Wimp Time
Mon Nov 08 2004



There are moments in keeping an online diary, where one mulls over what to write, and you realize that everything that is uppermost in your mind is of a very personal nature.

There are some brave souls among us, who write those innermost thoughts and perhaps put them in the "friends only" category and let the chips fall where they may. I admire your openness.

In this rarefied realm, I have discovered I am a true wimp.

Today there are political observations I might make, and tumultuous emotional ponderings that I might launch out into cyberspace, or truly bizzarro speculations as to the nature of Life, the Universe, and Everything that if I wrote them here, might ensconce me permanently in the loony bin henceforth and forevermore.

But my wimpism protects me from this fate.

It also may at times make me seem boring. And let us be frank. Sometimes life IS boring! Or at least reporting the details of it, makes it seem that way. That must be why newspeople do so much speculation all the time. It fills in the gaps where world leaders are taking a shower and brushing their teeth, not having momentous meetings or making absurd proclamations. So we must hear about their LAST momentous meeting AD NAUSEUM until they get out of the shower, or come back from the dentist or return from grocery shopping.

Which brings me to the original topic of my diary, that I rejected at first, but seems to be floating to the surface, (as great truths always do).... My big thing for today is to go grocery shopping.

What can I tell you?

We have to eat.

And perhaps after shopping and eating and showering and brushing my teeth, I will have time to sit down and write an amusing story that doesn't have anything mundane in it at all.

But that's why they call it fiction.

It isn't real.

Real has boring bits.

This is one of them.

But just wait a little while. Something momentous will happen. And then I will tell you all about it. Pray God that said momentousness will be something uplifting eh?

    The fabric of life is made up of at least 80% boring and mundane. The other 20% is what makes my hair stand on end (or is that just the really bad haircut I got a few weeks ago?) *toddles off scratching chin*

    I have never found your diary to be boring! You are wise and witty and your diary appeals to a very diverse range of people. Sometimes we read blogs for their outrageous content, and sometimes we read blogs for their boring or mundane content. Sometimes the boring and mundane content is a comfort in an outrageous world.

    I like the mundane bits in diaries, I don't know why though, makes them seem more real somehow!

    Doing ordinary things and having an ordinary everyday life is not something to be taken for granted. There are many people who can't shower themselves, eat breakfast and go shopping.
    Be careful what you wish for! Hee, hee.. :)

    hey mon amie there are so many levels to the mind and heart so many truths that make up the soul you seem to be fairly intimate with this journal

    but I guess there are some things that we will rarely even admit to ourselves

    I find that I can be fairly intimate with deardiary a lot of things are put aside but that doesnt mean that the ones that you do enter are not intimate it may not be an all inclusive kind of writing

    to me intimacy is like a sweet perfume that has a strong scent in this journal

    maybe the only risk is admissions made to the self

    life is never boring to me it is always a wild ride I wonder if I really mean this hey I will think about this hee hee

    have a beautiful day

    The world may be falling apart around us, but we have to eat. THAT sums up my weekend rather nicely.

    You are never boring! Imagine if all you had to talk about was something silly like yarn or something. Oh - that's me. ;o0

    Hi, yes we all feel bored some times. Yes at times god can help. I just returned from church. I am planning to go for daily mass. But It's hard as the mass is at 6.20 AM and have to get up at least by 5.30AM. Today I managed but came home to get dressed to office.

    Do your Jams and look for some new recepies, stuff you will be all right.

    Take care

    I don't think it makes you a wimp. For some it's simply too hard to express to some total stranger what is really going on in their minds and hearts. I like your *boring* bits, because you always add a bit of humour. ;-)

    I have to say your diary is nothing but boring. On the other hand mine could use a little help....
