More Than A Feeling

 


I was texting with a friend who had a bunch of guests over and she mentioned it was a bit of a struggle to be a good host. I told her to not overdo the Martha Stewart vibing. Her guests can fend for themselves, I hit back. 

Then I kept looking at the word, "fend." It looked so foreign to me. I had to say it out loud a few times. Was I stroking? Fend. Fend. I then googled the meaning just to be sure I was using the right word. I mean, who the hell says that word anymore!? Am I becoming my parents? Jesus, Mary and Joseph. I noticed the other day I used another word that old fogeys use. I can't remember what it was. It wasn't, "malarkey." I can honestly say I have never used that word in my life. Language and hairstyles can give away a generation. (What's with those bowl cuts anyway?) Last night I looked up, ASMR. It's an acronym for, autonomous sensory meridian response. Eh? I've seen it a lot lately, so being the hip, far out chick I am, I googled it. It implies more than a feeling and its triggered by an audio sensation. I think. 


Well. I don't think I have experienced this neck orgasm. I've had goosebumps when I hear good live music. I've experienced sensations in southern regions, but not the neck thing. 

I admit it's hard sometimes to even understand what these rascals are talking about these days. My daughter sent me a meme one day with the following words, "I'm dead." The meme was probably some frickin cute animal doing a cute animal thing, so why was she dead? Beats me.

I wish people still talked like Shakespeare wrote. It was beautiful. Now we have, boujee, skibidi, sus, cap... There are some words I use in writing I'd never say out loud.  Words like, ain't, y'all, dude, toot sweet, sus, groovy, etcetera, etcetera.

I'm not sure how you'd say ASMR IRL. There's an app where you can translate slang. 

English: "Last night I played a song that gave me goosebumps."

Slang: "Last night I jammed to a track that totally gave me chills."

🙄🤔😬😐

That reads like it's 1999. 

Anyhow, I'll try and keep up with the ever changing chin wag. I also hope to achieve ASMR one day, but I'd probably just refer to it as the shivers.

Southern regions? Like Alabama?

An Empty Vessel

Image
He fills his head with Bible quotes  to silence the storm inside  An empty, hollow shell he mimics in disguise  You were not wanted You were unplanned  You are a nothing You have no stand  He bows his head and speaks in tongues  to still the flames of rage the pretender, fake, the fraud  hiding in plain sight You were a mistake  A thirty minute accident  a constant regretful memory  who seeks reason to breathe  from holy ghosts  and devils in red ties  the more you take the lesser man you are smoke and mirrors a shifting shape unseen  You are a mistake  You know it well A fake, a fraud, a lie. *Yes, I'm thinking of a certain someone we know.

Denver, Dover, Dever

Image
  OMG! Kelly Denver, I mean Dover, no, Dever was on the stand in the Karen Read Trial. Holy Moly!  In 2023, she wrote a statement claiming she saw two Canton police officers who were in the sallyport "for a wildly long time." where Karen Read's SUV had been towed. Now Devers, who gets snippy if her name is mispronounced, says that was all a false memory. She now says she wasn't even working at the time the SUV was brought in. Taking the stand on Monday, she accused the defense of angrily confronting her after learning she had changed her testimony, then Dever's states they threatened to charge her with perjury. She said she went to the FBI to make a complaint. Alan Jackson, the defense attorney asks, "Do you have a report?" Naturally, she did not, because she made no such report.  Of all the people who have pissed me off, and there is a long list, she is by far the worst. She is a cop whose recall of events is crucial. She is hostile and a terrible liar....

FAFO Literally

Image
   Gosh, well isn't that generous. $5,000.  I'm gonna go out right now and find me an Elon, ready to spare some sperm and have me some babies. I'll be rich! Oh, wait... Ooh, that's gonna put a dent in my FA for the cause. Let's see... $5,000 - $2,854 = $2,146 left for me to... Oh, wait... Hmm... so, $70 x 12 = $840, which leaves me with $1,306. So, I will need a bassinet, crib, some bedding, burpy towels, baby wipes, baby bottles, formula, breast pump, room monitor, pediatrician, onesies, uh ... I need to work! Who's going to care for my baby while I'm gone!? I'm so tired. I can't do this. The government has shut down all assistance. What am I going to do with a baby!? I think I'll go have a glass of wine with my peeps instead. *All information Googled.
