There never seems to be enough time
to do the things you want to do,
but there might be,
if I stopped blogging…
But I like blogging…
Yet it’s time-consuming…
Once you’ve let that blogging genie out of the bottle, there’s no turning back. I keep trying to get away, but blogging keeps pulling me back in.
I also like making people laugh, I might be the one during the apocalypse: “Knock Knock.” Random guy, “Who’s there?” “Zombie.” “Zombie who?” Me running, yelling, “Zombie, behind you, run!”
Then again, too much time isn’t always good, when I have time to think, I often feel like an alien in this world. Not the rubbery, gray, tall, skinny aliens, more like the ET-hey-I-landed-on-your-planet-I need-to-phone-home-wow-your-long-distance-plan-sucks-at-least-the-snacks-are-yummy-does-this-dress-make-me-look-fat-type alien.
Going out on a limb, I’d say I’m not the only one who’s ever felt they’re waiting for the mothership to take them back to their home planet.
If only I’d arrived with an instruction manual. I know my parents wish I did.
Time runs by us, screaming like a babysitter in a horror movie. And as another Halloween creeps up, let us pay our last respects to things gone, but not forgotten…maybe they’ll return someday (hopefully not as zombies):
1. Hairspray, you once permeated every part of our lives, especially our lungs…guess we’re kinda grateful big hair is dead.
2. Mixed tapes have gone to join the choir invisible – mixed emojis?
3. Adieu giving up your seat to someone elderly or disabled or pregnant; apparently now they must fend for themselves, Game of Thrones-style.
4. Farewell phones, attached to a cord, instead of our hand or head.
5. Once loved and adored, held up on a pedestal, billboards, race cars, own section in the grocery store…poor little gluten, now dead to many, a social pariah.
6. RIP, ‘Please’, ‘Thank You’, and ‘You’re Welcome’, now ghosts of civilities past.
7. Quiet time, without tweets, updates, texts, and emails has kicked the bucket…Remember? Probably not, with all the digital amnesia…
8. Showing up at your new neighbours with baked goods has shuffled off this mortal coil; no friendly greetings, just pepper spray, the police, and/or speech on food allergies.
9. Bereft of life are ‘Thank You’ notes, but I’m still thankful to people who say cardshark instead of cardsharp, so I can picture a shark playing poker.
10. Talking to plants is now pushin’ up the daisies, can’t we just text them, telling them 2 gro?
11. Not asking for gifts and money has kinda bought the farm – #gimme is society’s new hashtag.
12. Wobbly inside-out pools hidden under threads of Egyptian cotton; waterbeds gone to their watery grave.
13. Patience is at death’s door, but really, there’s nothing you could possibly have to do (or explain to a judge) that’s worth putting children at risk, on Halloween, or any time.
Please pay attention while driving, I promise that absolutely fascinating tweet, update, text, or email about:
-
how porcupines mate without stabbing each other,
-
the shape of dog’s poop,
-
a divine fat, gluten and dairy-free no-bake cheesecake recipe (can that still be called cheesecake?),
-
cats robbed of their dignity via the internet,
-
if Bon Jovi’s hair is still real (see #1),
-
which Kardashian is getting married or divorced (all of them),
-
if Taco Bell is health food (it’s not),
-
finding out who died on The Walking Dead (hint hint, no one, they’re actors),
-
Justin Bieber’s private parts (what part of private is hard to understand, Justin?),
-
discussions about Donald Trump’s IQ (rich doesn’t equal smart)…
Number four has to be the one with biggest impact. Now phones are attached to peoples ears!! Love the list!!

Congrats on the award, yes, Richard is awesome and clearly has good taste. 😉
Thank you for including my post as one of your favs, wow, so pleased and just excited! Thank you. 🙂
Hope your son enjoys his train track, that was my son’s fav toy as a little one – Thomas and friends. And you just reminded me, I have to watch ‘Scrooged’, one of best Christmas movies ever (is it wrong Carol Kane is one of my fav parts? lol). 🙂
Congrats again and thank you. 🙂
Hope this week is treating you kindly. 🙂

Hi Donna,
I can’t stop blogging either– cat’s out of the bag. I was just thinking of these issues today.
Thanks for bringing your post to the Blogger’s Pit Stop last week.

I feel like it’s a blogging Godfather situation…I keep trying to get away but they keep pulling me back in. But honestly, I’m glad. Always happy to be at your wondrous #BloggersPitStop 🙂

Oh, mix tapes, how I miss thee. I still attempt to make them with playlists, but it’s just not the same… Thanks for joining us at #FridayFrivolity this week!

I know, it just isn’t the same, there’s nothing like making a mix tape or being given one. 😉

Perfect for today, Donna. Facebook sent me a “memory” that I reblogged this 2 years ago… on a day when I would love nothing better than to go back in time. Thanks for the smiles then and now. Hugs.

Sorry, this got tossed into my Spam because WordPress is, sigh, WordPress.
I’ve been having a lot of those days myself, Teagan and unfortunately nights too. I’m sending big hugs your way and anytime I can give anyone a smile, well, to be honest, it’s pretty selfish because that makes me smile. 🙂
Hope this week is being kind to you, I’m playing catch-up and I’ll be visiting your blog soon. 🙂
Massive time is a fickle mistress hugs xoxox
