That’s when I learned this little poem. I used to repeat it over and over. And today, while reading quotes about insanity, I found it again.
One bright day in the middle of the night, two dead boys went out to fight. Back to back, they faced each other, and with their swords they shot each other. A deaf policeman, hearing the noise, came to the rescue of the two dead boys. If you don’t believe this lie is true, ask the blind man; he saw it too.
I pull into the parking lot. “Only five cars,” I think to myself. I’ve beat the lunch rush.
By the time I get my stuff together, two more cars pull up. “I’m still doing ok.” I rush to the door, hoping to get in line before it gets longer.
On the door is a note, it read: “In honor of Veterans Day, the Post Office will be closed on Thursday, November 11.”
I’m such a dumbass.
For those of you new to this, it’s really simple. All you need to do is pick someone (or sometwo or somethree) off of your blogroll and post on your site just why you feel that they are linkworthy. Why the heck did you link them? Why are they given that place of prominence over there on your sidebar? Are they funny? Are they wise? Are they just too damn good looking to pass by? Let us know about them.
You know it will just make their day to see their name in the spotlight, right? Remember, we’re spreading friendly feelings with this exercise. Plus, as far as I’m concerned, you can never have too much love out here in blogland.
Oh, and be sure to track back to this post so that we can all follow who’s getting linked.
Here’s some from my blogroll:
JustAGirl, or JaG. I can’t recall exactly how I found her, but I absolutely love how refreshing it is to read her blog. I have always had a fascination with anything from “overseas”, so the fact that she is Dutch probably plays into it somehow.
Mir, who is not only a space program, but also a great friend. I recently discovered she can hit a high F. A better person you will not meet.
And Skatemom, who has inspired me in many ways to get off my doofus and start moving again. She’s also a fellow Texan, but please don’t hold that against her, there are quite a few of us.
