Tuesday Too

Tuesday Too1.) Are you comfortable spending time alone? Do you actually look forward to that time? Why, or why not?

2.)What’s the next best thing to your best thing?

3.) What do wish you you’d done last week/last month that you didn’t do? If you’re someone who accomplishes everything you set out to do, please let us in on the secret.

Tuesday Too

Tuesday TooBlogger is having publishing/template problems; so I can’t say when these questions will actually be available.

1.)Where in the world does your lap go, when you stand up?

2.) “Life’s is mysterious, don’t take it serious.” Are you easily riled by things you could have laughed off? Why does,or doesn’t that happen to you?

3.) On the other hand, some things are serious. What argument/situation can’t you walk away from?

“It is no secret that organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year. This is quite a profitable sum, especially when one considers that the Mafia spends very little for office supplies.”

Talking To Myself

Sound advice! yes, absolutely that’s what I need.

Advice about what?

How to get out of the writer’s/painter’s slump, I appear to have gotten mired in. Perhaps it’s because I’ve stopped talking to myself, or maybe it’s a matter of not pushing myself to do it. If I were my therapist, I would say, “snap out of it.” No, that’s what my mother would say. Where in the world does a phrase like, “snap out of it” come from? To snap out of is to recover from. Then there is snap as in “that was a snap,” or “old so and so just snapped; she’s as crazy as a loon.” Hmmm… if you take the s from the beginning, and put it at the end you have naps. One who naps does not easily snap.

Where is this going?

It’s going forward, while I paint/write myself out of this corner. Just putting fingers to keys has a way of reforming my mental image. I can almost see me putting brush to canvas. The focus becomes sharper. It is always the case that if you don’t make time to do it, you won’t. Now I know that seems pretty damn simple, but one can spend a lifetime only wishing to do the things that are important; waiting for the right time, or any time. Three kinds of time in the last sentence. What time is it?

It is never too late to be what you might have been.

— George Eliot

Tuesday Too

Three of the Tuesday Too in a row? What’s going on here? No, you don’t have to answer those questions. I will, but later.

Tuesday Too1.) Scientists have predicted the earth will be swallowed up by the sun in 7.5 billion years. Will humans still be around then? Have they already gone to another planet? Did they incinerate themselves eons before the sun ever sucked on the straw? Write 2 paragraphs on the last days.

2.) What does the earth’s tombstone say?

3.) Do something nice for mother earth today. What will you do?

Tuesday Too

Tuesday Too1.) According to a “New York Times” article, lawsuits against reality TV shows are on the rise.

What’s your take on this new form of “entertainment”?

2.) Are you inclined to reveal personal things about your self in your weblog that you might not be as forthcoming about with your friends/family? Why or why not?

3.) Is there something or someone you take for granted that you shouldn’t? Maybe today is the day to change that. How would you go about it?

“Humor is perhaps a sense of intellectual perspective: an awareness that some things are really important, others not; and that the two kinds are most oddly jumbled in everyday affairs.”
