STUFF ABOUT STUFF

Stuff is happening. I hate it when stuff happens; it means I have to do stuff. I may lambast boredom at some available opportunities, but to be perfectly honest (hahahahahahahahahahaha etc.) I love it. Boredom is who I am, it's who I aspire to be. Without boredom, I'd be no better than an inexplicable stain on my glasses. Without boredom, I'd be frayed. When stuff rears its ugly head, I either do stuff or I don't do stuff; it's that simple. Less simple is the major mental battle in deciding whether to do the stuff or not. I'll stay awake at night worrying about whether do to stuff or not, and then spend all day tired and asleep. Stuff is pure evil; there is no other way to put it, except for stuff sucks.

I love stuff. It pulls me out of my everyday, bored, mire. I haven't done stuff in ages. It'd be nice to do stuff again. I'd do stuff with my friend Debbie, but she's bald and she's doing Dallas right now. There's nothing like sitting on a train, heading towards stuff, whether staring out of the window in nauseous anticipation, or trying to read and make eye contact with someone over to the right. It's even better if you need to change trains to get to do stuff: you get to sit on a platform with that famed 'I'm doing stuff' look that only a spot dug out by the root has. Of course there's lies to cope with when sitting at a station en route to stuff, but they're too obvious and mundane for me to list for you. I've got stuff to do; I can't waste time here with you.

But do I really want to do stuff? It means stopping what passes for my life temporarily to do stuff. Stuff sucks. Oh sure, I'll enjoy it when I get there, but I also enjoy being here. Stuff is the stuff that dreams are made of, but it still sucks. Stuff scares me; what else will drag me down so much, and yet bring me up so high a moment later? Would that I were a piece of driftwood who could just drift all day and not do stuff until burnt by some beachbum or family with a barbecue. Driftwood never has to do stuff, and I do. It's not fair. I'm gonna burn some driftwood to satiate my splinter-lust.

Oooh I could really go a barbecue right now. I'm fucking starving. Can you imagine the smoke oozing through my lungs? Touching those weird little bits whose name escapes me that haven't been touched since the last barbecue. Do barbecues count as stuff? Cos I could really go a barbecue right now. Just make a big fire somewhere and chuck on potatoes, meat of some sort, a fuckload of non-potatoey vegetables, and whatever else I've missed out, in all combinations of chopped-ness and mixosity. I wouldn't even have to eat it if that would quantify it as stuff, I could just cook it, and smell it, then throw it away in front of homeless people. But I'd need an answer soon: does barbecuing count as stuff?

I nearly thought I'd have to do stuff yesterday when my win386.swp file grew to 250mb. I dunno whether it was a virus or not, but it's stopped now after running a virus scanner. So that, I guess, is an example of when doing a little bit of stuff will stave of having to do a lot of stuff. Or to put it another way, I've got a stitch. Which still doesn't stop stuff from sucking, rearing its ugly head, being a wonderful thing to look forward to, or whatever other complimentary thing I said about stuff. If only I had a toin I could coss, or a greased, lithe Philipino youth. Oops. Did I really say that? Shit. Umm.. sorry folks, must dash off and question my sexuality.
