Randomness is on the loose! I’m not sure where it went. It seems I have been wondering and wandering aimlessly. If you are new to this Wonderful World of Randomness…greetings! And if not…you have probably noticed that it has been quite a while since you’ve heard any of the thoughts swirling around in the place my mind resides, known as Wonderland. How ridiculous this is! How absurd! But! I have had little time and few inspirations. However, I realize that this is a poor excuse, and seeing as how I claim to be rich in words, I feel as if I have been robbing you of your joy and laughter. It’s like I’ve been searching for the lost city of Atlantis.
I put Randomness on a shelf when I should have been wracking my brain to come up with a story, or a poem, or a song, or a rap, or anything RANDOM! I lost my focus, my inspiration, my motivation to be RANDOM with words. I asked myself why. Not getting an answer, I further questioned myself, “Where is the wit, the pun, the rhyme, and the fun? Where is your heart, have you now come undone?”
This time I replied with a sad heavy sigh, “Words escaped me, and I let them go; Apathy and anguish I came to know. Careless as the wind, I put up no fight; Like a scared lonely creature, I ran off in the night. Lost in a world of no color or words; No sounds, no music, no singing of birds. I wandered aimlessly, lost and alone; All the while dreaming of the day I’d come home. But then all my wandering brought me back to my fate; Randomness is in view; I can see over the gate! My heart does a flip, oh, can this be true?! My eyes are filled with wonder anew! The roses are red, and the grass is SO green; The trees are in bloom, and the sun is shining. The clouds are large and puffy and white; And snowflakes are falling from the ever blue sky! The penguins are building a snowman so grand; And throwing snowballs at Matt Thiessen and the rest of the band. Some reindeer are making some reindeer snow angels; And Relient K is singing many lovely Christmas carols.”
This is the place where seasons collide. Ah, I’ve missed this place. More than I realized. Once I make it up the hill, I will be home, back where I belong. After greeting the penguins, the RK boys, and everyone else who resides in Wonderland (they are ALL currently here having a fantastic time being random), I will be reviewing the Randomness Rules archived in the basement of the Randomness Headquarters, (it has been awhile since I have read them) over a tall glass of Canton Joy orange juice. I will also be adding a clause to the Randomness Rules, describing what to do in case Randomness is ever on the loose again. Then I will go and do some random exercises to build up my randomness strength. And then I will be back in the randomness groove, and throwing out words like candy at a parade. (Bring a sack and a lawn chair.)
