Slack Slacker, Languishing in the Lame Lane

 


Slack Slacker, Languishing in the Lame Lane.


Although it's Sunday morning, with a sunny day, albeit somewhat overcast, I did not awaken with my usual "chipperness", ready and eager to swing my racket at the local court. Willingness to take a long walk was not even a consideration, because my mood for some reason is out of sync.


Oddly, I am at a deficit for energy and positive vibes that generally provide me with a cool spirit to start my day. I can only reason that I allowed myself to be overloaded by the negative news that has been broadcast on every media outlet and platform, from legacy to social media, yesterday, and it took a toll I wasn’t prepared to pay. So beware, this can happen to you, too, for no one is immune to overstimulation by external influences thriving off your attention.  

My advice to those willing to heed this warning is “Don’t feed that beast”.


So, to recover some semblance of spiritual balance that has always provided me with an attitude of I don't give a shit, I'm going to take a break today to recover from this dismal attitude that's preventing me from being me.


Bottom line: a word to the wise from a bona fide wise ass, it's a good idea to reduce consumption of external stimulus when the messages are consistently contrary to positive thinking. For the time being, the only thing I'm going to do for the foreseeable future is to give this some thought before I re-engage the real world. Until then, I bid you a fond ado and hope all is well with you and yours.  Adios**** ****!


Yours truly, Lee Bines (aka) Slack Slacker! 😎


BTW, yours truly is not going to drown himself in self-pity and Taqulia today. I’ve got a date with a few AI bots and agents to build a project that’ll help me escape the clutches of platforms with unrealistic terms and conditions. Yeah, I may have always been a Slacker, but never a Sucker. I’ll keep you updated on the progress later this week.
