Our ability to search the web for God knows what, is a mere lesson of sizable proportions, probably becoming more understandable when compared to something along the lines of Carl Sagan's "infinite possibilities."
Remembering a conversation years back when trying to understand the the depth of eBay auctions; "as I racked my brain, trying to figure out something that would not appear for sale, enema popped out ( forgive the pun) of the swirling boiling mush of a brain, that is thankfully locked tightly within my skull!" When dissecting that statement, a first thought might be, who cares? But, upon further consideration and curiosity, I typed "enemas." The rest is history!
Knowing I should let my weary bones rest, the evil child within my brain once again begins its temper tantrum of stupid thoughts. As I sit in the darkness of my living room, snuggled deeply within the favorite corner of my couch, the struggle of thoughts surfacing and the powering down of the body, begin their mighty battle.
Typing "dictionary" into search, a multitude of choices appear before me. Having used this before, my immediate choice is MERRIAM-WEBSTER online. I had thought about bookmarking this site, but then questioning myself;
"How will I know if any newer sights have been added?" I left it as status quo.
"Writer's Block" now literally staring at me, I hit the search tab: "a psychological inhibition preventing a writer from proceeding with a piece." I think it should say ,PEACE, I'd like to be able to sleep. M-dubya*as she prefers to be called, is loaded with great trivia for the evil child gnawing at my brain.
Other phrases that rhyme with WRITER'S BLOCK were numerous, some silly and some I had no idea. Searching for "alpenstock ," just because it rhymed and M-dubya*suggested I do so, I learned: "long iron-pointed staff used in mountain climbing." Perhaps one day I will have the opportunity to give the alpenstock a try. As for now, the evil one has learned something new, although trivial. It should suffice, but taking sinus medication as a chaser, should do the trick.
*M-dubya: my friend MERRIAM-WEBSTER!
