i believe i'm a magpie

      good afternoon campers.....fabulous terrific tuesday today!......i have been trying to get back to my streamlining....which in the world of someone who is distracted by most anything, is kinda like stream-wandering.......maybe stream-wading, which is so fun to do, just walk through a stream, checking out nature and what God's created....kind of like God's instagram....pretty groovy creations!!!....back to streamlining......it's kinda like the two trains...the local and the other one which i can't remember what it's called......i'm definitely the local......probably the scenic.....maybe a slow boat to china........it's like back when toys r us was still in business....this was probably  back in the 80's....i remember walking in to find a toy for our soon to be twins....and i was so distracted by everything.....i mean there were toys everywhere, up down all around.....and the colours.....wow.......pretty colours........shiny stuff......i believe i'm a magpie.......except without the stealing of stuff......and magpie....what a groovy name....well anything with pie in it is a pretty groovy name......moon pie, door pie, sky pie, dog pie, shoe pie, cow pie...ok maybe not that one...unless your'e a cow, mural pie, pie pie, etc......pie's looking like it's not spelled right at the moment.......
         so back to streamlining.....it's like herding cats over here........have you ever tried to herd cats by the way?......cats just sit there and look at you and probably say to each other ....."isn't it so much fun to watch humans try to get us to do something that is never going to happen unless we want to do whatever it is we want to do when we want to do it....they think we have no control over our actions, and as if we would even need their crazy attention, we are not dogs, as if we would even...laser light!!!!!"......yeah cats are just as bad as me at times.....
       or could it be procrastination?....hmmmm....of course wouldn't that be a good thing??!!....i mean it starts with a pro......that means you need to be good at it to be called a pro....i really haven't heard of any amateurcrastinators....that is a mouthful of a word, but used in a sentence...."seeing how the llama was waiting for the boat in the hot sun, the alpaca amateurcrastinated getting in line and still made it on time"....obviously the alpaca wasn't a pro at crastination or he would have missed the boat completely......like i'm missing the boat on streamlining, which means i'm  procrastinating, which means i'm not an amateur i'm a pro, which means i'm a professional at getting distracted, which means i should be getting paid more because of course professionals get paid more, which means i can go on more vacations, which means i can travel the world by boat, which means if i'm a pro at procrastinating....i will miss the boat......
      so procrastination is not the best thing to be a pro at...you'll miss the boat, the llamas, and the cowpies (which could be a good thing).............. probably better to be a professional cat herder.......be groovy........(yeah, God's having a field day with this one)
