May Toothpicks Never Stand Alone!

After a day of realism at out in the realm called real life people sit down in their comfy chairs and look up the world through the eyes of others. The myth of greener grass in a pasture they’ll never own keeps everyone coming back to peek through the hole in their neighbors fence drilled for that very purpose. So here it is, here’s my cracked board, here’s the hole I drilled just for you.

I get home from working feeling beat down and chewed up and spit out and punched in and then people expect me to write something on my blog. And they get home from work and wanting to escape their reality look up some half dead blog spotted with ugly festering sores oozing criticism, dry and crusted where it’s gotten old. Then there looks something promising, some plot that’s looks green and fresh but a closer inspection reveals an over fertilized act of original thought leaving the end result burned and worse for the effort. But they continue to look for something because they all know it’s there. This way and that till almost all eyes are worn out and tired. Then suddenly, almost as if there’s a mirror they see an eye staring back at them. Frightened they jump back and notice the eye in the mirror jump away. And then, they look again and see that it was their neighbor staring in to their yard.

But I know why people need Dirt Bikes and Bush Monkeys and ATVs and TV sets. It’s cause they don’t have enough fun at work. Too bad for them.

Oh and you never know when someone puts a picture in front of his fence so you see only what he wants you to see.

But I woudn't do that.

Maybe.

I can't get at my mouthwash either. I read the label on the side of the bottle and it said "Don't use if seal is broken." But for the life of me I can't figure out how to use if I don't break the seal.

I appreciate your irony. Not a lot of people can do that without sounding bitter.
