Touching The Puppet Head


I wanna talk about some stupid things. and some not so stupid things
These are the dumb things I gotta do, or to quote one of my favorite musical groups,
They Might Be Giants,
put your hand inside the puppet head.

As I go about my day touching the puppet head, going through the motions, I look forward to the moments which are uniquely mine. Sometimes they happen at breakneck speed, sometimes I have to coax them out of their shell. Usually they are there, right in front of me.

I am teaching one of my dogs sign language, because she is older, and I fear she has gone deaf, or at least gotten more selective in what she hears. She is a beagle, so we may never know the truth, as beagles pretty much do whatever they damn well please. Its not really sign language, more of a silly nonsensical gesture with my hands that means "time go out". and I look pretty silly doing it. all I really want is for her not to piss on the carpet. Pee smells.

I listen to the same band almost every day on my way to work. It is Rush, the best band in the universe. I don't listen to the same song, because that would be weird. I find their music influential and inspirational. I have followed them for my entire listening life, that is since being a teenager, when music means something different to every one. When I was in high school and college, I listened to a lot of music, I guess I still do, but it shaped me in ways I cant understand. there are songlines I travel, which take me to places only I know how to get to,

I have recently decided to take charge of my health, both physically and mentally. I don't drink nearly as much as I want to, I exercise more than I feel I should, and have given up all foods which are good and tasty. And I drink so much water, that I practically have to do it in the bathroom. Why, WHY!!, Ill tell you why, guilt, thats why. Its a powerful motivator, just ask any criminal. I feel guilty that I have had so much fun up until now, I had better start paying for it. Is that normal? I think it is. I have a coach, albeit I have never met her, except a phone conversation. She seems like a very nice person. She keeps tabs on me via a bracelet I wear, And an app I use on my phone. She texts me almost daily. She tells me what to eat, what to drink, and how to do it. I am not even married to her, and she may be a stalker.The silly part is, I asked for this. its kinda weird, I know, but so far she has been a great motivator, its almost better she hasn't met me face to face, she might rethink her decisions.

I do all these things because I feel it is right to. There is a reward to all of them, Health, Wealth and Happiness will ensue. I just gotta figure out when I want it to happen.

Do the dumb things I gotta do, touch the puppet head
