Das Hier :46
If a picture, or a drawing in my case, is worth a thousand words, does that count as half for each if they are small drawings?
Because I have done 11 small drawings and I don't think that I should be thinking that that they are worth a thousand words each because it doesn't feel like I've drawn the equivalent of 11,000 words.
I'd say I've done the equivalent of 5000 words. And even that is probably being generous.
But even that, that's a lot of writing equivalent.
As for the writing itself, the writing is way behind the drawing and that is not a good thing since the mission for the words is of course, far greater than that of any other mission that you can think of.
Oh bother.
I should get this out of the way.
I'm not going to climb to the first good peak for a 3000 word day, your favourite team is not going to win a championship at the end of the season, that person you dream of is not dreaming of you and it's okay.
Now while all of that is true, let's talk about what might be true.
I will still write a heaping pile of words as I am still hopeful of reaching the camp at the base of our still unnamed mountain that we seek to reach the very top of before the year ends.
So I will not be unhappy at the end of my writing day whenever it comes, which will almost certainly be the final one.
Also, I will draw two more drawings and have 13 for the day.
As for your favourite team, they will make the playoffs, as you call them, or tournament as I prefer, and will win a game a or three but this is not their season, that season is yet to come.
And that person you're dreaming of, they almost certainly aren't dreaming of you because they are the kind of person that takes those matters in hand and if they had any thoughts of you as you do of them, they'd let you know.
Of course, they're almost certainly dating someone, which you probably know and wish it just wasn't true.
So go out and find someone else to dream about before you get to know them and find out if they are worth dreaming of.
And it's okay if that person is an alien, because aliens are peoples too.
I want to to bring us to the camp at the base of the mountain, but if I'm going to do that, it's not going to happen without finding the flow this quarter so that the final one isn't shouldering most of the load as it looks like it will now.
Speaking of now, now's a good time to look at the last drawing that I drew, a black and white one that has parts I like and parts that I don't.
The part that I like, while it could resonate more with me, it does point me in a direction that I can use.
Yet here I continue to sit, not using it.
What's up with that?
Is this going to be one of those lesser written days?
The short answer is clear.
And it is a resounding yes as I am dragging my alien fingers across your human built keyboard, not that your human built keyboard prevents me from writing fast when there is the flow be felt around me.
I'm just not feeling that flow. So maybe what I should do is bring the writing of this quarter to an end as it is easier to find the flow in my drawings, though drawings are a lesser path as I am not trying to draw an insane amount of drawings this decayear.
But if I was, what is an insane amount of drawings in a year anyway?
A thousand?
Who could possibly draw a thousand drawings in a year?
Outside of one of your comic book artists of course who must do that each year.
They are to be commended.
I would never be able to do what they do and not just because I am not good at drawing you humans, but also because I can not draw that many.
Yes, I realize that I did draw 11 drawings up until this point, but that doesn't mean that I can do that each day. I know that I can't.
But even if if I did, it would be entirely accidental and I don't believe in happy accidents.
Besides, being part of a million word collective is greater than being an artist who draws a thousand drawings is it not?
And I don;t have to bring the writing to an end, I just need to bring it to a pause.
The pause is over and I am not certain sure that what I drew is enough inspiration for me to write from.
Eating too, at the hours that I did was also a curious thing as it is near the hour of supper and I could have waited for then instead of doing what I did which was nothing but empty calories.
Curse your human bread and cookies.
If I was a conspiratorial alien, I would say that your food is going to turn me human.
But it won't of course!
Nos Glorieux are leading early in the game. In the 1st five minutes in fact, But one, two, three and four goals is not enough for them this season.
So there's no cause for joy beyond the moment in which they scored because they have both lost and beaten the team that they are playing this night.
And one win against a good team does not mean all is right with Nos Glorieux because it most surely is not as they need at least a ten game streak of glory to be five points out of the final spot.
That might be an exaggeration as they would hopefully be closer than that after such a streak but the likelihood of them winning even five in a row is not good.
Also, a thought that I had earlier, should I not write about them, which I am certain that I have had before.
Only it offers me something to write about which is good when I don't have a story that is begging me to write it.
Not that stories come to life and demand that I write them, which is probably for the best.
They won the first period with two scores by the same player and they are currently deep in the 2nd with that same two goal lead, though the other team is on the advantage and are only down by a pair.
So they have Nos Glorieux right where they want them don't they?
Especially if they score the next goal and would just have to score another to tie the game and take the lead because it is a Saturday night and Nos Glorieux have played some of their worst games on Saturday this season.
Oh bother.
No, this is about Nos Glorieux, not yet anyway.
It's about the prediction that I made earlier about not climbing to the first good peak and writing 3000 words today.
It's going to be a struggle to reach the camp at the base of the mountain as I have barely taken us past the halfway point to that camp.
At this rate, I won't do that before the second to last hour of the day and I still have to eat as the empty calories that I consumed some three hours ago have been done away with and I feel the need to eat again, which I was going to do, but it didn't seem then like I was going to need two hamburgers.
But now I do feel the need for not only two burgers, but fries as well.
If only I could be eating that late supper after having found the flow and written my way to first good peak in spite oif such a thing coming after a late charge.
How good would that be?
Not as good as Nos Glorieux qualifying for the tournament, but certainly good on a personal level.
Especially when tomorrow is my day off.
Oh my!
Nos Glorieux are are up 3-0 thankls to one of the newly returned from injury players.
Then again, a week ago Nos Glorieux were up on that night's opponent, though that opponent was a team that is enjoying a much better season than both of these teams, but it was 3-0 for Nos Glorieux and that was when they just fell away.
