deliberate
Deliberate. Verb form. In my way of existing synonymous with lollygagging, procrastinating, hemming, hawing, dragging, lagging, and dallying with its fraternal twin dilly. I look it up and reassure myself that I am in fact putting careful consideration into where to park the sleeping car in the northernmost state at high altitude at the crest of autumn. Blue is a nice color but it doesn't look good on my lips, and experts advise against driving a car when you're dead.
Hem. Haw. Dilly. Dally. A six hour drive to a sleepy town just south of the Canadian border to skate on an outdoor rink surrounded by mountains and crisp, cold air, then wake up at dawn to shiver in the mist and tap on the glassy edges of the first freeze of a larch-encrusted lakeshore.
Am I obligated to do this simply because I dropped $210 on a new battery that is "guaranteed" to start the car in sub-zero temperatures?
Do I even like adventures? Nature? The great outdoors? Ice skating? Getting the fuck outta here to clear my head?
Wouldn't it be nicer to hide at home under the electric blanket for the next four days and pout about how my therapeutic progress has thrown me into a spiraling realization of just how much more shit I need to work on to get to that place of internal freedom?
Freedom.
Freedom is fluid. Affected by tides, moods, and the ebb and flow of contract gigs.
Freedom.
Fuck it.
Let's go.

Driving while dead, what's the worst that could happen?
Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose...
They say you should never trust a man in a blue trench coat, either.
Freedom's just another word for credit card debt.
Probably be safer to just never trust a man in blue, period.
I'll have to take your word on that, by the time I thought to try a get one nobody trusted me enough to give me a credit card.

