Bottlenecked Ideas

When someone like me who has a whole lot to say about nothing, spending months and months not getting it out in writing is a disaster waiting to happen. It's overwhelming. Every couple of weeks since last October I've considered jumping on and getting some thoughts out, but each time I think about it, the task seems a little more daunting because there are hundreds of ideas all piling up on top of each other and the sum of them all is ZERO!

Ok, that was my opening rant just to get me back in the swing of this, so here goes nothin'...

I have a crack theory about the elusive chupacabra. There is maybe one other person besides you who is reading this blog or will read it at some point, and you two may or may not know what a chupacabra is, so if you don't, I recommend going to Google or Wikipedia (dare I say YouTube) and do some homework because it's major. Or, in lieu of hours of tireless research, I could just tell you that it's a mythological (or is it?) creature that allegedly drinks the blood of goats and leaves them for dead. Now that we've got that cleared up, I made the observation a while back that there are no goats in my neighborhood. And since it has been months since I first made that observation, the circumstantial evidence leads me to believe that, in fact... are you ready?

Cookie is a chupacabra.

That's right. Now, I know that there's only the two of you reading, so that's why I can say that here. I don't want it to get out because then there would be paparazzi and tabloid journalists and various other annoyances associated with having a very extraordinary animal living in my home. So, let's just keep it between us, shall we? :)

Lately my Scrabble addiction has not been helped at all by the fact that I somehow won a free membership to Club Pogo - an online games site that features... you guessed it... Scrabble. I just love words and how people use them to communicate. It's just unreal. It's just amazing that we can use all these sounds and shapes, which are all just symbols, to transmit ideas to one another. Wow... I could go there for hours, but I won't because I know you'd spend all your free time reading this and not get anything else done. So, as a service to you, I'll leave that alone.

I'm going to try to be better about this blog thing, but with school starting next week, we'll see how that pans out... So, until the next time!
