I know I've been missing it, so just in case you were craving some Crazy Talk (to be filed under Gibberish, which is located in the Lunacy drawer), I thought I'd better sit down and write a post.
I think I've been spreading myself too thin. I'm not complaining, it's always good to be busy, but there's busy and then there is Spinning-Top-Mania. Spinning-Top-Mania is not productive. Don't let this happen to you! Although, it's almost certainly already too late. You're probably well-mersed in your own mania of spinning toppidness (when I'm cranky, I make up words. Sue me). We're all of us so busy, busy, busy and mostly we're busy with crapola that we don't even want to do. What the hell??? I'm standing in a line for stuff I don't want again, aren't I? Talk about crazy! Yeah that's all right, I'll have mine with a Side of Buttered Guilt (all the better to shove it down my gullet) and a mess (emphasis on the mess) of Smashed-And-Dashed Feelings. Thank you.
Just what am I trying to say here?? I really haven't a clue. There is way too much going on in this head of mine. And try as I might (really? is that the best you could come up with, IK?) I can't seem to make friends with my brain. So...I'm shutting it off. Yeah, that's right. Shut off the brain and enjoy the bliss...or at least that's the plan. I don't want to dump the poor dear permanently. Just shut it down for a bit. Honestly, my brain is so loud these days that I can't think. And yes, that actually does make sense. Just shut down your brain for a moment and you'll see. Ahhhh yes...much better.
And if all else fails, listen to The Beatles...
And if THAT hasn't solved the issue, here's Mr. Marley...

AND to bring this madness to a full and complete stop (please remain seated on Err Insanity until the captain's light goes on...you could be here awhile), I will leave you with a doodle. Yep. It's another Faery Snail. Hope all is going well in your world(s)...

| Her Faery Snailness
Why is it that my snails have better fashion sense than I do? I'm a jeans-and-tee kinda gal. Where do these ball gowns (and wings. let's not forget about the wings) come from? Perhaps it is some sort of deep-rooted desire. Interesting. I don't really want to analyze this, by the way. My semi-functional delusions are far too much fun to risk losing them on some psychiatric couch.

Good post IK about something and nothing and I love it for the use of the perfectly cromulent word 'spinning toppidness'. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteAlso my default music setting for when I want to turn my brain off is metal, whether it be black, death, doom or just plain heavy there's nothing better than turning off the brain, turning up the volume and letting that noise just seep in. Bliss!
You are so right on, MrGG!! Turn up the volume of the stereo (ipod?) and turn off the brain!! Metal is an excellent choice and a fabulous release. Much better than going on a killing spree, although I've heard that has it's merits, as well.
DeleteHi Intricate Knot, Ilove you music... It hard having too much going. I'm the same, too much I want to get done and I'm enjoying life to the full. Happy at home, with my writing and now the sun is shining too.
ReplyDeleteHave a great day,
Glad you enjoyed the music! As long as you're enjoying what you're doing, I think everything falls into place. Thanks for stopping by, Paula! :)
DeleteDon't you just hate it when your brain keeps spinning but really has nothing good to say?
ReplyDeleteYES!! That is so crap! Focus is so important. Thanks, Natalie.
DeleteYes, I hear you, IK...you seem really good at staying aware, though, and I love hearing what you have to say. The tough part seems, for me, anyway, to be balancing the "busy" with "not completely insane and relying on old habits" pattern. And snails rule.
ReplyDeleteLol! Yes, the "completely insane and relying on old habits" pattern is a major bitch! Sometimes I just have to tell it (figuratively or literally) to TALK TO THE HAND or any variation thereof (generally expletives are involved).
DeleteI think I'm building a tribe of snails...not sure what their purpose will be. Maybe to rule. Hah! I appreciate you listening, RA.
I love the Faery Snail and I am a huge Marley fan. Take time for you--I have trouble applying this to myself and between working full-time and blogging, I put in nearly 70 hours of week and then I do mom tasks like snuggles, laundry, dishes, and cooking. I'm constantly exhausted. I say we run off to Aruba for a vacation!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you like my doodle!
DeleteWe really, really, really need to take time for ourselves. Our work-to-living ratio is so skewed in America! Running off to Aruba sounds FANtastic to me, Amberr!! But if we can't go to Aruba (damn), then a musical-mini-break works, too, whether it be Marley or whomever. :)
Hmmm, score one for being an old fart-essa like me. I may be a dizzy dame at times, but I rarely experience a case of "spinning toppidness" anymore. For the most part, my hubby and I can do what the heck we want when the heck we want to do it. I mean... here it is after noon already, and I (gasp!) haven't even made the bed yet!
ReplyDelete"Old Fart-essa" sounds AWESOME! If I'd been drinking milk, I would have laughed it right out my nostrils!
DeleteAnd you're absolutely right, Susan. One of the benefits of getting older is just not giving a damn about things that used to seem so vital. Like making the bed. Good for you! :)
I haven't quite hit "spinning toppidness" but sometimes feel i'm close! Shutting the brain down is a fabulous idea! i wish i could do that! Something always seems to get in the way, some stupid little random insignificant thought! ah oh well....I remember back being a teenager and needing to get away and putting on a cd of my favorite band and listening to it over and over for hours, just hearing the music and enjoying the singers voice. i can't do that anymore, one day i will though!
ReplyDeleteHope your temporary brain vacation helps! ;)
It works. Really, seriously it works! I used to do that when I was a teenager, too. Just lay on my bed and listen to a song or album (CD) over and over. You CAN do that, Devin. Just give yourself permission. xo
DeleteI think I will...Now i just have to find my ipod that my neice lost cause i think someone stole all of my CD's...the few i had left....lol
DeleteSomeone stole over half of my CD's a few years ago. It was such a bummer! It takes years to collect music. It's better now with ipods and MP3 players...unless your niece loses them! Hope you find it SOON!
DeleteSeriously what is wrong with people! Get your own damn music leave ours alone!
Deletei don't hold out hope and i won't be holding my breath in the hopes of finding my ipod :/
guess that'll be on my christmas list hehe
Damn. I was so hoping you'd find it!! Guess it will be nice to get the latest version from Santa! Haha!
DeleteWe all seem to have trouble shutting our brains down these days with all the crap that is going on in our worlds! Glad you are taking time to shut yours off. I need to learn from you. Thanks for a great post!
ReplyDeleteAin't it the truth?! I hope you can shut yours off soon!! Thanks, Kranky! :)
