After just a few days of this, I'm thinking we need to get a grip on activities.
Like, for example. We could be changing the air in our bicycle tires!
We could be washing our cats!
We could be watching paint dry!
That would be far more interesting than engaging in rabid harangues, don't ya think?
Learn to play a new musical instrument. Plant some flowers. Plant some vegetables. Get to know your weird neighbor; you know, the one over across the street, who looks so old and sad.
Get drunk and stay up all night and take photos of the dawn with your digital camera. Take your dog for a very long walk, and get out to where it's safe to let him off lead for awhile, so he can run.
Write a fucking poem. Don't worry about whether you can write poems. It doesn't matter. Just try. It's great.
Get out of your fucking house. Take your dog, if you have one. If you have a cat, give her a nice chicken treat. Go out. Get out.
Find the most beautiful place you can anywhere near where you live. Bring. a picnic. Bring a friend, if you have a friend.
Get out there. Stop hanging around here hassling people.
Get out there and get real. Do it.
I have to. I promised to. I will, and y'all better do it too.
Soon. Now.
Love.
