I actually have nothing to write about at the moment.
Okay that’s a lie
Okay so is that.
No wait, right the first time.
Sometimes though the blank “paper” of a Word Document just cries out to me! Piteously! And I want to run to it and hug it and squeeze it and fill it with decorative words that will just make everything all better!! (Though I find that if people catch you at the hugging and squeezing it can sometimes lead to awkward questions and bad tasting medication…!)
Besides there’s nothing worse then a blank empty page.
Okay again I have to amend that. There’s tons of things worse! Theft, Murder, Investment Fraud, Torture with a cold spoon! In fact when you think about it, pretty much everything is worse then a blank empty page!!
So alright then let’s say a blank page is rather annoying. It just sort of sits there. And even when you turn the computer off, you know, just like easy access porn, it’s just waiting there for its moment to pounce when you least expect it! (And I do mean that porn reference I swear you type in “Girl with horse” and the pics that pop up are not only rather disturbing but highly uncomfortable looking for all involved – wait a minute – mother??)
Mind I suppose that windows can keep coming up with blank pages faster then anyone could ever hope to fill them? On and on, more and more, until you’re totally swamped, well at least electronic wise – my god, Windows is a monster!!
Time to break free! To just say no! To go do something extreme like read a book or get a life and leave the computer alone! No more being ruled by electronic things! We can do things for ourselves! (Mind the online dictionary is great, so is spell check and the calculator can’t be beat, and Facebook is so fun and…)
I’ll quit tomorrow.

Best Nest Soup?
Okay this is just a wondering, have you ever heard of the saying, “A Fish can love a Bird, but where would they live? Usually used when someone overly righteous is trying to point out a bad match, especially in things like mixed religion, race or even, ironically, same sex relationships. (Which wouldn’t that be like saying, oh yeah well if two birds loved each other where would they…hmmmn…)
Anyway I was just thinking that if life were a bit more flexible then who knows what would become of that relationship? If nothing else then the bird can sing sweet songs about it’s unrequited love, and sign a record deal, and go on to be famous and leave the fish behind, who will then write an angry biography and take to drinking (Well More drinking then a fish already does…) and telling bitter tales of all the hurts done to it to the media. Hey if it’s an American fish it could probably sue the bird for false pretenses or raising unexpected expectations – heck it’s probably already been done!
Just something to think about.

Feeling the er heat?
Our heater died today. Please! Contain your sympathy! Though it is a crushing loss we are managing to survive okay though it did come upon us suddenly. (Luckily on the last day of the cold spell just before summer hit us again mercilessly, hahaha, victory!!)
Yes well anyway...
I was just thinking about the years we’ve owned that old oil heater and how we’ve taken it everywhere with us. It’s even been to Durban and back! (Where, admittedly, we used it very little, the extreme heats of Durban ensuring it pretty much acted like an extra table for the two years we were there).
So what does this really have to do with anything? Well I was just thinking how attached a person can get to an inanimate object weather it’s useful, like a cell phone or computer or much loved heater, to something like a toy for a child or a lucky rabbit's foot,(that’s all stained and foul and god you really should throw it out)! You sort of take these things for granted, expect them to last for ages and then one day, POOF, they’re not there anymore!
And yes there’s a deep and meaningful statement there about life and love and accepting that loss happens and not taking things for granted and other fine things you’re welcome to interpret or misinterpret. Me? I’m off to buy a new heater. Something’s are just that, things and easily replaced! Probably some deep meaning in that too! ^_^
