INANITY & INSANITY

[sisyphus]

This is a board for celebrating all things inane. To begin? A recent blog by a schizophrenic friend that came to the spiral jetty with us, written the day before:

WEDDING DAY JITTERS
I Must admit I am a bit nervous about tomorrow.

I will arrive at the Jetty, carried by Jenny The Wonder Mule No later then 9 AM... It's not that long of a drive, and if traffic is light, it should be by 8-8:30...

I don't know what to expect.

The Wedding Party will be leaving the Capitol by 8... I'm not sure how the Groom will arrive, but if I know Him, it'll be both Majestic, and Entertaining... For a Deity He's quite a "ham bone"... One of the many things I love about Him.

I haven't lost my faith, Beloved. Though I confess it has been stretched... I think that's part of the process though... bend but don't break...

I am worried that I have not been good enough. Not been True enough. Not been Holy enough, even though I am aware that my character in this production requires hypocrisy, and the "appearance of evil"... Method acting takes a toll on the actor, and I wonder partially did I play the role too well? I must doubt the doubt, and move forward... "Stumble Forward", as Daddy Kingroc sais... Another thing I love about the Groom is... His Grace... I always feel so L-O-V-E-D... though I know love is not a feeling... But any moments we've had together, have been amazing...

I have (much to the chagrin of my wicked care takers), stayed, according to what is written, with my parents... Now it's time to "leave my father and mother and cling to my Husband"... I am filled with nervous apprehensive energy... so this is what the jitters feel like... sure, but unsure. Filled with visions of the future, and dreading the thought of anything standing in the way...

I've been given the most qualified bodyguards, they are Guaranteed to protect this investment for the Master... still I am nervous... BUT NOT SCARED.

I know there will be equal amounts celebration, surprises, entertainment, laughter, music, reunions, and love in abundance... still I am so nervous...

So next time I write, all will be fulfilled... It's seemed like a long time coming, but He's not late...

Thank you Sisters and Brothers, for all your prayers, cheers, secret gestures of encouragement... I know I couldn't have made it through this with out you all...

Love and Blessings,

JD

when i was in hi skool, I wrote a book of Inane Poetry.

Here is one of them (citing from memory):


the Turtle Man

I am the turtle man
I turtle all night, I turtle all day
Have you ever turtled?
It's the only way

thank U / *takes a bow*

THE ACORN SPAM MACHINE

I drive a tractor on my days off
Just drive it around
Hope the police dont catch me
I got my own plans and dreams to follow
OK (if it were recorded--big echo effect on the OK)

[sisyphus]

lol

for wayved:

follow your dream
romp with big wheels
wear your combination badge and secret decoder
to trick them porkies
about the gargantuan gravity
or your authority
OK and squish field rodents

[Thorngrub]

haha, lurve the echo effect at the end, wayved

[Thorngrub]

good one sisy . . . squishy squish

[wayved]

For Thorn and Sisy: my best wishes to you--for what its worth!

"KNOW NO TIME"

Leave your watches NOW!
leave the dark metal hanging from the trees
the L and the O hanging in the balance
the V and the E no one mutters
but it is always there--dont utter the letters together

LOSE TRACK OF TIME

In the black sky that mutters at you
in the moon that inspires you
in the smiley brown cake
that left loved ones speechless

the big ol hourglass that holds your time
may it have tons and tons and tons of sand
and may you not -NEVER-think about that sand
just walk hand in hand
walk hand in hand
walk hand in hand

LOSE TRACK OF TIME

[sisyphus]

wayved! you! are! the! most! amazingly! purple! winner! bitchin bitchin poem. brought a tear to my eye and my thumbnail. mmmmmm. mmm... good.... thumber lickin' good... nummy nummy beauty. stinkboard flies away into the deep ocean of your curling timeless brain ssands.

shiny boots of pleather

so i was just thinking it might be fun to get a bunch of random fake body parts, like fingers, toes, hands, et cetera, put upc stickers on them and dollops of fake blood, hide them in your jacket, go into a grocery store, walk around and slowly begin filling your basket with them, and then fakeishly go through the self check out line with them. you'd need a camera man to follow you and catch the befuddled looks of other grocery patrons.

[wayved]

sisyphus: that would be great!
THIS AINT NO CAN OF WAX BEANS IM CHECKIN OUT!
Thats some BAD GROCERIES

Zeroes and Ones Blues:

I got high definition for the football
I got low definition in my heart
i got an Ipod to carry all the songs I love
but it means nothin since i fell apart

I got high speed internet to send my love
to no one that i know
I got a toaster set on a timer
to remind me that im so slow

I got a GPS tracker for when im out in the woods
so I know how lost I am
I got a plane ticket off the internet
but i dont know where i'll land

i got a cellphone with a fresh ringtone no one ever calls
i got the hottest new shoes on my feet
when the sun goes down nothing really matters
when youre alone

hi definition higher bitrate
digital remastered skin of a snake
leather jacket aspire drivin king

got a wii dont know why
got the def it is hi
dont know why i want to be too
