Teleporting pink unicorns
Potholes, public transport, out-of-order
traffic lights, reckless drivers, traffic obstructions and the list goes on and
on and on. When you see these words it
should evoke feelings of outrage, disbelief and all round negativity (If you
reside in Ermelo of course and if you are an earthling).
I was driving in town recently, swerving
from one side of the road to the other in an ongoing attempt of dodging the
abundance of potholes (some so big that I fear if I fall in there I will either
1. have to wait for a search party to come looking for me or 2. face the
possibility of falling right through to the other side of the earth ball...)
reminding me of a 4 x 4 trail. I was
just at the point of losing my cool completely as my morning was one where all of
the above mentioned ‘hazards’ played a significant role in stripping me of my
‘pink fluffy unicorns, dancing on a rainbow’, happy mood. I have to swerve
again to dodge yet another one and swerved myself into a whole new dimension
apparently as I got to thinking, what if I was given the task of writing about
something horrendously negative using only ‘happy thought’, transforming the
entire story line. So, instead of losing
my mind completely (with smoke bellowing from my ears and the whole shebang,
like the funny looking little men in cartoons) I proceeded to ‘re-write’ this
ongoing squeal of a negative soapy and try fill it with positivity.
“What
if potholes are not potholes at all, but rather portholes to another
world? What if public transport is not
in fact public transport at all but rather a teleportation method?What if
faulty traffic lights are not faulty but rather just communication devices
which are experiencing jammedsignals, as other worlds try (in vain) to contact
us?
This answers a lot of questions
actually. Have you ever met someone and
wondered if they are even human at all? (Oh wait…….I’m sure you all think that
when you meet me!) Well to be honest,
no I am not human at all, I am super human! (I have reached this conclusion
judged by my own standards, so please, don’t get your knickers in a knot) I think maybe I ‘arrived’ here by means of a
teleportation device, through a porthole after the communication signal was
received…….. This is the only explanation I can think of which makes any sense
(in my world anyway). Why else would
teleportation devise’s, who misunderstand the communication signals, continuously
seem to have the urgency to get up close and personal with me by means of
swerving as close to me as they possibly can or horridly cut in front of me,
forcing me to slam on brakes and notice them?
Why else would I be surrounded by so many
portholes which seem to manifest themselves right in front of me all the time
and everywhere? Could it be that the
bubble blowing, pink fluffy unicorns from Rainbow world are missing their
Bohemian……? I can only imagine how bored they must be without me……
Alright, I’ll stop, what I am actually trying to say here is, instead of
allowing these very annoying, joy stealing, ‘in your face’ obstacles to ruin
your day, rather transform these frustrations into something bazar and
hilarious. This could help turn your
frown upside down. Make up your own story and the plus point is, you can re-write
it as many times as you need, it’s your story after all, just like your life…..
Well that’s it for today, dreaming up
these kind of candy floss thoughts render me hungry……. (For pink smarties)
Glitter greetings (and all things shiny)
