On The Lake





Ahhh.... A day of peace and serenity! Well, not a day....a couple of hours or so...and that's better than none...... My, I sound euphoric..if I may say so myself..

There I was... paddling about....Just me and a lone white, puffy, wisp of a cloud, resting overhead. As I paddle...my mind wanders...I entertain all sorts of thoughts....for a while... I contemplate my solitude......ponder the futility of existence , and then move on to more pressing and critical matters...such as , "what the hell am I gonna cook for dinner"? and " I don't know why I bother cooking at all, no one fucking appreciates it anyway...

As I paddle around the bend, I happen across two kayakers.. Two men. Their white, flacid bellies hanging out, indecently, all over the place.

The one with a flag tied to the back of his boat..you know...like the kind of flags, we had as kids, on the back of our bikes, so that ongoing motorist could spot us, before they ran us over.

"Hey" he shouts....We're gonna hike the hill here...you wanna come?? What? Yeah...come join us.. he says as he tries to paddle over.................Can you spell DELIVERANCE?

Hell and No , I say while reaching for my handy-dandy pocket knife...that I keep for just such occasions. You just never know when your gonna have to fillet, an old flabby pervert or two.

Oh well...so much for my peace and serenity......but hey, nothing like giving someone the finger, and paddling your ass off, before they can jump into your boat.......

love your comments for today. AH, today must be the day to ponder the futility of existence!! To ruminate over ones past mistakes and to contemplate an "out" from daily misery..... One thinks that as the 40's approach or rather start to pass, life would become easier , more tolerable, oh, the foolishness of that thought. It is completely the opposite. The ridiculousness of it all comes crashing in. Thats not to say there aren't moments of serenity,(emphasis on moments)but these are so few and far between.....
