To Owe One Three

Happy New Year Everyone!

Apologies for disappearing in the latter half of 2012.
Nothing bad happened; just lack of motivation.
The motivation was motivacationing I guess.

… but this is a new year!
… anything could happen!

January first!
… at least that’s how the months on my calendars usually go.

.

note: I think I’ll just scrap the “notes” and “Today” stuff at the end of these blogs … until I’m back into the swing of things.

double note: it says “a prize in every box” up in the right hand corner of the box. I should have written it bigger … I told you I’m a bit rusty!

Using Mental Fingers And Toes

 

There should be a calculator for doing mental arithmetic

… or a ruler at least.

 

note: I feel sluggish lately … avoiding salt … leaving a trail … and all that stuff, but I really don’t feel like blogging for a while.
So I will be back after the next big event on my The Big Three list:

Numata Matsuri 2008 / Numata Matsuri 2009

Kinder Olympics / When Was The Last Time?

Dance Recital Madness / Dance Recital Madness: Day 2

Dance Recital Madness 2011

double note: I’ve said it before, but I’ll say it again, I didn’t miss last year’s Numata Matsuri from August 3rd to 5th … I just took crappier photos than usual … and thought I’d give it a miss as blog fodder for a year. I will report on it again this year. (promise)

triple note: does anyone do mental algebra?

quadruple note: I think I deposed a ruler back in 1977 … when Canada went all metric on me.

Today 222

Today was like eating a day old banana … it wasn’t ripe at all.

Mr. Lower Back … 3 Years Old!

   

 

A month after I started blogging in 2008 I started my first experiment: a Hair Labo.
I named him Mr. Lower Back because at first he didn’t grow hair on his head … just other odd places.

It’s his 3rd birthday today. He’s looking pretty sad, but he keeps on going for some reason. (I had to re-attach his left eye for the photo)

Most of the people who first read the crap I was writing at the beginning have either stopped blogging or stopped leaving comments. That’s cool: everyone has a life … and hobbies/life/situations change.

Some of the first readers of this blog are still around though; Tony, S. Le, Turkish Prawn, Prairie Flounder, sweetiegirlz, and Pat Coakley to name a few who keep stopping by here … like I’ve got worms and they want to go fishing.

Thanks.

It’s been 3 years plus, but I’m not as sad looking as Mr. Lower Back … so I will continue.

 

note: I have to say that Tony  has sent more people this way than anyone else … for some reason. It’s really quite weird when I try to think about it … which I don’t enough. (I still miss another featured blog that had to do with which way the toiletpaper roll was hanging in the hotels the guy visited)

double note: I should eliminate a lot of the roll call from the blogroll, but I can’t … it’s my nature. I’d be Waiting for Godot … if I was in that play.
(I miss all of you)

triple note:  for everyone else on the blogroll who joined me at a later date … I’m not sure if I found you or you found me … I’m just glad you are still here. It makes the blogging hobby (blobby) very enjoyable.

quadruple note: all my other experiments are long gone or finished. Some were good, some were bad, some were boring … or not to my liking. They are still up at the top of the blog if you’ve got time to kill … and are really bored.
(I’d like to start a new experiment, but my local experiment shop has closed sadly: I’ll keep looking for something new though)

.

Today #170

Today was like ordering a pizza and calculating only 3 pieces will be mine … then a few people got sick unexpectantly and a few weren’t hungry … Total Score!!!
(this is an analogy: I don’t order pizza when more than 2 people are present)

An Another Update

 

Things here are about the same as they were a few days ago.

On the walk to the gym this morning I noticed a few businesses closed, but most were open.
I went into a convenience store and bought a sandwich: there were normal supplies.
I went to the gym: it was normal.
I got a haircut: maybe it was a “panic haircut”~!
I stopped by work to tell them I would be at work next week: it was normal.

I went to a grocery store: it was normal.

Everything is still normal … just an underlying note of stress and concern in most people I’ve met.

 

 

note: it’s hard to see charity boxes without shoving money in them.

double note: I’m a bit stressed, but hopefully I will lose a lot of weight in the process. I’m looking for a lose/win situation.

.

Today #151

Today nothing happened: that’s not a bad thing.

Thinking Of Speaking … Or Speaking Of Thinking

 

I didn’t think of anything stupid today.
I said some stupid things though.
… and then wrote them down.

That “think before you speak” stuff could really cause this blog to suffer.

 

note: running out of ideas is very droughtful.

double note: I’m off for the weekend to parts unknown … to a lot of people, but I know them quite well and am going anyway.

.

Today #75

I told you what happened today above: I don’t chew my cabbage twice!

Originationalizing

 

Sometimes I say, “I don’t think yesterday’s post was very original.”

… and my friend always replies, “There are 6 billion people on the planet.”

He’s always trying to change the topic.

 

note: my friend says that I am unique, but he never tells me who I am unique like when I ask.

double note: Wow! 6 Billion People!!! … that would be a big dogpile.

triple note: the amazing sculpture is from the same guy who did this … with links to his site that I’m too lazy to copy and paste again.

quadruple note: I couldn’t think of anything stupider than a 6 billion person dogpile for that second note: if you can, let me know. (shamelessly pandering for comments)

Today #55

Today evaporated like chicken wings … if I waited around for chicken wings to evaporate that is.

Blogbligatory Entry

 

It has been 2 years since I started blogging on wordpress.

This is almost becoming a regular annual reoccurence.

I always knew I had nothing to write about …
I just never knew how much nothing I had to write about.

When I shake my head there is still something rattling inside it, so I am not empty yet.

I will continue to move ahead … or continue … or not stop … or something like that.
… it just won’t be a head like those Easter Islanders made.

I will go fourth and prosper like Norway in the 2010 Olympic medal standings … and possibly Thor Heyerdahl will visit me in my sleep while I’m awake, so I remember it, and tell me how to move a head better.

 

note: thanks to everyone who actually continue to read these things on a regular basis frequently.
You are all puttons for glunishment … or some real words that sound similar … like bad homonyms.

You are always a bridesmaid never a bride. … it’s a lesser of two evils scenario if you think about it.

Your strengths and weaknesses are very far apart … sadly.

Motion Sickness

 

I have “going through the motions sickness“.

I’m taking a break and will be sitting on fences mending … or sitting on mends fencing … or something like that.

I’ll be out letting the flowers smell me, the sunshine enjoy me, and changing the fresh air into carbon dioxide.

 

note:  I’ll still be around … just not posting for a while. I will see you at your place.

double note: How long is a while?  … I don’t know. I’ve never caught one and measured it.  February sounds good.

triple note: What am I going to do? I don’t know, but I’m sure I’ll think of something … or be thinking of something.

There is enough Kraft Dinner and Pork n’ Beans to last you a month.

note: just cleaning out some photos in preparation for other stupid photos to forget about in the New Year.

double note: did you hover the cursor over the pictures? … I knew you would.

You will go places where others can’t follow … usually toilet stalls, photobooths, telephone boxes, and between your ears.
