Boredom Ninja

I’m soooooooo bored!

My parent used to tell me only boring people get bored. This slight truism gets stuck in my head whenever boredom strikes. Am I boring? Maybe, sometimes.

But in my defense there are times that nothing sounds good, I don’t have my book with me, nothing on Netflix looks good, I’m sick to death of Hulu, I have no interest in Pinterest (see what I did there?), even YouTube videos aren’t cutting it.

I have been struck by boredom.

 Silent, deadly, smothering boredom (apparently boredom is a ninja).

Books and Writing are my only defense against this sneaky slayer of excitement.

Since I don’t have my book with me, but I do have pen and paper, I shall defend myself with…WRITING PROMPTS!

TAKE THAT BOREDOM NINJA!

I Speak in Meme

I have not been blogging, I have not been tweeting, I have been utterly focused on editing my final draft. 

Finally it is complete and I can start doing other things.

Here are other things.

Meme’s are everywhere, just like glitter is the herpes of the art world, Meme’s are the herpes of the internet. And I can’t get enough of them, in fact I have found them creeping into my everyday speech. Even at work I find myself uttering them under my breath.

“Dammit, Moon Moon,” 

Meme’s come in every shape and size and are perfect for most any occasion.

Are you sold on them yet?

Obviously I am and here’s the thing, they’re here to stay.

They’re in our everyday language; it’s becoming a whole new form of slang. I talk with my nieces and nephews and they speak in meme’s and movie quotes. It’s the language of the new generation. So keep up or be left behind, know your Meme’s.

Don’t roll your eyes and get annoyed by the continual outbreak of this internet venereal disease, open your arms and embrace the weird, because the weird is here to stay.
