<p>awkward</p>
<p>i&#8217;ll be okay, though, maybe three extra people will read it</p>
<p>in fact you would have been far more inspirationalised had you read that one again</p>
<p>in fact why are you still reading this one, can&#8217;t you see it&#8217;s about nothing in particular</p>
<p>it is not going to get better anytime soon, i&#8217;m almost sure, so stop reading and go and do something else</p>
<p>seriously, you just can&#8217;t help yourself can you? you just have to know how it ends &#8211; let me save you some time &#8211; it&#8217;s shtupidt, it doesn&#8217;t end, it&#8217;s just going to keep on going because now i&#8217;m assuming that if you have read this far you actually can&#8217;t help but carry on</p>
<p>so really a cruel and unpleasant unkind form of menipulationary mess-with-your-brain-and-shake-up-your-emotions kind of torture, really</p>
<p>okay it seems i was wrong earlier, that was a little bit better &#8211; i always get amped to string a whole lot of words together-using-dashes-in-between-even-when-sometimes-like-round-about-now-it-doesn&#8217;t-make-sense-so-i-should-probably-stop-but-i-probly-areyoustillreadingthis?-won&#8217;t-anytime-soon</p>
<p>is all</p>
<p>okay i guess since you made it this far i can at least reward you with a jack handey or two &#8211; pity the saps who made it so far and then finally believed it wasn&#8217;t going to get better and stopped just before this &#8211; the fools </p>
<p>[time]</p>
<p>[more time]</p>
<p>[not really a lot more time but me writing time related phrases in box brackets to give the feeling of time passing which it is but not quite so dramatically as the effect i am trying to create, or was before i started explaining it all]</p>
<p>[last bit of block bracketed time]</p>
<p>i guess you&#8217;re right &#8211; for continuing to read this like a blogged out sheep you don&#8217;t deserve jack handey which is my way of saying i can&#8217;t remember which file i stored it away in or i can but it&#8217;s at least four clicks away but what i can do is give you some of these incredibly funny metaphors which i didn&#8217;t make up except maybe the last one if i get inspired by the time i get there: enjoy</p>
<p>The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn&#8217;t.</p>
<p>She caught your eye like one of those pointy hook latches that used to dangle from screen doors and would fly up whenever you banged the door open again.</p>
<p>Her eyes were like two brown circles with big black dots in the center.</p>
<p>Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph. </p>
<p>The young fighter had a hungry look, the kind you get from not eating for a while. </p>
<p>and then mine: he finished off his tedious sheep-enducing anxiety-endorsing blog like someone who remembered he had to go and write a talk</p>
<p>actually that&#8217;s not so much funny as true, i gotta go, it&#8217;s been</p>
