and then, for no apparent reason

or maybe because i am listening to Alice's Restaurant and remembering how much i love Arlo's obviously repetitive redundant doh!-like humors that sometimes reminds me of The Simpsons and other wide-eyed subtle mockery of human stupidity, not to mention Steven Wright who is a bit more on the subdued side, not that we're taking sides, but anyway...

i slept a bit more than usual last night instead of going to the shindig at the Urban Flats that promised to be the biggest one of the year so far because i felt like sleep would feel much better than drinking wine and not sleeping and, after all, i am motivated mostly by what feels good for me in my decision-making process during this life, or at least i used to be...

i have a few moments before i must rush out to work and grind my nose against the computer cuz reports are late again and i'd like to be on time for my monthly meeting which is Monday...

but then, sometime in the past day or two I visited myspace and other places and was inspired to write the following inspired by moo love that represents how i feel about each and every one of you, especially you guys who feed me some words, especially the caring loving nice-to-me words cuz every now and then i am influenced by the outside world (sometimes it's way more influence than i should allow in, but then, it keeps the boredom and loneliness away... i think... even if it kills me) and it's nice when it's nice out there...

so i say to you:

just cuz when you log in
i want you to smile
and know that you are missed
when you're away awhile

just cuz when you log in
i want you to see
that you are remembered
and loved by me

and i know i'm not the only one
there are many in your fan club
you inspire joy and excitement
wherever you go

like a rock god or movie star
you shine from high above
and give us what we all need
the wonder of your love

so the next time you log on
i want you to know
the love you shared feels as good
in the afterglow

and I concluded with Happy New Year Merry Xmas Happy Hanuka Kwazy Kwanza and Yippie Yay Joy on every other day for every other holiday... yeah, it's a bit early, but heck, it's on time for the next time you log in :)

cuz i hope you are happy... and maybe the rhyme is not completely completed and will continue sometime down the road, but for now i will continue with this entry that may be over for the moment as i do have to get dressed and head out to work, but before i do i present you with this bit of Americana that i found while wandering in the last day or two...

the song about cornholing, the game, and tailgating, another word with multiple meanings

yeah, so anyway, i do appreciate you coming here, reading, maybe even acknowledging the words i left for you cuz i do leave them here for you just as much as for me and posterity and posterity seldom responds cuz it's another time and i seldom respond cuz i talk to myself elsewhere and so that leaves you, dear readers, so i thank you for doing your part in this infinite-part harmony that may not be an Arlo Gurthrie song, but it's almost as abstract sometimes and if i had time, it might even do justice to the wonderful opinion i have of Arlo, and you, and myself...

tonight is softball practice...

enjoy :)
