Stupid Depressing Depression

By Moonbeam McQueen

This is just total whining. Sorry, but I succumb to it sometimes. I’ve had a depressing couple of days, and I’m trying to rise above it, because it will just kick my bootie if I don’t watch it.

I can’t write. Tom’s working on his new business, and I’m “the administrator” (read: “secretary”). It’s leaving me no time for writing, which makes me sad and grouchy. Don’t worry, I’ll work it out, and it’s not Tom’s fault, it’s just the way things are right now. We sit side-by-side, have major creative and business differences, and any spare time is filled with his music. I do have my little headphones on, and right now I’m pumping in some flamenco music, but I like silencio. There is no silence. I like writing. I can’t write.

I really, really want to help him, but I want a little time for my projects too. It’ll come, it’s just going to take time to adjust.

Maybe this venting will help. I think I’ll go to bed now.

    I love silence. Seriously. When I’m home alone I hardly ever have sound going in the house. I probably already told you that, though. Today I was on a call for a job and in the background were three loud Chihuahuas barking. I could tape that for you and you can play that instead. Maybe then Tom will let you have a lap dog. LOL. :)

    I love Little Miss’s comment! Silence truly is golden. We’re at the bottom of this winter’s pit today. Let’s climb the fuck out!

    Failing silence, recall the “REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (Part 3)” from way back in ‘79. Lyrics follow …

    Ian Dury and the Blockheads

    REASONS TO BE CHEERFUL (PART 3)

    Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed

    Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed

    Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed

    Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed

    Why don’t you get back into bed?, Why don’t you get back into bed

    Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)

    Some of Buddy Holly, the working folly
    Good Golly Miss Molly and boats
    Hammersmith Palais, the Bolshoi Ballet
    Jump back in the alley, add nanny goats

    Eighteen-wheeler Scammels, Domineker camels
    All other mammals plus equal votes
    Seeing Piccadilly, Fanny Smith and Willy
    Being rather silly and porridge oats

    A bit of grin and bear it, a bit of come and share it
    You’re welcome, we can spare it, yellow socks
    Too short to be haughty, too nutty to be naughty
    Going on forty, no electric shocks

    The juice of the carrot, the smile of a parrot
    A little drop of claret – anything that rocks
    Elvis and Scotty, the days when I ain’t spotty,
    Sitting on the potty, curing smallpox

    Reasons to be Cheerful (Part 3)

    Health service glasses, gigolos and brasses
    Round or skinny bottoms

    Take your mum to Paris, lighting up the chalice
    Wee Willy Harris
    Bantu Stephen Biko, listening to Rico
    Harpo, Groucho, Chico

    Cheddar cheese and pickle, the Vincent motor sickle
    Slap and tickle
    Woody Allen, Dali, Dimitri and Pasquale
    Balabalabala and Volare

    Something nice to study, phoning up a buddy
    Being in my nuddy
    Saying ‘okey-dokey’, singalonga Smokey
    Coming out of chokey

    John Coltrane’s soprano, Adi Celantano
    Bonar Colleano

    Glad to hear it dude! My memory of this song was better than the actual song. There were other novelty songs of that era that were funnier, but I’m having trouble remembering them.
