Oh What A Circus, Oh What A Show

Well, here I am again, posting after a very long absence. You'd think I'd learn to keep my mouth shut about degenerate social parasites who never post if for no other reason than it would cover my butt in situations like this. Ah well, laziness even gets to the best of us sometimes (he says arrogantly)... Anyway, to tell the truth, the first few days of delay were out of sheer sloth, but the rest of the delay can be chalked up to trying to finding a decent excuse. You see, I really couldn't just come barging back in blithely saying how lazy I am.... So, hmm, I'm thinking an excuse based around the theme of mild heroics in a social work setting, maybe: "so there was this evil drunken bum mugger, see? And he was stealing old ladies purses at crosswalks, well, after a heroic struggle your hero....." Never mind... Forget I mentioned it.... Maybe loafing and indolence aren't such bad excuses after all...

Anyway, seriously, I have been busy. The Mother and Baby Brother came to visit and shanghi Yeshe as their personal body guard for the Guatemala trip. Not to mention that the humble High St. Mansion is playing host to the entire Waldron youth community over the weekend. Sadly, both these visits actually mean that I have to clean up the bachelor pad. That's right, pick up the guitar picks, coil up various arcane computer and instrument cables (geek umbilical cords...) and sweep the floor. What? You think cleaning up the stacks of Naval Architecture and sailing books goes along with cleaning the house!? Wow, you are so naive.... I think they add a nice touch to the decor. Kinda like those cozy old English studies filled with leatherbound books and oiled oak.

And speaking of nonsequaters, I recently watched the musical Evita which was fantastic. I love the kind of humor you often see in musicals. It's kind of the same as Oscar Wilde's humor and quotes. The kind that makes you actually notice and accept important truths by making them funny on the surface. I often notice this when I read Wilde, you read some hilarious passage and on the surface, at the moment, that's all it is; a funny turn of phrase. Then, after you think about it for a while it just seems to detonate in your head, letting you see some important point about life, the universe, and everything in a whole new light. Don't know why I just types that all up, since no one really cares, but I just finished checking email, so my delete finger is worn out at the moment. I guess that means you poor sods are gonna have to suffer through it.....

Anyway... Now that I have stretched Nothing (with a capital N) into four paragraphs, I think my job is done here. That and it's 1:00am....
