"Busy, Busy"

"How are you?"
"Good, but busy.  How are you doin?"
"Yah busy, busy too.  Good, busy though."
"Oh good.  Me too.  Good busy."

Sounds like some kind of condition.  Like having the flu,  but a good kind of flu.  The kind of an illness that a person could be proud of.  Yah, I got the flu but I'm such a positive thinker that I'm gonna make it a good thing.

I sure was busy today.  From the moment I got up until I finally sat down to supper I was busy.  And it was a damn, good busy too.  I think I visited at least 7 building/hardware stores in the London/St Thomas area.  And you know what I accomplished........the square root of fuck all!!

I'm gonna try not to be so busy from now on.  Busy means nothing!  Along with sounding like a condition, busy also sounds like something that happens to you, as opposed to something you initiated.

I think maybe I'm just gonna try to be active.  Active sounds more like a decision.

Tomorrow I'm gonna actively do fuck all, rather than just busily doing fuck all!
