For my resolutions are not the man.
But I'm trying to stick to them...
...
Anyway! I walked downstairs all prepared to post and.. BAM! I completely forgot what I was intending to say. Nice. Not even 5 posts in and I have bloggers block.. Eh. Oh well!
The thing is, I love to write. Adore it. One of my dear friends moved recently, and in preparation of that I bought a ton of stationary. Lots. I have other friends that I intend to write to.. I just wanted an excuse to buy it! So if I love to write, it shouldn't be a problem right?
Wrong. I get stuck. Or I think of something that I probably shouldn't post about yet. (Getting divorced.) Or things that I just plain don't want to write about. Why can I never remember the topics that are safe? Arg.
On that note. I lost the game. Oh? You don't know about the game? Here, let me (and wikipedia) help you!
There are three rules to The Game:
- Everyone in the world is playing The Game. (Sometimes narrowed to: "Everybody in the world who knows about The Game is playing The Game", or alternatively, "You are always playing The Game.")
- Whenever one thinks about The Game, one loses.
- Losses must be announced to at least one person (either by using a statement such as "I lost The Game" or by alternative means).
Some players allow a grace period of 30 seconds to half an hour after someone has lost, during which a player cannot lose The Game again, or is not obliged to announce a loss This is done in order to prevent a perpetual loss of the game. Under a literal interpretation, one has to announce every loss of the game. However, announcing the game amounts to thinking about it, which constitutes a loss and another announcement. Such a chain continues indefinitely. The common rules do not contain a win condition, nor do they define a point at which The Game ends. However, one reported variation states that The Game ends when the British Prime Minister announces "The Game is up" on television.
There. Now you are playing the game. And you have just lost it. :) The way I play, is with a 30 minute grace period. That is sufficient time to forget the game. The thing about the Prime Minister though? Didn't know that. It would be so awesome if that happened.
Awww! Don't worry about blogger's block or posting the wrong things - that's the beauty of a blog - its yours and you can talk about whatever you want too!
ReplyDeleteIt would figure that "The Game" would be something the British would come up with - it makes absolutely no sense!!!
Those Brits are interesting breed to be sure!
