Hmmmm, that sure is the question at the top of my mind. I feel so unmotivated to do anything. No pep, no zip, nada. I could sit here in the chair and sleep away the rest of the world. But since I cannot do that, I will have to do something else. Here is a joke so you can have a laugh today.
After having been served in a Las Vegas cocktaill lounge, a real southern gentleman beckoned the waitress back and said quietly, "Miss, y'all sure are as luvly, luvly lady ... can I persuade you to give me a piece of ice?"
"Lord, that is the most direct proposition I've ever had!" gasped the girl. Then she looked around the room, smiled and added, "Sure, why not!? You're nice lookin' too and it's pretty slow here right now, so why don't we just slip away up to my room?"
When the pair returned half an hour later, the man sat down at the same table and the waitress asked, "Will there be anything else sir?"
"Why yes, " replied the Southern gentleman. "Ah sure 'preciate what y'all just did for me; it was real sweet and right neighborly, but where I come from in Ten'see, we lack our bourbon real cold, so ah still need to trouble y'all for a piece uh ass for mah drink."
Okay, so now you have had your funny bone touched, I have one thing more for you. I cameacross this poem the other day, and for some reason, it really stands out ot me. I have been reading it and starting to understand it. Either way, I feel a bit motivated after reading it, so I am sharing with you. Prepare for mental awakenings!!
Invictus
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
- William Ernest Henley 1849-1903
