Of suckiness and Robert Fulghum
Oct. 26th, 2006 03:54 pmMy journal's been a pretty damn gloomy place lately. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth. A few people have called in the past few days, and when they ask how I am, I respond, "Fine." And there's a confused silence at the other end. Gotta love the reflexive answer.
At any rate, I'm going to try to brighten things up around here. With a little Robert Fulghum.
Yeah, the Kindergarten guy. But he's written so much more since then.
He's got a website. The header on it says this:
This journal contains a wide variety of stuff -- complete stories, bits and pieces, commentary, and who-knows-what else. As is always the case these days, the material is protected by copyright. On the other hand, I publish it here to be shared. Feel free to pass it on. Just give me credit. Fair enough?
Behind cuts, I'm going to put his two most recent peices. Partly to brighten up the ol' journal. But also to share. 2006 seems to have been a hell of a year for most people I know. For myself, the only decent thing to come of it has been a wee person born to two of my closest friends. So read. Share if you'd like. Just give Mr. Fulghum credit. Fair enough?

Quite a way from holding hands when you cross the street, right?
Part of the reason I read Fulghum for inspiration is that he's not a peaches-and-cream kind of guy. He's been Depressed with a capital D. His life has sucked for extended periods of time. But it got better. He's like the friend in the story that Leo tells Josh at the end of Noel. He hops down into the hole with you and says, "I been down here before, and I know the way out."
Now if you'll excuse me, I think I need to go listen to Beethoven's Ninth.
