About gimble

I've never understood why solitary confinement is considered a punishment. My favorite time of year is when vacation forces me to drive long hours on the overnight stretch, all other companions in the car asleep, my thoughts and the dark stretch of white-striped road all to myself. Having said that, I can happily keep busy inside my head, yet am distracted by so much of the larger world that I waste time putting those thoughts generated by those distractions down on cyber-paper. Maybe I want to see if anyone else feels likewise. Though not as bright, sharp or hard as a diamond, I am many faceted - esoteric in my literature, tending toward magic realism - pop-culture vulturish in my take on media - sentimental enough to cry at dog food commercials - and a lover of kitsch, like diners and other holes in the wall of life.

Existence

Accomplishment is
a relative term. You live,
breathe, think. That’s enough.

Trust

Like a cracked eggshell,
once broken it cannot be
redeemed nor reforged.

No reason to get up

The more I compute,
the lazier I get, and the
saggier the couch.

Time saving dinner ideas

If every meal
were cereal, we’d all have
more hours in the day.

Depression

Heavy blanket weighs
you down, yet cocoons you. Why
bother to crawl out?

Thanksgiving – turkey envy

Brine, barbecue, deep
fry, roast, smoke? How many ways
can you do one Tom?

Thanksgiving – all in the timing

I’m the kitchen air
traffic controller, and the
oven my runway.

Thanksgiving dilemma

If you clear out the
fridge for the turkey, then where’s
the other food go?

Thanksgiving procrastination

Canned pumpkin sold out.
Damned overachievers! I’m
a “last-minute” type.

Tim Burton

He made Johnny Depp
a household name, and keeps Hot
Topic in business.
