Reason #361: The Giant Sucking Sound

Posted at August 10, 2010

Stress sucks. I mean, literally, it sucks the life and creativity right out of you, doesn’t it? I have never felt so lacking in creativity, or in any real worthwhile value as a human, as I have lately. And it sucks to the point where I can hear it…ah…suck. Sucky, sacky, sooky, sucky, sucks! That’s what it does. If it sounds as if I may be a little “fed up” you’re really hitting on all your inert cylinders of perception today, because I am completely 100% fed to the tippy top tippy of my head up! Ok, now that I let all that out maybe I can make some useful meaning out of this post. What is it about anyway? Well how the hell should I know? I am too busy listening to my life being sucked out to the nether-most regions of nowhere while the rest of you just go about your merry way, oblivious to anything that is going on more than a foot outside your circumference of circumspection. I know what you’re thinking…that is, get a grip you Costa Rica Goober. Okay okay, back to my oblivious point. What is stress anyway? Isn’t it nothing more than letting the outside world infiltrate our inner peace and tranquility? Why do we do that? One word…the lizard brain. And right now that part of my brain is getting all the action. Why? Because I am worried, fearful, depressed, pissed-off, horny (all the time) and in general, well, fed up (I did already mention that one didn’t I?). So what can I do to silence that amazing sucking sound that is drowning out all other potentially positive stimuli around me? I am not sure, but I know screaming at the top of my lungs won’t do it (already tried that one). Jumping off a tall building, or bridge (hey there is that one called “puente de la vieja”) could do the trick, or it might just hurt really bad. I guess the answer lies in just sucking it up and moving beyond the suck..to continue with this awfully sucky metaphor. Now really life can’t be all that bad can it? Of course not! That is why there is a glint of humor in this post..wink, wink! Just four more posts to go to magic number 365!!
