Tweedle-lee-dee

I'm funny. Dammit, I know I'm funny. Sometimes unintentionally. Sometimes on purpose. But why can't I think of things to post on my blog? I look at the screen and my brain seems to take a vacation. It thinks: "Pretty colors. What are my cats doing? This TV show is boring. I'm tired. Do I have ADD? Am I just insane?" Yup. Stuck on that point. I have to say, I read the blog Hyperbole and a Half by Allie Brosh regularly. I love it. It's fucking hysterical. Ooooohhh. Fuck. Said it twice. But dammit, I'm an adult, I'm allowed to talk how I want. Of course, if this blog ever becomes something that people actually read, my mom will read this and say something about how the family could see it and we don't want to swear in front of family. :P Bah. They're just words, people. Maybe I should make up new swear words. Hmm... that could be interesting. But... do I take words that are already in existence and convince people to start thinking of them as curse words or do I make up new words? There's a thought.... Flirk. Nah... too close to fuck. Perft. Hmm... I kind of like that one. Perft. It's my new word. Now... to get it to catch on. I will have to work on that.

What the perft are you doing? Hee hee hee. It makes me giggle at least. That's a bonus. OK... so I will have to think of stories and curse words. Working on that. Tomorrow I have auditions for a play, and then I have rehearsal for the musical I'm in. Busy day. We'll see how that perft goes. Hee. Love it.

Slacker

Crap. Now the "Amadeus" tune is in my head to "I'm a slacker." :P I keep meaning to write more often, even once a day, but this is clearly not working to my liking. Especially because I have so much that I would like to write. I suppose I just need to set aside a time to do it. I am SO not good at that type of thing. Organizing my day into a timeline. I can follow what time I am supposed to teach which class and when my meetings are, but after that, not so much. And because of that I have nothing interesting to say. I mean, really, what the hell should I talk about now? I said last time I would discuss the tragic mess that is The Last Airbender. That would take too much time that I just don't feel like putting in right now. Now, Inception, an absolutely amazing movie, should also be discussed. But that one most definitely deserves a good amount of time spent on it. So....




I really need to come up with an idea for this damn blog. I know I can provide some funny stories from my personal experiences. But I need to do more than that. Now if I were an English professor, I would provide excerpts of the horrendous and incorrect grammar or just strange comments. But in Spanish, they don't get that type of opportunity since they are just trying to write simple sentences. The only other thing I can think of is looking at products with the dumbest/asinine directions, but I feel like that's been done enough already. Bah. I need time to think. I honestly cannot think of anything right now. Nada. But I will leave tonight with one of those products with bad instructions/comments.



My only thought on this is the following: I was unaware that there were edible candles.

I'm an Eiron

I am clearly too tired. I was trying to think of what to post, and I looked at the title of this blog. Think the song "Amadeus." Now imagine that to that tune, you are hearing this in your head... "I'm an eiron, I'm an eiron...I'm an eiron... I'm an eiron, I'm an eiron... I'm an eiron... I'm an eiron, I'm an eiron... I-I-I-I'm an eiron!" Wow. And it makes me giggle too. I am definitely way too tired.

Anyhoodle... I actually have already started this blog somewhere else, but it was too convoluted. I had posts in Spanish, posts in English, and absolutely no cohesion between the blog title, the web address, and the posts in English. Thus... I have this one. Indeed, any post that is dated before this one has been moved from the other blog to here so that it makes more sense. Just so you know. You... the only person reading this... who is me.... Hmmm. I need to work on that apparently. I suppose I can tell my friends, and then if they find it amusing, they'll tell their friends, and so on. Who the hell knows.

So.... are you wondering what in the world is an eiron? Fun stuff. It is a greek term, a stock character in old Greek comedies. He generally knocked down the braggart (the alazon) by making himself appear as less than he actually is. The word "irony" is derived from this character. I thought maybe I could use this because I can be kinda funny. And you know, the eiron appears in comedies. Also, he was considered by Aristotle to be a self-depreciator. Well, I am totally that. All the way. I'd add false ignorance, but there are times when my brain really does shut off, and I ask/say the dumbest things. But other than those times, I actually am intelligent. I promise. I have a Ph.D. to prove it. Hmm. I suppose that could just suggest I'm a good con artist, but let me tell you, I am the worst liar. Heh. Truly.

And I'm done for now. I want to watch TV and then go to sleep. Later kids.