I'm fine with that.
Lost your religion and hanging with black demons now?
Naw, that's just me. All alone. In the corner.
Consider this, consider this, the hint of hellternity, consider this seriously.........
Are you attempting to skate your way across the border and talking about your trial runs for it here?
Hey now, careful what you say about Blue now, it's right beside me, right now. Blue says, I don't want to be on your lips crowlady.
p.s. I love, love, love your photos. All that yellow gold crow contrasting. My fav is the last one. The feet. The anticipation in that gesture. Lovely.
Are Blue's pronouns it/its, then? I should have asked sooner but I'm genX, feel like I"m a little slow on these things.
Thanks! Know why there's so much feel in that photo? I caught it right as he flew up to land on my head. Trust and love shines differently through a wild face than a domestic face (though not any less brilliantly).
This world is new to Blue, so it doesn't understand things like pronouns, genZ,nevermind languages, so I'm translating for Blue, based on how I see this world, so I decided Blue was an it, but if you ask Blue what it is, which you can't because it only talks to me, it would give you an answer that's out of this world and if you don't have a particular ability coded in you so you can connect out of this world, then, well, I don't know what else to say that won't give it all away.
All of that is in that photo. Thank you for sharing that. So beautiful and I agree; it's very different.
I don't know if I have that particular ability coded in me, but I do keep all my abilities color-coded for reference and the blue one is for craning my neck really far to look up at the sky.
How many shades of blue are available to you to colour code like morse code but is more your code?
BURP-POP
(excuse me, stuffed my face too full of real maple syrup coconut popcorn until it popped out of my mouth)
Don't you go flaunting your Canadian colors at me. And damn your real east coast maple syrup coconut popcorn! I wanna burp-pop 'til I drop, too, you know.
maple syrup coconut trees exist?
I don't wear red and white with a maple leaf like a corporate thief. I'd have to puke on it to change the colours, oh wait, no, never mind, it's all the colours of the rainbow so how about we just forget the whole color conundrum, drum it out the door?
Of course I had to mention maple syrup 'cause I know sugar maple's not a tree in the west you see so no, no real maple syrup for you unless you get it on the black market, but be careful of that, Maple Syrup Mafia doesn't look kindly on those with a small side business sugar shack.
No, at least I don't think so, but maybe I might be wrong but probably not.
So that you can burp-pop until you drop, here's how you can make it:
Pop popcorn in extra virgin coconut oil. Dump into bowl. Using same pot, pour in maple syrup and extra virgin coconut oil, more syrup than oil, eyeball it to your tastes, heat that and mix it together, throw some sea salt in with it (or add after), then pour that yummyness all over your popcorn. Then burp-pop until you drop from decandent deliciousness richness.
Excess syrup is sent to the global strategic reserve of maple syrup for release during future shortages.
Thank fucking GOD. And Jesus. And all his apostles except that axe-wielder.
So what does this mean for Vermont Maple Syrup?
Your popcorn recipe sounds amazing. And a god recipe for pooping. (Trying to restrain myself from the gif, here.)
Seeing syrup twice in the same line meant I had to interrupt this comment flow to go make pancakes with REAL maple syrup all over them.
Oh my deliciousness, munch, munch, these pancakes are so delicious drowning in REAL maple syrup.
Is it okay if I'm an axewielder, or is it just that one that's an exception?
Never had it. Never looked into it. I know nothing Vermont. There is the thing though that a border is a line that you can't see, so it's another illusion.
And there you go, reaching for godpoop status, secretly snatching superpoop recipes to falsely ascend to godpoopery.
Oh my GOD.
😂 Gotcha. Score. Maple Surple Pours.
Maple Purrple Purrs.
I came within a whisker choke of my mug of stuff on seeing that 😂.
Want to know something really freak weird about that gif? I literally recognize the location 😂. I'm attempting recall and I can't confirm that I've ever been to any hockey game ever at any point this time around the not-merry-go-round. I have however unwillingly played hockey without hockey skates. Does that count?
It all counts in the eyes of Ganesh, our lord and saviour.
I like how you completely contradicted yourself in what you said in your other message, and I quote:
Everything whatever I like whatever works whenever I want it and I wanted Ganesh to light my menorah at that moment in time.
Happy Ganeshukkah.
You sound so lost. Are you lost in this 3D place?
I can only celebrate once I exit hell.
Just because you perceive me as lost based on your own life experiences and preferences doesn't mean that I am lost.
Seriously, though, I can't tell if you're yanking my chain (gotta buy me dinner first) or you're actually criticizing the way I move through life. Could just be PMS on my end.
I feel like I'm in some corporation's court of law for some strange reason. If I told you my life experience since early 2022 and most especially currently, you might perceive me as lost based on your own life experiences and preferences. Last statement for this court.....I don't concern myself with what state others are in, so if they are lost, I have no idea and even if I did, they'd still be responsible to find their own way out of being lost.
Nope, bantering for fun. Canadian Inc. humor/humour.
I, um, don't identify with that because I'm long gone from being available on the auction block in any dating market; as in not looking to buy dinners for favors/favours, nor give favors/favours for dinners bought regardless of jendur eyedee.
Nope. No time for or interest in treating anyone like that. If you knew what you don't know, you'd never even have thought that.
Ok coolbeans, just checking.
You did sound like you were on trial, though. Like you were on the.... defence/defense.
No, that's a LIE! I didn't think you sounded defens/cive, I just wanted to make another Canadian/American English merger.
And gotta buy me dinner first was just a joke. Promise I'm not hitting on you. I haven't hit on anyone in a thousand years.
Gotta buy him dinner, though.
Time travel recall of client court proceedings.
That explains literally everything.

On a serious note, did you click the link, have the aha haha moment? If you didn't, maybe that's possibly how you ended up here. Right. Here.
I clicked it, but, sadly, it wanted me to sit through one minute of ads and I just didn't want to do that.
Noted. No more links for you until you get an ad-blocker or a browser with one built in.
It's YouTube, you can't stop the ads from playing before the videos. That's how they make all that money that they don't share with their creators.
@freedom won't know you pinged'em all those times without an @.
Oh shit, you're right. Someone else caught me on that in my previous post, too. I guess I owe a shoutout to @freedom and @brilliant, now. Rocket's red glare and all that.
Go Team America.
