sleeping phosphors

sometimes i wonder what if i never had distractions? what if we never had distractions when we needed distracting?

something that happens without enough distractions is envy. a lot of people say that envy is green, but i think that green is earthy and wholesome, and that a better color for envy would be blue, because it means that there's no oxygen nearby.

i think that envy is probably where evil grows roots from. you know, if it were a tree.

an evil tree.

menacing, like in halloween decorations.

i don't know where good grows roots from. or what, i mean. i think there is definitely a word for it, but i am too tired to think. it's something that santa claus and grandmothers are the epitome of. and jesus. because even though i'm not religious, you have to admit that jesus was a standup guy.

sometimes the only way to distract yourself from envy is to remember that there are plenty of things that other people should be envious of you about. like if you're laid back and you don't complain too much, or if you're really good at playing the piano or making masks out of paper mache or if you make the best cheesecake ever.

or if there's no abilities that you have that other people would envy, then you could distract yourself from your own envy by learning how to play the piano or make cheesecakes or doing wheelies on your bicycle, or maybe just going to bed, because nobody feels envy about anything in the morning, ever, because they're more interested in just taking a shower and drinking a cup of coffee and watching the weather. envy only happens at night, so you can kind of shirk it, especially with a little bourbon and ginger ale.

anyway, my original point was going to be that if we never had distractions, then the world would be a wicked place full of wicked people, and that's that.

no one would ever take the time to kill time looking through telescopes at the blue moon, which is supposedly made out of green cheese. Which means that there's some mysterious yellow hiding somewhere in there.

speaking of, when's the last time you saw a very large and healthy dandelion?

i'm just wondering, because i can't remember the last time i even noticed a dandelion. it all gets taken for granted, or else it's truly disappeared. we should find out for sure.
