Flatulence - better men and most
likely woman have probably written about this topic before. Humorists or
comics armed with wit and a take no prisoners attitude. Or perhaps young
people in college getting to know new friends and roommates, discovering the
freedom of vocabulary in early bar patio conversations . . . I suspect I
have nothing new or insightful to offer . . . mostly just want to type the
word flatulence.
Needs context though, so
here goes . . . not yet . . . it will be in the next paragraph somewhere.
There might be hope also or maybe sorrow. I don't know yet. I do know that
there will be flatulence. Not necessarily the wicked wit or Adam Sandlet
flatulence. I covered WHY NOT above, but there will be the word flatulence.
- What do I do for fun? I don't seem to have a lot of time for activities
other than work or Conor/Sean related things, although I talk about them a
lot. Mountain Biking, Road tripping, festivals, etc. Work's tough
right now. The profession is changing pretty drastically, we spend a lot of
time justifying ourselves (mainly for the mortgage payments) worrying about
this takes up a lot of time and energy. The one problem with
worrying is that it tends to
become your hobby as well as your work. I do read quite a bit.
although at times my efforts are pretty pathetic. I gravitate to
everyman people who are highlighted by their ability to read and think and
entertain - I look for stimulating intellectual discussions, but mostly
lately it's mostly middle aged people who want to talk about NPR . . . all
the time . . . NPR . . . the cult of.
- I've read a lot of
books, including those Oprah type books, I've waded through almost every
kind of story there is - I have not achieved greatness at this, but I have
had fun. Lots of crap (which is not always a bad thing) but
I've also managed to squeeze in some decent and occasionally great ones.
Any suggestions for a good read would be appreciated. I pretty much
read anything. Once I like an author I get addicted. When I
was in 8th grade I went through my dark, Russian phase--Solzhenitsyn (sp?)
etc. then the Brautigan phase then the Bowden phase, then the
McGuane phase, then the Chatwin phase, then the . . .. Right now I'm
reading Don't Know Much About the Bible. It's actually quite
interesting and very entertaining. I'm "unclaimed" when it comes to
religion for the most part I'm just reading the book to be able to justify
my distrust of organized religion. but, that's a whole separate
topic. At least if you belong to the church of one, when you are alone
eating Taco Bell, there's nobody there to share in the flatulence.
DONE!
