Go Absurd Number 9

What to do when surrounded by absurdity? Go Absurd!

Opening Absurdity

About to orgasm? Fear not, it won’t last…

The mango tree was ready for the inhabitants of every island in the world to juice themselves in the name of its glory by a fire in remote Canada beside a talking circus that emitted champagne and omitted to say anything. One woman wore blue shoes but they weren’t really blue. The man didn’t say that, he had a mango face instead

Quote of the Day

“How blessed with Absurdity are the artists who set fire to a beautiful work! Or the artists who could have made a beautiful work but deliberately made it ordinary! Or the great poets of Silence who, knowing they were capable of writing an absolutely perfect work, preferred to crown it with not ever writing it.” (Fernando Pessoa)


An Italian woman died earlier this year after receiving a nose job operation for her 21st birthday. Complications occurred during the operation to rebuild her nose and she was later declared brain dead. Her family and friends had purchased the procedure after the woman had commented that she was unhappy with the shape of her nose



Red Wine

Yet More Absurdity…

Hello Mrs Majello! How aren’t you? That’s bad. Oh say, what do you do for a living? You live? That’s nice. So, what don’t you do for a living? Die? That’s nice. I don’t check gutters for pigeons for a living. I don’t build houses naked for a living. I don’t jump up and down, take a shot of vodka, and manage senior administrators for a living…

Said No One, Probably Ever….

“Wait, I want to masticate under this tree while clapping my hands and saying important things to an international conference via Skype. I’m going to hit the conference running!”

From The Great Man Daniil Kharms

1.     One day Andrei Vasilyevich was walking down the street when he lost his wrist watch. He died soon after. His father, a hunchback who was getting on in years, sat around in a top hat all night clenching in his left hand a walking stick with a hook-like handle. His head was visited by various thoughts, including the following: Life is a smithy.

(From the book: Today I Wrote Nothing)

Go Absurd! Exercise:

Hop down an entire street changing legs when necessary. Make sure you have plenty of time and are not on a time schedule. Make sure it isn’t exceptionally hot and that you are not wearing thick business attire and are about to have a job interview. Unless, of course, you don’t believe in jobs or interviews and are just attending one to have a laugh. Carry on then, I say!

Remember

Absurd responsibly. The Buddhist no harm principle applies here. Do not harm yourself or others when going absurd. (Maybe what I have just written is absurd?)
