Elaborate

Elaborate

Writing is great. You just keep on going, and write and write and eventually you hit a rhythm that sticks and suddenly you're off to where the world is a sunnier place and self-expression is done by a few key taps that rock your world. Everyone should do it. It's a remedy for seasonal depression that knows no equal other than a stiff walk at lunchtime while being pursued by the last remnants of a possee. Still, that leads into another story that can wait. 'Wait' is a verb of interesting simplicity and fundamentalism. There's no way to define it without using it, and so it's auto-defining? Fascinating. There must be many words which are defined by themselves and we haven't even considered that fact yet, at least not here in this forum.

Anyway, to write is to clear one's head and express one self on any number of topics, none of which needs to be relevant! It's marvelous, unless you intend to make a living of it, in which case you're facing a whole new situation. As 'Wacky Races' zooms onto the television next to me it seems appropriate to stop and think for a moment about what's been going on this week. What HAS been going on this week? I think for me it has been dominated by the Presidential debate that took place on Tuesday night. Crikey, it was nice to see the race evened up again after a brutally one-sided first event. Admittedly I am biased toward the blue Democrats but almost entirely because I dislike the tactics deployed by the Republicans. They're such bad boys I just can't stomach the idea of being nice to them, and in any case I kind of like Vice President Biden, who gave a good pummelling in the vice-presidential debate. Apart from that, something feels wrong and imbalanced. Something is missing.

Crikey, if you look up 'Wacky Races' on Wikipedia and scroll down you can see replicas of the cartoon's cars that appear at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Amazing!

Where was I? Oh yes, something is missing and I feel somehow lost, as if the better part of my has been placed under a rock somewhere for storage until daylight hours begin to lengthen once more. Sigh.

A gorilla in a blonde wig and makeup is chasing Dick Dastardly and Muttley. Excellent! Enough silly blogging. The 'LA Story' review can wait! Greek practice shall supplant it. Nayahahahaa.

Oliver.
