There is a new track on the ‘Listen’ page. It unintentionally sounds like a half-assed Squarepusher rip-off. My apologies, Mr. Jenkinson.
I haven’t been posting much in awhile, mostly because I can’t decide what to write about, lately. My decision making faculties have been dull to say the least. I can’t seem to tie my shoes without asking someone which shoe I should tie first. I’ve never been particularly good at making quick, on the spot decisions, and now it seems as though any decision at all is a problem for me.
I guess you could say that things aren’t going as grandly as they could be, financially speaking. But lest we forget that my motto in the face of crisis is “Deny, deny, deny!!!” Actually, my motto in the face of crisis has historically been: “Go to sleep! It will be better when you wake up!” and that hasn’t ever worked for me. So I’m dropping “withdrawal” and trying out “denial.” So I have decided to deny that I am in any sort of financial peril, and so far, so good. Hey I made a decision!! Maybe things are getting better, after all!
Yesterday as Kim and I were going to Warrior’s Grill for dinner there was a scraggily homeless man begging for change at the signal before Great Neck (which is the homeless modus operandi in Hampton Roads, no one stands in front of convenient stores anymore). As the cars slowed to a stop he struck a military salute. For a moment, I felt kind of guilty for worrying about my own personal disorder and I decided to do the right thing: I asked Kim for some change because I didn’t have any to give him!! By the time she handed me a dollar he had walked down the curb and the light changed so I had to go.
There is that first step towards optimism that goes “Well, at least I’m not on fire!” and in Hampton Roads it could just as well be “at least I’m not in The Navy!!”
Well, Cupcake, you can always use my friend Komnith’s motto in the face of crisis:
“At least I’m NOT the Elephant Man.”
That one seems to work fairly well for me.
wow. financial peril, huh? i know exactly what you are dealing with…or should i say…not dealing with. withdrawal has never been my choice. denial has come in handy once or twice. what really works for me though is sharing. you see…i like to “share” the responsibility with others. for instance, when i am broke i tell my dad and then continue on by reminding him that any way i may deface the family name will reflect poorly on him as well. this usually motivates him to make sure i don’t fall into too deep a hole . anyway. that works for me!
