2009 Has Broken My Brain

by John Shore on January 7, 2009 · 13 comments

A pox upon these these accursed new years, with their positively pristine possibilities, their perfectly positioned potentialities, their perennial promise of power and prestige! A large pox, too! A medium or small pox won’t do in this case! For already has the chubby-cheeked 2009 cherub changed into a chuckling, cheerful Chucky chillingly chopping at my chances for change.

Um.

Say, would you please excuse that? I’m terribly sorry for it. I have no idea what that was. I’m having a perfectly fine year. In the past week I’ve written over 30,000 publishable words. That’s 75% of an entire trade paperback book.

Oh, [unacceptably un-Christian word]. I knew this was going to happen.

I’ve broken my brain.

Bummer. Bad beginning. Boy, I better begin bouncing back before blindly and blithely becoming beyond the bounds best

Please help me.

 

Even though at this point it’s probably useless, join my Facebook page.

John,

We had such a horrible spell of horrible weather at the start of January. That may have contributed to your mental condition. I know I was so cold I put on socks three days in a row…

“Bummer. Bad beginning. Boy, I better begin bouncing back before blindly and blithely becoming beyond the bounds best”

Blimey.

That's the problem, Casey! You are multi-tasking. That should be avoided at all costs. Do the project first, since (I assume) there's a deadline ;-)

Bet John's been doing the same thing (multi-tasking). See where that gets you in the long run?!?

Latoya: the opposite of boredom, really. Brain bust.

Casey: Your personal evolution, you mean, or just … evolution generally? Either way, for Key Evolution Information, I totally recommend watching Jerry Springer. Talk about … feedback.

While perfectly poised to praise your prose, your boss brain remains buoyant yet broken beyond this fan's fumble-fingered fixing.
