(Disclaimer: I have not gone even more batshit crazy than usual. I am playing along with the lovely Liz’s Labor Day Blog-Lib. You should too.)
I had six weeks, but I was looking for the real secret of life. An adventure was in order.
A couple of galaxies down and one nebula over, I entered The Discomfort Zone. I saw slam poetry’s Wonder Woman making a Chris Brogan list with Self Made Chick about 50 ways to learn to fly without wings.
Nearby the man with the golden thumb was taking life for a test drive and Havi and Naomi had just birthed a lovechild.
Meanwhile, some tranny legos were wandering aimlessly and asking, “Has anyone found the local sex shop?”
No one seemed to notice the group in a candlelit corner. Dressed in black, in cognito, the perverted onion held a rendezvous with Mr. Peanut and ten assholes from cartoons and comic strips. Rumor has it they were plotting to stop sucking and live a life of abundance.
The meeting of folks from zen habits broke into conflict with Remarkablogger over giving away the cow.
That seemed HUGE until the milk wasn’t free.
Ambush marketers couldn’t shut up about that Someday Syndrome. As a result, two thousand people decide to get an expresso high and debate the paradox of happiness, and we heard monkeys with megaphones for days after.
The possumist reported, “It’s simply that positive thinking just doesn’t work.”
My own perspective is you can tweak your way to success. You don’t have to hit rock bottom or hold out for sandcastle promises. There’s no skeleton key to success. It’s your life. Make it great. Your own way.

I’m laughing. I saw the flying link and I said, “Oh man, that’s gotta be me…”
Too funny.
Yeah dude. That’s you. The flying toy.
HILARIOUS! As a new reader, I didn’t know you were crazy. Guess I do now
Seriously, this doesn’t make you crazy. Just interesting with a lot of complex ideas and thoughts. Keep making it GREAT!
Phil Gerbyshak’s last blog post..Business Opportunity: Virtual Buzz Assistant
So, it’s Saturday night and I’m scanning through my reader when your title leaps out at me. Whaaatt? Ha! Than I saw “Amy” and was no longer shocked but clicked through prepared to be wowed. You did not disappoint! Totally hysterical. Crazy looks good on you. LOL!
Phil — Yes. I am. Folks actually come here from googling ‘batshit crazy ocd schizophrenic’ — so yeah. Um. Welcome. (I’ve considered renaming this blog “The Bat Cave” but thebatcave.com is taken.
So I try to throw in something writing-related once in a while so I can keep this name. Not today, but sometimes………… 
Karen — High compliments.
Off to take my pills now. LOL (I wish I had pills to turn off my brain sometimes. That would rock.)
LOL Amy - that was absolutely brilliant - you have a great imagination. Thank you for linking to my post.
Cath Lawson’s last blog post..The Power Of Blogging For Business Without A Business
Cath — It’s all Liz’s fault. (The meme; not the insanity. I haven’t known her long enough to hope she’d accept even partial blame for the latter.) You’ve gotta do the liz-lib so I can read yours.
Well done Amy! And it actually seems to make sense!
Alex Fayle | Someday Syndrome’s last blog post..Insecure People are Self-Absorbed and Egotistical
Amy,
Thanks for the love. Since I just did one—though yours is much more ambitious—aren’t link posts beastly?
Sheer, brutal ego confession—I’m reading along, enjoying the crazy story, then I see “giving away the cow.” I had a moment of total selfish disappointment that the link wasn’t mine, before the next sentence. Ooh, what a jerk I am sometimes.
Very nicely done—and the title—way to get folks to click through!
Off to check out some of the things you’ve been reading lately. You always introduce me to good stuff.
Regards,
Kelly
Kelly’s last blog post..Happy Small Business Friday: The Merriment Post
Oh my gosh you almost went straight into the spam filter until I saw your name and then I was like…what is that crazy sister up to NOW!!!!
You are sooo funny.
I went to Liz’s site. I may try this, but then, I have a Labor day party, so I may take the day off to hang with family too. SHOCKING I know…..
Wendi Kelly’s last blog post..Collecting Words of Wisdom
Alex — The sense-making was accidental, I assure you.
Kelly — YES! In fact, I was on twitter telling Liz how brilliant she is to come up with this, and then complaining that is was hard. Apparently I think too much…. *grumble grumble* I blamed the hardness on dyslexia, but it was more fun than hard, so fun won. OH, AND, funny thing — I actually did have your link in the first spot too, and then I thought “No, that wouldn’t be right. It would look like I was playing favorites.” And then I argued with myself for a while, saying, “But she IS one of my favorites, and no one will ever bother clicking on all those links anyway…” But in the end, I lost, and my more fair-playing alter-ego won. Sigh. I hate when that happens.
Wendi — Ironically enough, your comment ended up in the spam filter. Did you change your email address or something? WTF!? So anyway, yeah, you should still play along even if it isn’t over the weekend. Liz gave folks until Sept 6 to post their links back at her blog, but I think it would still be fun to see it even later. Enjoy your time with the fam. (I’m not SO shocked. Hehe.)
Ooh! Link love mad libs with post titles. I like this a lot! Thanks for including Wonder Woman and Writing Forward.
Melissa Donovan’s last blog post..September News & Announcements
The post title just killed me.
Ross’s last blog post..Slowly, but surely?
Thanks for the link love.
But what’s up with the flying sperm?
Friar’s last blog post..Travels with the Bear: Northern Ontario
Melissa — Any time. I like that post. Can you tell?
Ross — Hehe. Thanks?
Friar — There you are!! I was just asking Brett last night when you’re coming back. The internet is sad and dull without you.
The sperm picture was titled something about direction and discovery on the stock photo site I found it on. So it made me laugh and I put it up. This is what happens when I blog on lack of sleep. I entertain myself with inside jokes only I know the inside of. 
Glad you’re back!!!!!!!!
I’m finally able to comment here because the picture had me laughing for the last 18 hours or so… (memories of fertility clinics…)
Thanks for the pingback, of course, and a very entertaining post, my friend!
Brett Legree’s last blog post..viking fridays - raiding party.
Brett — Haha! Did the fertility clinics have cartoon sperm on the wall? Because I think that would be pretty funny…….. (Kiss the blondies for me.)
Oh, the stories I could tell (well, I’m telling them in my book…)
“Take this little cup, and go in this little room…”
Brett Legree’s last blog post..viking fridays - raiding party.
Brett — I can’t wait to read your book friend.
Amy,
The “push” is on right now… I’ve been talking about the @#$*%! thing long enough, I have to deliver on it as I figure a few folks want to see what it’s all about…
Brett Legree’s last blog post..viking fridays - raiding party.
Yes, and preferably before the blondies are old enough to write their own version of the tale.
Oh, that one I can guarantee… I think (they’re pretty smart)
My goal is by 2009 March 31 (Lode’s birthday, incidentally - no connection there, just something from Dave Navarro’s blog)
Brett Legree’s last blog post..viking fridays - raiding party.
That’s a good goal.
Please do comment and discuss.
We love a good conversation!
Please use a name when commenting. Does not have to be your real name or full name. But responding to folks calling themselves "Make Money Writing Online" and such kinda sucks. Calling yourself keywords will likely get you thrown into my spam filter.
