apples to apples

tonight
we listened to mozarts requiem
in millenium park
performed by some orchestra
and Tibetan Monks...
while playing Apples to Apples

in one turn
i was judging
and had the Theme:
Peaceful
now the offerings were
Blood
vs.
Bird Watching

i chose blood
much to the displeasure of the group
however here now is my further thought through resoning
bird watching involves trekking into the woods
potentially for hours
for the sole purpose of sitting
and waiting
for some birds to come by
now you dont catch them
snare them
shoot them
or eat them
you dont eve take photos of them
you
just
watch
now to me this is torture
ive birdwatched before
ive had a freakin chickadee eat out of my hand
but my thought the whole time was
"i wonder if i could close my hand fast enough
to catch this little bitch
and if it pecking the inside of my hand
would hurt"
not fun
not Peaceful
at
all

now BLOOD
on the other hand
everyone was sitting there thinking
death
violence
pools of blood
me
im thinking
giving blood
you go in there
lie down on a couch
and yeah they sometimes cant find the vein at first
but then
you just sit there
with blood pumpin on out
lying on your back
a bit of euphoria setting in
especially if you havent eaten much that day
and its all good
you can lay there like a lazy bitch
cause ya know what?
youre giving blood
participating in a good cause
and then
when yous all done
they make you sit there a bit longer
eat some free pretzels and cheeze crackers
drink some oj and apple juice
and again
all good
peaceful
in harmony with the world
youve taken a nap
a time out from life
and not only have you not done a detriment to yourself
youve improved things

so there
Blood = Peaceful
in my brain
but then
theres some debate as to the validity of my brain
we will leave it at that

plans for tomorrow
sleep for one...
ahhhh insomnia
then i think im going to go and try to make friends
with the neighbors
down the street
i wanted to stop by tonight
they were haveing a huge party
tons of bike folks too
but i was at that point
tired and irked
(had to take the red to the blue to get home... hell)
so tomorrow
perhaps i will go by
and say hallloooo.
and then paint some constallations
downstairs

now lets take a second shot
at this sleep deal
ha.
good luck to me.
