say anything

I really don't have the opinions to fill a blog with something relevant everyday. It just doesn't work like that. I do have the capacity to waste time without end and fill space... There are several moles in the world on Webster's fantasical embelishment. A reflection of the economy shows a dire situation in which there can be little candy on the global market, save China, a country known to use lead. That's all I have to say on that. Don't get it? It's a metaphor! Just like saying that adults try to pretend that babies come from Kansas.

I would say that it's a safe bet that we all have things we wish we could do. Not something overly insane like fly or developing telekenetic powers to knock inconvenient people off of bridges into the un-dangerous water below, but rather accomplish little things like creating custom web skins, writing some worthwhile music on the side, drawing a cartoon, or updating a simple blog every day. Think about the little simple things that really don't affect the world in a huge way, but would still leave with you a sense of ego or accomplishment. When we're busy we never have the time for them, and when we have the time it feels like we have to rest from back when we were busy... even if that resting to end up a little prolonged. Sometimes I wonder about the purpose of those things. Are they a calling to actually try to do something that will be worthwhile in a big picture, in some inconceivable way? They could just as easily be small realistic fantasies that we can endlessly and happily work towards while lacking the drive to actually complete. Hmmm, food for thought. I'm going to spend some time and chew it over like a slice of Tracy's overly cheesey stuffed crust pizza.

Happy John Gets a Cake Day

I can't believe I forgot my own holiday! My first semester in college, and every subsequent year after, I've hit a huge slump around this time in October. It just generally sucks. So I decided to make up a holiday as an excuse to pull me through. Originally there were rules to Happy John Gets A Cake Day, I had to complete a list of things, the last of which was to get a cake and enjoy it around people. That theme still remains most central and after the great Happy John Gets A Cake Day reform of 2005, pretty much anyone can celebrate (even if their name isn't John). Also the list of activities is more or less lost to time and 'friends only' locks on old live journals and is therefore rendered unimportant.

I am so surprised it came and went! I thought it was this Thursday (as that was the week day it originally fell on). In fact this is the first time in four years that I've forgotten Happy John Gets A Cake Day comes every October 12th. I feel the need to go buy a cake, or something.

So everyone, Happy Belated Happy John Gets a Cake Day Day!
