Just A Little Bit Nuts?
Man, I get tired of the sell! Practically every where I turn, there’s an ad. Why there’s no ad on my WordPress dashboard is someone’s oversight.
Just this morning I received emails saying:
- OregonLive.com’s Shopping Deals
- Freelance Photography Guide on Sale
- From someone on Twitter: People are lining up for this. Forex Power Strategy course: $99 for the first 99 people
- From Amazon.com: New Dansko Styles with Free Overnight Shipping
- From Jerusalem Post: Israel’s history in a perfect gift package for Rosh Hashana
- My Gift To You
- From NewsMax: 23 cent nutrient that can help flush away artery plaque
- Give Your Feedback (on Amazon order)
- A pop up announces that my AVG will expire or Ihave 39..38..37 days to renew
That’s just a sampling. We are inundated by people wanting our attention. My neighbor gave me a book with an article she’d written a number of years ago. She asked me to read it. Beverly leaves me notes to water or empty the garbage. My calendar gets filled by events I didn’t request; block parties, going away parties billed as a Hootenany, of all things. The sun roof is broken by a flying rock off the bridge and I have to take the car in for a replacement.
It’s sensory and demand overload, I tell you.
One thing I have control over is my blog and even here, I have ads asking you to take a moment to invest some time in my financial well being.
Hasn’t it all gotten just a little bit nuts?
The poem, My World, I wrote some years ago seems even more true today.
The world keeps spinning faster
like that steel merry-go-round
filled with playmates,
on my playground.
Pushed faster and faster
by the neighborhood bullies
today’s clowns of madness
until we’re horizontal,
barely holding on.
Pushing faster
slippery fingers
flying missiles
But I just learned Patience!!
and the clowns are convulsed with laughter.

So, you didn’t like our Hootenanny?
Sandi. I Iiked seeing a new part of your backyard and meeting more of your friends. I didn’t like dressing up like a cowboy or the lack of chairs. The food was good. I got tired of standing around.
Sandi, I just don’t have as much fun as I used to being around drinkers when I don’t drink.
