Andy ‘the hack’ Warhol said once that everyone will get 15 minutes of fame. Since then the media has been droning on this mantra and the flock has followed and mumbled along even though the piper was really a drug addled hack who preyed on the work of others to promote him self and exploit those around him. But really we aren’t all that hard to pin. So why not …right… get yours before some one else does. (Shrug and chagrin)
However, let us suppose for a moment that the hack was on to something. How would you want to spend your 15 minutes of fame or how would you like to be known for your 15 minutes.
We really over use the phrase and are collectively as unoriginal as the hack but I don’t want to nail my 15 minutes down to anything because a better idea might come along.
Because I’ve had some pretty good ideas… well not so much good ideas a they were ideas that would certainly have gotten me the 15 minutes, although they were mainly in the realm of notorious and I don’t really know if I have the requisite skills to do some of it but it certainly sounded good in theory. But reason prevailed or at least that’s the story I’m sticking too. You know incase the guys with dot gov are still reading since the last misuse of certain words.
I assure you that all of those ill thought ideas died in the planning stages and we firmly realize that any infamy would probably be as a story on the Darwin Awards or Stupid Human tricks or even to a lesser degree a WTF Wednesday episode or issue. Anyway.
I should probably just record the stuff I ramble on about, I try to write down and I end up with a literal shoe box full of little notes of stuff I’ve muttered, thought, ideas I’ve hatched.
Hoover has asked me at least once, ‘do you even listen to what you are saying?’
Honestly? Ah…
No, Mainly I do but I get into these stream of consciousness rambles and just go with the flow of things and the idea is to just not stop talking or if you are writing to just keep the words coming out and not worry if the context makes sense.
Some of you may be asking how is it any different from all of this?
Well not so much really I try to recreate it a bit here but there is some thought put into it all and I do pause sometimes to think…yeah I know shock right… Yes I can and do think … at least sometimes, but thanks for asking.
But I’m not a very fast typist so I have time to see what I’m saying unless I close my eyes while I’m typing to entertain myself. Yes sometimes it is that easy. Happiness is in the little things. I just have to get into the practice of rereading things. What a bother (roll eyes)
However, I would like the 15 minutes to be for something that makes other people go you know that is pretty darn cool, like Boxer Hockey and not like most of the random stuff that is in my head. But it keeps me happy and one or three of you chuckle out there now and again so you laugh too. Now if there were just a way to turn that into a little bling. I’m working on a couple of things. I’ll keep you informed as they develop … btw some of my plans develop on a movement rate akin to glacial movement… just saying.
Random thought of the day
I would by music but they called me Pirate and that is just not something you let go of lightly. See that could have been the 15 minutes, thankfully it was not but the gall lawyers call me pirate. If that’s not the pot calling the kettle black. If you are a lawyer I mean that will the utmost respect to your profession and some of you are actually decent people but a lot of you are scurvy dogs who should just own up to the fact that your shingle should marked with a skull and cross bones. Hoist the colors and pass the rum.
Litter box thought… this really is Disney Land … not the litter box but here and all of our supposed troubles.
