I heard this a few days ago at the gym.
"The days sure are getting shorter. I mean it gets dark earlier than I ever remember it. I don't even think there are twenty-four hours in a day any more."
"The earth is getting closer to the sun, so time is getting shorter. That's why its getting warmer, too, not all this shit scientist say about the Greenhouse Effect."
I couldn't tell if he was kidding. Neither of them laughed. Given the bullshit that comes from some quarters, I wouldn't doubt it was something he heard on FOX or some talk radio show.
I laid up all day Saturday. Did nothing but sleep. My body aches and my mind doesn't want to think. I can't tell if I have a virus or depression. Got up much later than usual today and want to go back to bed. All my thoughts are personal and bad. It is terrible because the weekend weather has been perfect. But this could be another day in bed. And that does not provide me with writing material.
Perhaps that fellow was right, though. Perhaps we are spinning closer to the sun.
sounds like depression...I recognize they symptoms oh so well...get out today...save yourself!
ReplyDeleteI think it's the price an old man has to pay for not resting in his vacation.
ReplyDeleteIt will teach him. Or, it should.
:-P
I hope you can sleep, Selavy!
Maybe you get some cool, or hot, dreams you can tell us about tomorrow.
:-))

R, I couldn't make myself go out. I'm spiraling, maybe. Or perhaps it is somatic and I will heal. Stay tuned.
ReplyDeleteN, No dreams. Nothing to tell. I think of taking a break from this, but the Devil Drives.
I like your way of thinking, and I believe I could be in the same state of mind hearing these kind of stupid conversations... Sometimes "it's hard to be a saint in the city" or just calm and keep sense of humor when the world goes crazy around us
