Mind games

The benefit to being out of your flippin' mind is that you can see things from a different perspective. "Out of the box" has nothing on out of your mind.
Of course, the down side is that nobody listens to you. After all, you're out of your flippin' mind.

Signs on doors at Target: Welcome -- Do not enter.
Sign on rural north Georgia highway (or it was way back in 1979): Two Mile Church, four miles.
TV ad: "If you or someone you love has died ..."

Brains sometimes work not in the usual way.
For example, this one has a vivid imagination. The problem with is it that it only imagines what and when it wants. Any attempt to brainstorm doesn't come up with as much as a drizzle.
Stream of consciousness often is simply reacting to what's going on around me. Sometimes what comes out is inane, irritating or even stupid.
In some cases, though, even this mind comes up with something worthwhile.
Present material isn't necessarily on of those worthwhile things.

Does writing a blog matter when nobody's reading it?

So yeah, writing to nobody beats paying somebody listen to you.

We all know a lot of lawyers are full of crap.That degree doesn't make them any less full of it -- it can make them even more full of it, since lawyers are taught to win, win, win.
Right or wrong isn't the point. Just win, baby.
So why do we keep electing them to public office? Just how stupid are we?

The three-week boycott of sports talk radio and ESPN "SportsCenter" is under way.
Will they ever stop clubbing us over the head with Super Bowl stuff that nobody really wants to know about? Do you really think we care what the backup linebacker eats for dinner, or what the punter does for a hobby?
Just shut up and play the game already.
