spring cleaning
instead of being outside where there is sunshine, purity, and joy, i am sitting in my windowless office trying to pull one more- just one more- label idea out of my skull.
i say skull because each new label i've had to make this past week has taken a little piece of my brain- as well as a piece of my soul- with it during cerebral extraction leaving me a hollowed out shell. if it were autumn i'd probably make a jack-o-lantern comparison which would most likely become awkward once i tried to stretch the metaphor into the seed baking phase. i don't know why but my allegories inevitabley tend towards awkwardness. hehe... that reminds me of a television moment...
dave:hu. you know i never really thought of it like that.
smatthew: well, nobody thinks of allegory these days.
dave: but i mean "star wars" as a metaphor for the whole nixon administration. that's fascinating.
smatthew: once you realize lord vador represents mcnamera, it all falls into place.
dave: my question is, do you think the people who made "star wars" intended it that way?
smatthew: hehe... no david. i came up with metaphor realizing the best way to explain triangular diplomacy to you was by comparing it to a popular children's movie.
dave: you know, i hate to admit this but it worked! ...wait a second, who was nixon?
smatthew: yoda.
dave: no, see, here it falls apart because yoda was a wise, old pacifist.
smatthew: no... yoda was a muppet. the puppeteer who made yoda authorize the secret bombing of cambodia on the other hand?
dave:...kissinger?
smatthew: exactly.
i've always assumed the inside of my head looked, well, something like this...
but as i sit here today,
brainless,
insensate,
lacking the mental capability for complex thought,
and proper paragraph usage,
i'm probably sporting a whole new cerebral design...
i've taken the few and very simple thoughts still floating around in my head, compressed them, and filed them under either "good" or "not good".
puppies, "good."
fire, "not good".
the series finale of "gilmore girls", "not good."
brownies, "good".
juice instead of diet coke, "not. good."
hu. it's sparse in here.
