Today I allowing for a little randomness in selecting the
topic for today as I am a little spent to be honest. So, after searching for a list and prodding
my lovely wife to provide a number I have been tasked with writing about how I
would make the world a better place.
Nothing like a light topic to wrap up my day…ugh.
In some ways, this should be easy, right. Just simply choose some great world ill and
give a few lines on how I would magically make it go away. That would neither be interesting or likely fulfill
my 500 word goal. I also thought I could
go the route of… going back in time to tell the Clinton camp that rather than
chasing Arizona maybe they should actually try to win something, anything in
the Midwest. That however would brand me
as a political rabble rouser and there is plenty of time for that later. Although they really should have.
No, rather I am going to dance around the topic for several
hundred words without ever really settling on a topic because, frankly, I am
just having that sort of day. I suppose
I should have expected it after getting so little sleep last night for whatever
reason. I still think I am trying to get
back on normal time after the two week break from reality of the holidays where
staying up until 3 am watching Game of Thrones was considered perfectly
reasonable especially when combined with the entire household sleeping until at
least noon. It was great and felt like
college again without the regret of blowing of my 8:00 “Music Appreciation” class
in the process. What could be better. None of which has any effect on the state of
the world and is most surely not going to make it better unless we could all collectively
adopt that as the preferred and accepted lifestyle which would eliminate any
possibility for feeling even the slightest bit guilty and would also eliminate
the hang-over recovery period when you need to go back to a reality that involves
getting out of bed in the morning and actually going places (many of which you
would rather not go to.) Which is the
state that I am in now as I can’t seem to quite get my internal clock to get
back with the program.
Of course, the other great advantage to adopting that
calendar as the national norm would be that we could considerably simplify the
food manufacturing industry because all you tend to want to eat while
maintaining a schedule as that is basically crap. And if we are being more specific, crap that
involves chips and French onion dip with perhaps a side of popcorn. All other food grouping are relegated to
complete irrelevance and would no longer be needed. Just think of the productivity gains that are
to be had there because of all the things that could be eliminated from
production. You likely would not need to
farm anything other than popcorn because I am pretty sure there is little if
any actual potato in cheap wavy full salt and fat potato chips and I can guarantee
that there is no real onion, French or otherwise, in French onion dip. It would be good that we could eliminate the
work involved in producing all that other stuff because after staying up until
3 am watching GOTs (for those of us in the know) and then sleeping until
afternoon’ish, there is little chance that you are going to get any meaningful
work out of any of us. I mean isn’t
preparing the popcorn and then trying to scrounge up a moderately clean bowl to
put it in from the pile of unwashed stuff in the kitchen work enough. I mean really those plates in the sink almost
fell everywhere…
Ah well, we can dream can’t we.
