mind bad-times walks
The mind picks some very bad times to take a walk doesn't it?
monday morning long
In my life long study of human beings, I have found that no matter how hard they try, they have found no way yet to prevent the arrival of Monday morning. And they do try, of course, but Monday always comes, and all the drones have to scuttle back to their dreary workday lives of meaningless toin and suffering.
mean firsts breakfast
I know family comes first, but shouldn't that mean after breakfast?
ignorance appreciate fickle
It was clear to me that it wouldn't matter what I did - they would never truly appreciate me or learn what I had to offer. They were far beyond fickle - they were insensible, like kittens,predatory little things, distracted by the first bit of string or shiny bauble that rolled across the floor, and nothing I could ever say or do could possibly make any kind of dent in their willful ignorance.
nice pride clothes
I thought about the nice clothes that I always wore. Well of course I did. I took pride in being the best dressed monster in Dade County.
afternoon chance showers
Mutilated corpses with a chance of afternoon showers. I got dressed and went to work.
moving might way
But as I have noticed on more than one occaision, life itself is unfair, and there is no complaint department, so we might as well accept things the way they happen, clean up the mess, and move on.
book instruction situation
I often find myself in situations where it seems to me like everyone else has read the instruction book
interesting obligation
Life's only obligation, afterall, was to be interesting.
children crazy sleep
Weren't we all crazy in our sleep? What was sleep, after all, but the process by which we dumped our insanity into a dark subconscious pit and came out on the other side ready to eat cereal instead of our neighbor's children?
dirty use language
Nothing in life is fair. Fair is a dirty word and I'll thank you not to use that language around me.
stupid people mind
Anybody can be charming if they don't mind faking it, saying all the stupid, obvious, nauseating things that a conscience keeps most people from saying. Happily, I don't have a conscience. I say them.
party talking ideas
I don't know if you have noticed this, but it is quite possible for two human beings to have a conversation in which one or both parties involved has absolutely no idea what they're talking about.
avoid bit bogged bores certainly techniques writers
I certainly try to avoid getting bogged down in forensics. There is certainly a whole lot of other writers who know a lot more than me about it. I know enough about it to do a little bit of background on laboratory techniques and stuff. But it kind of bores me.
