’m going to say if you ask what the usual tastes like, so don’t ask.

quintuple note: when I put up pictures of snowmen I get all poetical:

so here is today’s …

While the Americans Dream,
the Belgian Waffles,
and the Indians Curry:
the Turkish Delight.

sextuple note: the other Some Days are still here  and here.

septuple note: I found my happy thought thinking about dinner: it’s hungry too … I guess.

I was going to tell you that you were full of crap and let you know how full you were of it at this moment, but came across this instead:

Not In Particularly Important

 

Concentrating on thinking about nothing in particular requires generally focussing on everything … or nothing … or something like this or that or these or those or those other ones.

 

note: I think all the stuff in the photo is systematically organized in no particular order.

double note: blank pieces of paper are an invitation.

triple note: sometimes not focussing on anything at all results in clear thoughts … or sleep.
… it leaves me with my mouth open either way.

quadruple note: disorganizational skills are sometimes a good thing to have; especially when walking into a mess.

quintuple note: just give me the in particulars … that’s all I need.

sextuple note: “satisfactory” is an unsatisfying synonym for “tidiness“.

septuple note: most factories are unsatisfactories.

.

notes to myself #109

You’re more tidy than clean; but tidiness is next to cleanliness and that’s right next to Godliness, so you are almost Buddha maybe.

Meeting Points

 

I’ll meet you by the bums outside the train station.

 

note: I wonder if this statue ever gets toilet papered as a prank.

double note: I thought this was a tree, but then I noticed that there were no limbs.

.

notes to myself #108

You like taking photos of statues for some reason.

Evidense … Maybe

 

Sometimes snow isn’t very good at covering up stuff.

 

note: “Mom! Jason’s been making snow angels outside again!“

double note: “No, I haven’t seen your cat.“

triple note: sorry if this one’s a bit macabre. I carry myself away sometimes.

.

notes to myself #107

Don’t play with the Robson’s down the road: they put rocks in their snowballs.

Money Making Scheme #17

 

I’m going to sell mints called “Mo’ Mints“.

They will just be regular mints; but a slick ad campaign should be able to make them crazy popular.

 

POSSIBLE CATCH PHRASES:

“Make the Mo’ Mints last forever … don’t share them with anyone … and buy bulk.”

“I’ll do that … only for a Mo’ Mint.”

“Your father will be home Mo’ Mintarily… we better eat without him.”

“He went crazy for a Mo’ Mint.”

“I’ll do anything for a Mo’ Mint.”

“It was over in a Mo’ Mint.”
” That’s a long time!”

“It only took a Mo’ Mint for my son to do his homework.”

 

 If I can work it out with those heartburn people maybe there will be Mo’ MinTums!

 

note: oooo aaaah Precious Mo’ Mints video by The Three Degrees.

double note: I’m sure the premiere of this product will be a Mo’ Mintus occasion.

triple note: I only used 3 different brown pencil crayons to color those boxes. For the bottom one I just pushed down harder to achieve a different shade of brown. I wonder if other people know that you can do that?

quadruple note: Bono must be really super small to get “Stuck in a Mo’ Mint” … they are just regular sized mints. I’m sure the TV commercial people could make a giant one for him to get stuck in though.

quintuple note:  Money Making Scheme  #1 and #2 and #3 and #4 and #5 and #6 and #7  and #8  and #9  and #10  and #11  and# 12  and# 13 and #14  and #15  and #16  are still scheming.

sextuple note: I bet you thought I forgot about these Money Making Scheme things… or I forgot you thought about these … or something like that.

septuple note: on further research I find that there already are Momints. I’m sure Michael J. Fox read this blog and then went back to 2003 and usurped this great idea from me. I’m bummed out now and am feeling like I’m eating day old food … which isn’t bad as long as it’s been refrigerated properly.

octuple note: originality requires worms or birds or something.

nontuple note: being the first to be second is still only a red ribbon. (sad face)

notes to myself #106

You make the right choice when you buy the U2 “Boy” album instead of The Romantic‘s “In Heat“.

Tomorrowland

 

Tomorrowland is just in someone’s head,

but so are Yesterdayland and Neverland.

 

note: “Twodaysfromnowland” or “Thedayaftertomorrowland” are probably twice as good!

double note: it’s always Tomorrowland; never Tomorrowsea … unless you’re sending a card to that The Smiths‘ guy.

triple note: our future is in Tomorrowland … and always will be I guess.

.

notes to myself #105

People don’t get scurvy from becoming a pirate: they get it from not eating vitamin C.

It’s a vitamin seasickness.

Limping

 

I’ve had a limp for a few days now.

It’s not so bad, …

it’s in my arm.

 

note: I have a sliver in my hand too, but it’s chocolate cake.

double note: I think I need a smiley facelift.

triple note: sorry for no entry yesterday … it was going to snow and I got too excited.

quadruple note: if you are limping badly does that mean you are walking normally?

quintuple note: limping has nothing to do with lymp nodes … I looked it up if you don’t believe me.

.

notes to myself #104

Being responsible involves a lot of responsibility.

I’m A Mountain … Or A Pile Of Something.

 

I am a mountain:

best seen from a distance and …

if you stand on the top of me you can see a long way.

 

note: if there is a “Mt. Me” somewhere I bet they sell a lot of t-shirts.

double note: why isn’t it Mt. Splash, Mt. Big Thunder, Mt. Space, Mt. Witch, Mt. Big Rock Candy, Mt. Dew  …

triple note: I guess all mountains are named after someone … probaby Mr. Mountain. (old joke)

quadruple note:

“What’s the matter Horn?” I asked my friend Horn.

“I’ve never killed a man Jaro” I said to my friend Jaro.

“I never rest” I’ve never said.

quintuple note: is there a “Mt. Everestaurant” in Nepal/Tibet? … cause there should be!

.

notes to myself #103

The albums lying around the house while you’re a kid will stay with you forever. Jim Croce is timeless. Time In A Bottle  is well spent … sometimes.

Mr. Jones And Me …

 

are now 45!!!!

I’m the same age as a gun, an obsolete vinyl musical thing, a popular angle, and the guy who crushed that other guy’s head using a car door.

… oh!  and Vinnie Jones  too!

 

note: I’m sure he’s written a post about me entitled “Mr. Janes And Me …“

double note: I’ll dare to eat a peach for a while longer.

triple note: if someone told me 20 years ago that I would be 45 in 20 years … I’d have probably agreed … stubbornly.

quadruple note: references to “Mr. Jones” by Counting Crows, Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, and “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T. S. Eliot are referred to referencially.
How can I refer to something if it’s my first time? I think I just “ferred” to them.

quintuple note: is someone counting crows or is there a counting crow out there somewhere?

.

notes to myself #102

People don’t think it’s funny when you refer to January 4th as “My Birthday Eve“.

Resolutionizing

 

My New Year’s Resolutions are …

to use all the small change that has accumulated in this ashtray.

and …

yup … that’s about it.

I figure eliminating change leaves me with nothing else to work on this year.

 

note: change is bad, but small change is worse.

double note: the people at 7-11 are not going to like me for a few months.    … assuming they don’t mind me now.

triple note: it’s not time for a change … it’s time for the change.

quadruple note: no I didn’t bring a Labatt’s ashtray from Canada. I think Mr. Pettit  gave it to me for some reason.

You know how your mother can’t operate the VCR very well and is hopeless at resetting the little clock when there is a power outage? … you will get like that.
