RandomNothingNessOfTheIrrelevantKind

I have nothing but everything to write. No direction, no inspiration, nadda, zilch, blank. So, in spite of that, I will type until something breaks through the red tape of my mental blockage.  Sometimes that mentality works, other times it's just an example of pure crap. (Kinda like what I've just written) Does anyone else wander around with a million thoughts, ideas, stories, yet are unable to form a simple sentence to wrap everything into one destination? Yes? No? Freaky? Oh help me, I'm in a mood........

       So I've seen various mentions for the VIVI awards. I read hints and such about controversy, but haven't read anything with specifics. Which is fine, I've never mingled in the political agenda that is sometimes found within this community. So this morning I thought I would visit nominated journals and exercise my journalgivenrightsofvoting. I suppose the issue I'm having would be like going to the voting booths on the 7th and blindly punching chads without knowing what any of the politicians stood for. For the most part I know nadda, zilch, a tiny example of those journal writers. Ok, fine, I got time and some writer blockage, I'll visit, gather some inspiration, bask in the writing of others and gleefully go vote for my newfound favorite journals. Starting with what would be my natural favorite categories. Yes, well, allrighty then....aren't personal tastes a bitch sometimes. Moving on. (ok, I just don't get it on some certain things, just does not compute, ekk this does not sound good) 

       Last year I knew the majority of the journals. Does that mean back then I was in the 'group' and this year I am a nobody, a social outcast, who's completely outta the loop? Did an entire population of new writers come along, start a new school and I've been left back in grade school, clueless like? I think I really need to get up to speed. I just need to find a few extra hours in the day to investigate the new school.

       I was happy to see a few journals I know in a few of the catagories, journals that are really good ones at that.....yessss...I get to vote. And what's the deal with private journals in this mix? Isn't the point of private being the definition of no access unless invited? Doesn't that kinda exclude alotta peeps, like me? Are we supposed to askfor invites? Hell, if thats the case, I would like an invitation to each and every private journal out there. Yep, that would be very cool............in the name of investigation of course.

If your here, reading my words, and you've been nominated for somethin' let me know k, leave a brochure on my doorstep, list your qualifications, party affiliations and your promises I'll expect to see while you hold office. Alittle bribery always helps, so I've heard. I like paper, pens, stamps, books, and slush money always works, non-sequential order please.

      If a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound? Or more importantly, if someone remains silent and doesn't choke out their truths, are they lying to those who ask to hear the truth? Guilt by silent omission style?

       Jehovah's Witness peeps came to my home yesterday to explain the phenomenon of 'false religion' to me. I was bored, needed distraction and let them come in, a pop quiz style of debate (is how I looked at it) I'm not sure if their God was keeping score, but I believe I held my own. I've been in a bit of a confrontational mood this week, God shoulda warned em.' 45 minutes later it was deemed I was a hopeless heathen and I deemed them courageous messengers. It was jolly good fun.

       The squirrels in my backyard are winning the war on my outdoor furniture. So far, they've ripped open 2 more cushions and padded up their winter nests like cozy cotton mansions. I'm not amused. Retaliation: I will withhold their nut smorgasbord for exactly one week. The neighbor will have to make up for my depravation tactics. I left my Jehovah's' Witness pamphlets in their food box, they can pad their nests with 'true religion.'

       My Mother always said, "If your (you're) in a bad mood, don't take it out on everyone else" I'm certain she meant voice.....she never mentioned writing.................

~~

       I'm thoroughly irritated with the book choices I've chosen lately. I need heart. I need connection. I need writing that delights my reading senses instead of creating a yawn of frustration. I need something that makes me laugh out loud and cry in all the right places. I need something..........anything.........that makes me stay up until 3:00 a.m. because I simply cannot stand the thought of putting it down for the evening. Is there NO book out there that can do this for me???????? Anyone? Suggestions? Reviews? Hell, I'll take a bodice ripping, Fabio influenced, pulsating crush of words if it has the ability to entertain me at this point in time. Yes, I'm that desperate for decent literature. If anyone suggests the Bible I may toss you on the food box with the pamphlets and rats with fluffy fur coats.

       I was trying to solve the meaning of life the other day. I'll have to get back to you on that one.

~~

       I'm ready for that slush money now. Unmarked of course.

(P.S. Congrats to Dan, Raven, Kate, Gerry, Fred for your nominations!!!! A twenty will do, or a stamp or two) There is no doubt I believe you deserve the awards~~ If I missed any of my other friends who have been nominated let me know!)
