My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

| I've always had a liking for black licorice, although it seems many do not like it. I also enjoyed Blackjack chewing gum as a kid, but hadn't seen it around for many years. The last time I had Blackjack gum was quite a few years ago; my wife had found it while shopping and gotten me a couple f double packs because she knew I enjoyed it. This was probably eight or nine years ago. While looking though some stuff in my desk, I opened an old tin I had stuffed some things in during one of our moves. I was surprised to see a couple packs of Blackjack gum in it. One had been opened and had three sticks of gum left in it, the other still unopened. I took out a stick and opened it. The gum looked fine, but when I put it in my mouth and bit down, I discovered it had become hard and brittle; it shattered like glass in my mouth. Also, the taste was not that of black licorice (actually aniseed-flavored) but more like biting into cardboard. I spit it out and threw the remaining two sticks in the garbage, after bending them in their wrapper and feeling them also shatter like glass. I still have the unopened pack and am tempted to open it to see if it is perhaps still good. There are no best-by or use by dates on the package, and it's sealed in it's original pack. Will it be brittle? I don't know. Will it taste right? Again, I don't know. I will probably open it and flex one of the pieces of gum to see if it's pliable or brittle, and if it still bends like gum should, I may just pop it in my mouth to see if the taste is also still good. On the other hand, I suppose I could leave it out on a counter at the next family gathering. I know someone will pilfer it, and if it's like the piece I tried, I would enjoy watching the expression on their face when they pop it into their mouth. Decisions... |

and clicking "Manage Book." not quite the same, but it's better than seeing no "Likes" and no "Comments," unless maybe no one has even viewsed it.
