Since all of us suck at staying on topic I thought it might be interesting to have an open ended discussion that doesn't have a specific topic. I'd also like a break from argumentative topics so let's keep it friendly. I'm just wondering what's happening in your life at this particular moment or what you're thinking about.
I'm sitting here at a quarter past eight in the morning and having my first of many cups of coffee. I'm not having any deep thoughts or pondering the riddle of the universe, I'm just very glad that it's pouring rain outside. Let me explain why. Yesterday I mowed half of the lawn and then the mower ran out of gas because the owner of that mower (moi) forgot to fill the gas tank. I was sweating like a pig and had to carry a little towel to mop the sweat out of my eyes so I was relieved that I'd run out of gas because then I could put off finishing the other half until today. Now I'm relieved again because I can't mow the lawn because it's pouring rain and I have a perfectly good excuse for sitting here, enjoying my coffee and listening to the comforting sound of the rain. So what's on your mind this morning?
Ambrose Bierce quipped that the life of an idiot is punctuated by a deadline. In this, the fool is only distinguished from the wise man in doing what is required too late. Still, human nature tending to procrastination, there has to be some time set for the performance of duty or taxes would not be paid, work would not be done, and nothing would be accomplished. Likewise, there has to be some penalty of forfeiture in consequence of the do-or-drop-dead date; for as Samuel Johnson observed, nothing so concentrates a man’s mind as the prospect of being hanged in the morning.
What's on my mind this morning? Hmmm... Well, I too just woke up about an hour ago. We haven't gotten any rain as of yet but it looks like it will rain later this afternoon. I'm debating on whether or not I should go visit my parents today. Not because I don't want to but because I hate driving over there in the rain.
I also have to cut the grass but in order to do so I have to go to the store and pick up some more "twine" for the weedeater as well as go food shopping with my wife. I've been plotting to see if there's any way I might be able to come up with an excuse so as not to go food shopping as it is something that I hate. I always feel lost in the grocery store and I never know what I want to eat when I'm in there. Inevitably, when I leave the store and am on my way home I begin to get hungry for all of the things that I didn't pick up while I was there.
Other than that, I'm thinking about a good alternative to this afternoon if we decide not to go to my parents' house. We may go out to dinner and catch a movie or something like that. At least, that's what I'd like to do.
I am sitting here this morning drinking my usual Pepsi as the sun shines brightly through the window wondering if I should go out and enjoy this beautiful day rather than stay in the house. I am trying to enjoy this day and not think about my problems.
I have been up since about 7, fixed my coffee, posted a little here..My 17 yr old grandson dropped in yesterday evening and spent the night, so I fixed him som pancakes, eggs and bacon and he is now out behind the house weedeating the hill..I hope to get my shopping done today since the stores will be less crowded..I went Friday night and left a full basket of groceries and cleaning stuff sitting in the aisle, because as usual there were only 6 registers open out of 30 or more..I hate that, and I am very impatient with those things..
I'm sitting here this morning with my second cup of coffee wondering when in the hell is this weather ever going to clear up, that's what's on my mind right now this morning.......it's raining again.
Well it's no longer morning, but I am now thinking about what to fix for supper. I went to Walmart and bought groceries today (everything is going up!) Oh if only I had a coon to barbecue!
