Daze of the Weak: No. 60

Wednesday 11 AM
I made a sticky mess this morning.

I tried to clean it up but only managed to spread it around into a bigger, thinner sticky patch. I thought I would scrape it all back together again and start from scratch. Well, I did get it all together again, but it was a different kind of stick mess - with dust and crumbs and curly hairs in

Ahh.., there is "life" and there is "life", just as there is "love" and there is "love".
Also there is "change" and there is "change". Some change is purposeful, some random and directionless and a lot that goes in greater or lesser circles. Even the desire to avoid change is a desire for change: It is a desire to remove the perceived threat that imminent adverse change might bring. That is what links it to anxiety and worry, the existence of which falls purely in the domain of those with life. Hence the circle completes itself in the perfect self-defining tautology.

Hmm.., the ultimate circle, the wheel of life. Mine has a flat tyre!

I am quite happy to concede that what I think or write is not true; But if one narrows down the context within which it is regarded to a point approaching meaninglessness then it's truth becomes self-evident. But that is the very definition of Wibberish. A term generated from the contraction of "Waffle" and "Gibberish". (I hope these words translate to your natural tongue.)

(I did post my first letter of 2009 yesterday. I'm not regretting it, but I know that with a few more weeks of thought it could have been better writ.)

Like I said, I think it was nicely put. You think you could've done better? I would have been more impressed. I like your Wibberish.

Just, you know, the idea of saving yourself worry by avoiding change ... Of course it saves some worry, but it also generates its very own worry. As someone with years and years of experience in avoiding change and risk, I am not sure I prefer the lack of risk. So why still do it? Sure, but how do you get rid of fear?

The things we do to ourselves!

*even more impressed

You are not allowed to say these things! I do not want any precedents to be set. The pressure will be on for the next thing I try to create to be equally if not more "impressive" and so the downward spiral of doubt and prevarication will accelerate! (Umm..? decelerate? Can one "accelerate" one's rate of getting slower?)

(Thanks anyway. :)

You're welcome.

I think I'd use "intensify".

[wibby]

Meet you in the middle. I'm going to compromise and use the word "intenserate."

Yes, I like that. "Intenserate" is going in The Wibblicon, my lexicon of Wibblisms and Wibberish. (To be published at some undetermined point in either the real(+1) or imaginary(+i) temporal quadrant known as the future)
