I need a vacation from my brain

I need a vacation from my brain. It keeps insisting on staying awake. My body wants to sleep–my mind wants to write.

Why can’t they just get along?

Where would I go if I could take a vacation from my brain? 6 Flags over Nowhere? Dizzy World? Universally Expensive Studio’s?

Is there such a place as Coma World?

I need a vacation from ridiculous ads. There’s this one news website I like to visit, but for some reason the ads I get are for male-only gaming, meet single Muslim women, and find the perfect Philippine wife. I’m the first to admit that I ain’t quite right, but c’mon! I’m a grandmother! I have as much interest in male-only gaming as those guys have in finding the right maxi-pad, and as much use for a Muslim wife as a dog has for a Kong ball stuffed with jalapeno peppers.

Coma World is sounding better and better.

I need a vacation from the Energizer bunny of oatmeal-raisin cookies I just had to have before going to bed that keeps using my stomach as a drum.

I need a vacation from Edgar Allen Poe brain. What would you call it if you woke up dreaming that you were being chased by the dog that wouldn’t die? And it was talking at you?

I need a vacation from the Fat White !!WAKE-UP !! dog and her 3am death breath. Is there such a thing as a Kong ball stuffed with breath mints?

Have you seen Guinness’s new wheelchair basketball ad? Pretty refreshing in light of the usual garbage you described.

Thanks for your comment. You’re probably right–everyone needs a vacation from my brain. I might consider taking a week off from blogging –after I write tomorrow’s tear jerker 🙂

I work with people who have disabilities and have felt no greater love, sincerity and loyalty than through people that most of society chooses to forget.

Each and every item I described in the blog entry was written to be laughed at. I was laughing at 3:30am when I wrote it.

  I think you read my comment wrong, I definitely wasn’t calling your blog garbage! I meant the ads you described for Serbian women and such.
  I really enjoy your blog so I definitely don’t think we need a vacation from your brain.

I could use a ‘Debra Special’ right now, myself! BTW, I just read Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Black Cat” last month”. I got to reading it because my cat Jenny is black. 🙂

Wonder what it would be like to spend a day inside Poe’s brain. Orphaned at a young age, he was a failure in other areas of life, but his writing career made up for all of his previous failures. I can’t believe I spelled his middle name wrong. In his state of mind, I wonder if he would have cared?
