Here It Comes

Fe-Fi-Bo-Diddley-Dum. Y'all keep ironing your clothes. What for really? It's all so very silly (my favorite phrase). Ho-hum-diazepam-ingly-dance-around-the-prickly-pear at five o'clock in the morning (my favorite metaphor). If you're not understood, you'll be ignored. The jet engine was ignored for a few years after it was invented. I wish we would have ignored irons. No, I like irons. We could have ignored silver spoons instead.

As for the others and the world around him he never ceased in his heroic and earnest endeavour to love them, to be just to them, to do them no harm, for the love of his neighbour was as strongly forced upon him as the hatred of himself, and so his whole life was an example that love of one's neighbour is not possible without love of oneself, and that self-hate is really the same thing as sheer egoism, and in the long run breeds the same cruel isolation and despair. -- Hermann Hesse (from Steppenwolf)

I'll write something meaningful when you stop ironing your clothes.

Comments

Hey, I stopped ironing my clothes four years ago. Now, go forth, find meaning, and report back to us.

Writing about what I want to write about instead of just writing about it:

While waiting for life that sucks to die, why not listen to my favorite unsigned bands: TQ's Garage Band Playlist.
