Ten best non-sex feelings ever

Shonari — Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:24:05 +0000

The feeling you first wake up but don’t have to get out of bed yet.
Getting goosebumps from music/movie.
When you’re congested as fuck and then suddenly your nostrils open up.
Winning a prize/contest
A description that’s way too accurate for this time of the morning and that “vacated bowels” feeling you get after.
Thinking the cop behind you with his lights on is going to pull you over but then he passes you and you’re fine
Crushing my enemies, seeing them drive before me, and hearing their lamentations of their women.
Eating a good meal
Getting my hair shampooed/cut at a salon/barber.
When you finally get rid of that thing stuck in your teeth.

No One Wants to Die

Shonari — Fri, 14 Oct 2011 14:29:08 +0000

No one wants to die, even people who want to go to Heaven don’t want to die to get there, and yet, death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because death is very likely the single best invention of life. It’s life’s change agent; it clears out the old to make way for the new. right now, the new is you. Right now, the new is you. But someday, not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it’s quite true. Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important have the courage to follow your own heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

This sentence has five words

Shonari — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:08:53 +0000

This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.

Obituary

Shonari — Sun, 04 Sep 2011 14:11:03 +0000

Dear friends,

It is with the saddest heart that I pass on the following. Please join

me in remembering a great icon.

The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and

complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly-greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities

turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry

Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and

Cap’n Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours as long- time

friend, Aunt Jemima, delivered the eulogy, describing Doughboy as a man

who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show

business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not

considered a very “smart” cookie, wasting much of his dough on

half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he — even

still, as a crusty old man — was considered a roll model for millions.

Toward the end, it was thought he would rise again, but alas, he was no

tart.

Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children, John Dough

and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by

his elderly father, Pop Tart.

The funeral was held at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.
