On a previous post I was saying that I had the same feeling about words, but didn't come up with a good example.
 
Well, here's one!
 
Function.
 
I keep hearing the "Funk" part.
 
I am in a "funkshun."
 
I am having trouble here in my new "home state" because I can't funkin' "function."
 
There is so much I want to do, need to do, want to do....but I have been having trouble trying to just get through day to day and just "funkshun."
 
Nothing is working yet, but I keep hoping that it will, if I work hard enough--at my plans, my dreams, my writing, my intentions to not die having never "functioned" where I lived out the rest of my days.
 
I'll keep working on it......in English.  
 
If that doesn't work, I'll work on learning it in Chinese, Dutch, or Pygmy...........but I ain't giving up yet.
 
One day I will be able to say I funkin' functioned and did something funkin' worthwhile.
 
If not, at least I tried.
 
Funk it!

    I like this post, wombie ♥.  It is honest (as I find you always are), funnily ironic, and your personality shines through - determined in life, using humour and love for words to keep you focused. :)

    This is what pulls me again, and again in SC, being able to read fellow bloggers thoughts and find myself understanding the same sentiments so well, and admiring how others could articulate what I could not, and find courage & inspiration  to be able to express myself in a later time on the same subject.

    Well it sounds like you are in quite a funk about it!  Hopefully you can get out of it and get traveling smoothly in your writing, work, life, and just any 'ol thing you want.  Lol, I loved the part where ya said that if you couldn't do it in English you'd just do it in some other language.  Great keep going attitude, even if you can't do it the conventional way, you're still gonna do it!  I love that determination!  Yeah, my word of today seems to be 'Holidays' ... or maybe that's just because I've read it/said it so many times today it's fizzling it's way through me.  Who knows, but I read it and it's like I suddenly get a little slow minded.  Hope today is a great one for you.

    PAPERBACKWRITER:   Thank you.  I really blushed at the kind words, but one of them stood out.  Yes, I am honest--usually!  (referring to the birthday lie on facebook I just wrote about)  I sometimes am surprised at myself, but I have been honest to a T on SC, and I never even meant to be at first.  I thought I could be anybody I wanted to be, but it didn't take long for me to just be myself here on SC, and glad of it.
     
    Hegemone:  Thank you. I spent most of today at work in a meditative  (vegetative) state, thinking about my book, and another one I wish I was working on!  I am determined, but whether it pays off or not remains to be seen.  I'm trying not to fall prey to that winter "funk" I get in every winter--staying home and not writing.  I want to really do it this year!
     
    Late as always, but hope you are also having a good day today!
     
    Queen:  That's odd, huh?  I guess there are lots of words that don't have exact meaning or translation into other languages.  It made me think of the comparisons between English and Native American languages.  But I hope we can both keep on functioning, without the funk!

I heard about Pandora Radio today, but I guess it's really nothing new. It's a website where you can type in your favorite song, artist, composer etc... and create a streaming station of similar songs.

Right out of the "pandora's box" so to ...
I pulled a good one yesterday here at home and just thought I'd share for a laugh.

I got home two hours early from working 12 hours shifts for a few days, so I crawled into bed and meditated myself into a deep sleep, planning on just a nap. ...

I just got a PM from a sweet lady here (MissMimi) and also 3 or 4 emails saying I had messages on the facebook wall----all wishing me a Happy Birthday.

Not that I don't appreciate it, but it's not my birthday!

What happened, yo...
Ok, so it's Friday night, and if you are here like I am, you might be dressed funny.

I have on lime green sweat pants, a green knit sweat top, socks and houseshoes with fur on them, and a blue jacket with pockets to hold my cigs for going in ...
