Luck can be a friend
Luck can be a foe
It all just depends
On which way it goes

Putting Up Resistance
Making the world dirtier, meaner, and less safe
With every moment he soils that once prestigious office
Meanwhile
I couldn’t resist posting one of my favorite tunes for this prompt

Random German dude loitering on a staircase: “Wie geht’s dir?”
Me: “The gates are okay but the hinges are rusty.
While it seems the past years
Have been taken by the boom
Of a loud fat buzzing #Mosquito
In the room
Thank glorious insectile overlords
For the power, wisdom, and pique
To mute endless media harangue of
Blather and Squeak
A #yakamoz
lycanthrope
May be good looking
But in reality is but a
Sneaking slinking skulking
Weak sad sack reflection
Of a full furred howling
Drooling biting snarling
Genuine issue werewolf
You liked the big lie?
Well step right up for this year's
extra #jumbo lie.
This person Up On a platform Preening Like a bloated budgie In front of a mirror Not #cute Not #gigil Just #sad
What's that trickling down?
#Sugar coat it all you wish.
It still amounts to
thinly glazed aerated pure
weasel sputum on a stick
Low expectations
Have kept me #flexible now
In spite of myself
I can bend backward while I'm
Looking at me in the void
From towering white pines to unusual beach species. Predacious bog plants to native prairie grasses. The plant diversity was outstanding in front of our dune home. Diverse #garden terrain wiped out for a sloping lawn to serve the spouse aesthetic. My biggest regret.

Was it finding myself floating in a roomful of white mist looking down at myself sitting at a computer?
More likely, that was an end.
Did it #begin when a foot, a bus, and the front bumper of a 1971 Checker taxicab tried to occupy the same space at the same time?
That began something.

TOOL
C.U.S.
YOU better BUY this NOW or YOU are DOOOOOOOOOOMED!!!!!!!
I am not a big fan of horsey headlines, but this is the message interwoven in every distraction delivery system I consume.
This seems to be the message in many political campaigns of the day as well.
Believe me.
Or else.
Back in the day I would look at the television.
But now I watch it.
I think my television, cable, satellite, and internet providers are watching me.
Time to go now because I just saw a pharmaceutical advertisement for a pharmaceutical that will alleviate my C.U.S. (Chronic Urgency Syndrome)
Sure hope I can swallow it in time.
So ends another chapter in the Daily Sojourn known as:
The Quest For Urgency

P.S. Good thing the promise of a television commercial free pay cable and / or satellite and / or internet television diversion delivery system was another hoax perpetrated on the consumer or I never would have found this pharmaceutical rabbit hole to send more dollars down.
Cheese and Meat
Number one son was an aficionado of the Original.
Woe be unto him who tried to foist any New items on him. Perish the thought of Improved items as well. Same for Deluxe. Limited begone. Nope. He wanted the Original.
He was the purist goalie in the family. Try to get anything past him that was not what he considered original, from BBQ sauce to Kraft Italian salad dressing, and the howls could be heard to the Original high heavens.
Anything other than cheese and meat on a burger was grounds to ban that McDonald’s from his Original list. With an added Original pox upon the hapless server who served it up in such an Unoriginal fashion to him.
He was indeed the embodiment of the Original Sin.
He was a terrible consumer in training and the nightmare of all fiduciaries of our growth fetishistic enterprises and nation.
But after years in front of the television soaking in commercials, online Ad culture, and peer pressure he came around as all good potential productivity pods do. Now number one son wants everything new and improved in the world you can possibly imagine.
But since he is one of the Original Millennials he may be too late since the Original promise of trickle down has already been lapped up, swallowed , and sent elsewhere.
Maybe someone has an Original idea to solve this.
I haven’t heard it.
I have observed a lot of very Unoriginal silliness in between the TV commercials, Ad Banners, and pop up ads however.
So I hope he still only wants cheese and meat on his burger.
After all , it’s the Original.
In Praise of Flattery
Flattery will get you everywhere.
Flattery will get you nowhere
When you receive praise from a sycophant is it flattery or is merely living up to the job description?
You know.
Because you are so clever. Yes you are.
Who so clever?
You so clever.
Now can I get a LIKE?
