<description>Amelie is a graduate student who is writing her thesis, a creative project about the nature of music and its influence on the personal/social setting. When she&#039;s not getting thrills (or seasick) from surfing the waves of &quot;inspirado,&quot; she is getting seasick from the news media and its muses, which never stop amazing her with predictability. Sometimes, writing doesn&#039;t help this sickness, so she schedules regular dates with a punching bag. This helps for a while. </description>

<title>Abstorisms</title>
<description>&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Ignore:&lt;br /&gt;
All urges to make your daily experience &amp;ldquo;timeless&amp;rdquo; in some attempt to negate the mundane.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Welcome:&lt;br /&gt;
All metaphors, both stupid and far-fetched.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Always Be:&lt;br /&gt;
Cryptic whenever you feel it.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;See Also:&lt;br /&gt;
That summer, when time did that clich&amp;eacute; thing and &amp;ldquo;stopped&amp;rdquo; and there seemed to be no way to keep us from getting our wheelbarrows into that rut, you know, with the beer, the food, etc. That crappy &lt;st1:time minute=&quot;0&quot; hour=&quot;3&quot;&gt;3 a.m.&lt;/st1:time&gt; feeling, when you have 4 entire hours to be awake before the alarm goes off, before you find yourself on the boat at work: &lt;em style=&quot;&quot;&gt;Hey guys, sorry if I&amp;rsquo;m acting strange, but are we moving? I can&amp;rsquo;t seem to shake the feeling that we&amp;rsquo;re moving. Is it just me? &lt;/em&gt;Now it all makes sense. Every setting feels the same, at-work-in-the-bathroom-buying-groceries, happening all at the same time, because you&amp;rsquo;re still on the goddamned boat. It was the summer that never stopped floating out into the middle of the lake.&lt;em style=&quot;&quot;&gt; &lt;/em&gt;Shouldn&amp;rsquo;t we put an anchor down? It&amp;rsquo;s going to take a while to get back.&lt;font style=&quot;&quot;&gt;  &lt;/font&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Sometimes:&lt;br /&gt;
It is rewarding to speak in a wretched kind of dirty, abstract language. You never know, you could find that a cult is following you, even in your most giddy &lt;st1:time minute=&quot;0&quot; hour=&quot;4&quot;&gt;4 a.m.&lt;/st1:time&gt; moments. They&amp;rsquo;ll jot down the abstract aphorisms (abstorisms) that fall from your lips just as the valerian root starts to soften your tongue.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Unfortunately:&lt;br /&gt;
Sooner rather than later the cult will disperse. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Because:&lt;br /&gt;
It will begin to rain, they&amp;rsquo;ll get hungry, your wit will hath runneth out &amp;amp; over the bathtub &amp;ldquo;of their minds.&amp;rdquo; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;Oh well:&lt;br /&gt;
It was a good run. Amused yourself and others, so god bless American.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;  &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;Sponsored by EnterTo.com the first REAL &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail.enterto.com/signup.html&quot;&gt;spam free email&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Click Below to discover and share content from anywhere on the web&lt;br /&gt; &lt;script src=&quot;http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js&quot; type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;/script&gt;</description>
