Some People Have Burning Bushes

Sometimes life gives you lemons and you start to make lemonade without first realizing that you might need that thing that squeezes out the lemon juice so you do it by hand and get lemon all over you. Slowly your drive to make lemonade wanes and eventually it becomes a chore each day to work on your lemonade project. You go to wipe your eyes and get lemon juice in them. Then you start to cry and you can't tell if it's caused by your defeat or the acid reacting with your gazers.

Feeling defeated and energy-drained from a laborious game of golf I realized why the sport has been claimed by the rich. It's not because clubs are expensive and you have to wear collared shirts. It's because it's boring. Rich people love to do boring things because it's the easiest way to separate themselves from poor people. Poor people aren't going to waste their time doing something as frustrating, boring and tiring as golf, so they leave it to the rich. Rich people like this. It allows for a one-to-one correspondence between playing golf and being loaded.

After golf I felt what worms feel like when they wander onto pavement and then the sun comes out. No, not blind and helpless, more like hot.

I slunk into a deep depression as a result of my lack of motivation to work on my own version of Linux. I glimpsed scenes of Keeping Up With the Kardashians in horror and I had a serious conversation with the dog since no one else was listening.

Tired, frustrated and bored, I decided to brush the pearlies and go to bed.

When, what to my wandering eyes should appear, but a tiny caterpillar on my toothpaste. Caterpillar had been there before, all week in fact, but today his presence was awesome.

Not everyone has a toothpaste caterpillar, sent from the heavens to watch over them and provide guidance in their time of need. Most likely, I'm the only one blessed with a toothpaste fairy goderpillar and I should be thankful for that.

He might be dead and he sure as hell isn't going to find any nutrition from Crest so maybe he's a sign. "Don't live in the bathroom" or "Be better at not dying". At this point I'm not sure. I am quite certain, however, that caterpillar's significance will come clear to me later in the week.

I did have to euthanize a mouse yesterday and I've heard these things come in threes from people who like to make stupid comments during difficult situations.

I'll keep you all posted.

Next time I'll talk about that inspiring thing I was thinking of, if I don't have too much lemon in my eye.
