Cucumber

I have relished cucumbers all my life.  One of my earliest memories from childhood was when I was about two years old (I know the rough age because I know from my mother that I was no longer in that particular high chair after I was two years old) and eating cucumber rings from the metal table of my high chair.

I will eat cucumbers in any form.... fresh, in salads, pickled in one way or another (dill, Polish, hot-and-spicy, bread-and-butter, candied, and sweet (in order of preference)).

I have never met a cucumber I did not like.

I am still in the void, but I am trying to fix it.

Mute

I have been mute for quite a while now.  Perhaps that will change now.  I do not have a whole helluva lot to say at the moment, but I do feel again like trying to write again.   I seem to have lost my focus in life.  I seem to have lost the idea of having goals and aspirations.  I seem to be adrift, not really hearing or seeing any sort of call to do anything.   I was just going to say that "I would be content to sit all day." but that is not really accurate.  To sit and simply do nothing does not make me feel content either.  I am not sure what WOULD make me feel content, if anything.  But, in the same vein, I am not discontent.  I am simply devoid of emotion, devoid of goals, devoid of any feeling of purpose, devoid of desire, devoid of anything.  I have become a void.

Still Feeling Raw Hatred

A resurgence of the pure, raw hatred I have towards a few folks here has resurfaced in my mind.  Even though the people I speak of are horrid, wretched individuals, it is wrong for me to feel such hate for them.  I try to quell the feelings, but with this current resurgence in the feelings, I see I have failed.

Firesign Theater

I am not sure if any of you would even be familiar with this comedy group or not, but for me it was a favorite that I greatly enjoyed during my college years (especially graduate school).  In some ways, this group was considered an American version of "Monty Python" but was a little bit edgier and a bit more controversial.  I used to have a few of their long form shows on LP and listened to them and laughed and laughed.  I think I may perhaps order a CD again.  Here are my favorites:

How Can You Be in Two Places at Once When You're Not Anywhere at All


I Think We are All Bozos On This Bus

Anyone else familiar with these guys?  Or are they too unknown and perhaps too archaic for you here?  They are truly wonderful if you want to give them a try.  I think I will go order the CDs now.
