uptake

was gonna write something goode for a change
but i thought nah
i'll just givem more of the same olde tripe
the olde guff and baloney
the meaningless dribble couched in embarrassing 4th form poetry
the pseudo oriental poppycock
half digested buddhist hippy nonsense
the bragging and whining
the "oh poor me but arent i great"?
you know
(groaning fiendss:yeah we know)
all that rambling vague bullshit about the sea n the sky
all that rose tinted schmaltzy nostalgiarama
about bass playing or painting...puh-leeze..
yeah yeah
ah whatever....
all that stuff
all that jive
all that whatchamacallit
yeah you got it now
slapdash impressionistic hoo ha
i mean real slapdash impressionistic hoo ha
and sillie spellingz or archaic words like lute
or family schmamily yawn it ups
all the kids with cute nicknames like
bongo
and jumper
a loopy olde guy in the daddy bizness
with five fiery fillies
starring ttb as nevets yeblik
this week
hilarity ensues as aussie surfer kids
drop round to date the twillies
yeblik is not handling the prospective suitors well
and baby jumper has just learned her first swear word
then the twillies switch identities to avoid being grounded
meanwhile yeblik is speaking at a prose festival
and the the doodles have doodled all over his prose
one of the doodles fish has babies...
one that the doodles had considered a boy
in a heartwarming and yet ribticklin' funny scene
yeblik gives the doodles a talk about the birds n bees n...fish
baby jumper swallows the twillies nano
nk starts to pronounce tomato as tomahto
until her dad arrives from u.s.
doodles get a pet rabbit which gets caught in dishwasher
and a visit to vet (cameo by russell crowe)
anyway
today ive had hummous n tomato bagels
and tacquitos with guac
some sweets
fiji water
walked along the beach
storm has abated
will write
tomorrow

Why does this post say 1.34pm when it's 5.34pm before it actually surfaces on blogger?

What do you want to bet it's going to be "fuck!"? She is her daddy's girl after all. ;-)

And I think with the twillies there for a year you are going to get a lot of use out of the "just what do you have planned for my daughter?" look the pic of you with Elli in Sweden earlier this year showed so well. On the bright side it will be great blog fodder. :-)

SK...Just another day in a normal, busy, chaotic, children filled household....its nice to hear that it's the same (well not exactly the same but you know what I mean)at your place as it is at my place.

hope the mother and babies are doing well !!!

my child's first swear-word was 'crap' which is rather mild in the big scheme of things...she gave her first prepared speech in class the other day...it was about the 'people' she loves...grandma and grandpa...their dog....our dog...unfortunately poor ol' ma and pa don't rate a mention in it...never mind...she calls herself our angel...such is life with a small child...they're such funny creatures, aren't they...

Man, I would hate to be the father of teenage daughters - imagine some worthless oik just itching to do to them what you did to teenage girls when you were that age...kripes!

questioning mind said...

I'm in Australia.

So that does not answer my question.

Unless you manually update it, the time you start writing your blog entry is the time that will show up. So if you start a blog, have to leave it for a while before you can finish, and don't update the time, it will still show the starting time. And if you are really slow (and don't bother to update), it can even show a different date.

Brilliant and as off the cuff as ever..
Sorry Steve, no matter how hard you try to "dumb down n dirty" what u do, u still manage to add that essence that keeps me coming back for more..gotta hand it to you. Genius like it or lump it..and of course, tis my opinion and mine only so you can want it or take it with a grain of salt. But I give it to you as truth through my eyes. That is all.

Enjoy it...you deserve it:)

ML,
don joe

I'm glad that the fishes in your abode happily multiply as opposed to being inhumanely fried in a kitchen stove.

veleska1970 said...

a bunny in the dishwasher? ouch. my daughter, when she was 4, decided to give her goldfish a bath one day. she caught him in his tank, despite his slipperiness, and placed him under the running tap and soaped him down really well with dish soap. so we ended up with a really spic-n-span dead fish.

"then the twillies switch identities to avoid being grounded"
that's funny~~but as usual, teenagers don't think things through. they don't realize that the solution to this problem would be to gound both of them. always better to just come clean, anyway.

friend of mine has a teenage boy and a teenage girl. (i have one of each (or they have me...whatever) but they are 5 and 3.)
he says of his teenage kids, with the girl, you stay up at night worrying someone is going to hurt them. with the boy, you stay up worrying he's going to kill himself doing something stoopid.

i plan on putting mine in the cryonic freezer for a few years on their next birthdays...

hi sk

loved your
blogg today
i've missed you

been a bit
out of touch ...
no bloggy time

went on
a very cool
colorado
rocky mountain
overnight fieldtrip
with my daughter, laura
and 40 something
of her dearest 5th
grade friends for
their elementary
school finale!

beautiful time
felt privileged to
be one of a few
parents along
for the ride

so
on this one
gorgeous 3 1/2
hour hike
i was singing
some of your
lovely songs
to myself

i wondered ...
can sk feel/hear me
in some way
getting into
this song
here a million
miles away

must be wild to
think that people
all over the entire
universe are humming/
singing/loving
your songs

sending
lots of love
diane
xoxo

no ah, this is all good
prose of biblical proportions
sea and sky musings
electricity
bring the storm in through our
windows
in the clearing what has washed upon the shore
of daily living
see
if that fish had been a seahorse...

peace and love to all
in all weather and
while doing the dishes

Got back from week in Mexico Sat, I had some fine guacamole in los restaurantes every day - love that stuff, and actual vine-ripened tomahtoes rather than the thick-skinned shippable corporate species. And Yeager at Club 1910 in San Carlos with Mexican band doing covers of Doors, Creedence, Oasis, Santana - but (sigh) no Church. Funny hearing the mexican singer feigning a Brit accent. iPod with noise-cancelling headphones was my savior for trip back.....ah, "Maya" and "Kept Everything" echoing in my head now as I leave work...mornings and days paraded through space and stripped of all their meaning....

We have a house bunny - he's a character. Roams all over, loves blueberries and pears.

It's not tripe, never will be; that's the voice of the self-critic in ye. I enjoy the little vignettes as much as the pomes and stories. Catching up on 3 day's worth now. Rain beginning to fall on a parched southeast landscape here - much needed. Send us an antipodean storm.

You're here early today killa.

Any chance we could go back to the early morning (Aust. time) blogs?

I fear this blogging is becoming a chore for you, and with all chores comes an element of procrastination...do you put off the blogging until late in the afternoon because you fell less enthused about it than you once did?

footy?
goal, post?
risking everything to live authentically
even when it causes you great suffering
and leads you down the wrong road to the right path
look at your feet (in sythn blunnies, bless your veggie sole! ha ha)
and thank them
for italia, brazil,anartica(surely I mispelled this)
bringing the hippy nonsense and sensibility
to blog fiends all over

love!
