Re: Member, Me?
All Re-Clues'd, hemmed In, Out?: And probably, based on surveys of a "Ginormous!" number of folks throughout not only around our nations, but wherever the Super Bowl was beamed, streamed...feeling a bit stuffed, groggy, if you bothered to stay up past the amped up half-time show...and all the newest and greatest ads, the ratings of which are now coming in...the game within the game, the HUGE investment of the "sponsors" who bought, brought all this to us, and are in turn counting on you to now buy or, once again, be HUGE consumers of movies, series, following all the trailers, the increasingly effective pre-views that fall just short of being a spoiler and otherwise get us to watch even a drud-full (mash-up of dread/dud) program that gets dropped even prior to sweeps week...What a SUPER field day for studies in...
Consume-rism, ish: Given that "ism" and "ish" are both finding their way into our daily vocabulary, generally to modify, equivocate, a bit, on the primary or root meaning, intent, experience...which is probably, based again on a vast amount of date and analytics, what we will all engage in today, as being what is being characterized by economy spectators -- productiv-ish, after a HUGE amount of consumption and spending, which are two manifestations of the two-fold phenomenon that has come to be referred to by those in my area of pre-occupation, as the "Super Bowl" effect...
In Effect-ive: The fore-going two-fold examples of the almost opposite of what we intended, re-solved to do, about six weeks ago which, for a SUPER abundance of US, meant, "taking better self-care, watching what we...consume...(watch?)..." and for several others, "getting our financial house in order...being more productive, don't waste so much time and money based on what's trending on social..." THUD! DUD! DOUBLE UGH!
"So, Here I am": and "Here WE go again..." As in "yeah, yeah, yeah...I know" So, the answer to all this, collective experience, after "time-and-time again" -- whether you were prepping for the annual Super event that you yourself might have been a participant or otherwise as spec-Taters (lots and tots of cool recipes if U, in the un-likely event of left-overs...)...just the most gentle of re-minders that next time you might want to pay attention to ME...
"It's all about ME": About to reveal the Super reveal, the true identity of the shrouded mystery "memes" which have been here as long as our mothers have been there, reminding us ("Haven't I been telling you, from the start...") to: "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine..." and our fore-fathers along with their Great Uncle, Sam, have warned U.S. to "pay your taxes on time, or else..." a 2fer, two-fold re-minders about the annual Super events that, on the one hand, most of us looked forward to with "Great Expectations" and then, a few months after, find ourselves obligated, to attend to. Two cautionary messages that will minimize adding to your own bottom and maximizing your own, bottom line (remember the original question that set this whole game into motion?) Pretty anti-climactic, eh?? Which, for some of you, in harmony with Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" (when he read such tripe after waiting months for the Super decoder) will utter under your breath a reference about the special relationship between a male pup and his mother, and others a HUGE sigh, of relief, finally being done with this guessing game of mine...but, but wait...
"It's not over" Whereas the SUPER build-up for weeks before and the few hours capturing the game itself, the add-ition of the SUPER news of a new addition half-way through (a grand REVEAL on a world stage!!) might now be in our rear-view mirror, NOW we, around here, a SUPER number of us will be filling out brackets๐๐งบ in a few weeks and then finding out just what bracket we find ourselves in﹩๐, which will determine our "fair share"๐ก๐ข -- an annual inexorable transition from Super Sunday to March Madness only to arrive at April Sadness...followed in turn by the annual re-greening ๐๐ป๐ต๐๐ of America...
"Hey, don't kill the messenger(s)"! As in doing so, you could miss out on all the important messages, the "breaking news!" of the days to come...
"As for ME" Well, I vow to re-turn to what I set out to do, just a while back, which is to commit myself, once again on your behalf, a two-fold offense, defensive scheme of my own: to intermittently post here, and there (this being 501!!!) and the writing of three books, the first and fore-most being "In defense of Anxiety; anxiety in our defense" - a trailer of which can be found here, within a few daze...So, have a SUPER day, after, and...
"Welcome back" To the game of "LIFE" -- where you will continue to encounter a series of choices, chances, changes...a Siri-US re-routing with twists, turns...BTW, it's now all yours, as in...
"Your Turn"