Nos Glorieux cannot let that terrible thing happen again tonight as they have to win!
Score the fourth please!
Sadly, the hopes of that player who scored the first two of earning himself a natural trick are dashed with score, but I am sure he's not unhappy.
Now all they have to do is end this period with a three score lead.
It had to be said didn't it? Stop saying things like that!
One of the broadcasters talked about Nos Glorieux having control of the game. Then followed that up saying it's going to be hard to score four in the third.
Are you rooting for whoever is playing them?
Why do you have to say things that your gods of sports can delight in and make what you shouldn't want to happen happen.
Oh bother.
Yes, more about the speed of my priogress to the camp at the base of the mountain we still have named. I have found some measure of flow and am still so far away from it that it really will take me to the second to last hour of the day to reach and that just does not sit well with me when I must still eat and have to worry about another 3rd period where Nos Glorieux could well play a brutal game and lose, or fall into a need to win it in time over.
Though surely the lead of three is enough yes?
Please Nos Glorieux, do not surrender this lead!
"Little Stick Bunny! I see you there, even though it is the little bird in the tree that has earned my ire, I know that you have not spoken well of me in the past. Yes, I know all and I am not amused by what you think of how I use my power." Doeduth said as he looked down at all beneath him, still forming out of the nothingness that he liked to reside in.
"But why me? I am a humble little Stick Rabbit that goes about my day and of no trouble to the godly ones like you." Jombi said as he shivered in the presence of Doeduth, never thinking that he would meet him, let alone be known for what he had said when he was a humble little stick rabbit. And who had ever been bothered by the words of a little stick rabbit?
Is this where it begins? A play that was in no way a penalty, but is called one because it was against Nos Glorieux, a week after there was not a single advantage called for them, even after an especially agregious tripping that was not called.
So far, so good. The unjust disadvantage did not result in a score and Nos Glorieux remain up by three with more than enough time left in the regularity for them to first make noise, then to send fear into our stressed hearts, before they tie the game and win it in the dying minutes.
Only that will not happen tonight will it?
Are you listening Nos Glorieux?
This is interesting. There is an emergency keeper playing against one of Nos Glorieux' most bitter rivals, though they haven't earned themselves a trophy in forever, they remain a team that Nos Glorieux want to succeed against.
And they are not doing well especially well this night when they are trailing badly when they have been playing against this emergency keeper for some part of the game.
Though yes, as it stands today, they are in a qualifying position for the tournament and Nos Glorieux are not.
Oh bother.
No, I am not going to write such a thing like that, even though there is 6 minutes to play and a goal every two minutes would be new way for Nos Glorieux to fail into time over this season.
And if that is what happens, they will surely lose the game.
But that is not going to happen now is it?
Not tonight!
Well, that was a moment that I did not expect. Though with this being a human built desktop of a particular age, I should expect it.
The legend who has surely set his sights on the legend of legends in the game scored his 700th earlier today and just like when he scored his 699th against Nos Glorieux, his team still lost.
Too bad so sad as you humans say yes?
The other team is going to need more than a goal every two minutes now to send the game into time over.
In fact, they are going to need three scores in the last 2:08 to send it into time over and I do not think that Nos Glorieux have fallen to that sad a point.
So yes, though there is 2:08 left to play, I am now confident that Nos Glorieux will in fact win this game and somewhat comfortably too, unless they give up a second score as a first is all but certain sure to be delivered on our goodly keeper who just earned the 48th out shut of his career.
That's also their second straight victory following their third period of wretchedness this long season which began last year as the good Petrie was doing the most remarkable thing of his unremarkable life.
I should not laugh at them, because they are still in a qualifying pposition for the tournament and my team is not, but this is deserving of a laughter, not upon their page on the bird site, but here with myself and the few who read me, I laugh.
Ha ha ha!
Oh please, you know that others will be far less kind than I And you deserve some measure of ridicule that you will receive, especially if you fall out of the qualifying spot because of this terrible loss.
And if you do fall and can't get back, then you will have to remember that you fell out because you could not win against Nos Glorieux in your first three games against them this season when they have thrice had wretched streaks of at least five games.
But for the moment, they are in that qualifying spot whereas Nos Glorieux are not and are far from doing that.
So my laughter is something that I could well keep to myself, only I didn't do that. I let the laughter loose and can't collect it back.
And two wins is too soon to be saying that they are on the way up while the laughed at are on the way down.
Just as I am not on my way to the first good peak of 3000 words as there's just not enough time to eat and write another 400 words.
Though i wish that there was.
Oh bother. it's more than that so it's an even higher climb that I have to make with time against me.
On the better side though, Nos Glorieux not only won their second straight game, winning this one in the regularity that has far too often eluded them, but they won it without giving up a single score.
And the laughed at team lost in a game where half of it was kept by an emergency keeper with ties to the team that he earned his win against.
It would be a perfect end to the night if I could somehow bring us to the first good peak with time enough to eat my supper of at least a burger and fries.
But I might just have to give that idea up for supper is of more import than the writing because we have not yet reached the point where it is essential that we first good peak it each day.
Any day where we collectively write the better part of 3000 words is a good day.
We will still need the great good days of course, but this is already a good day.
I will prove myself wrong!
This is a good thing, as the math tells me that this cannot be anything but a day where we climb to the first good peak as I am little more than 200 words short of the first good peak.
I will take a bow in five minutes. Give or take, even though I want to take it now, I have not yet done what I thought I couldn't do in the last quarter that I am just about to do in the final one.
I found my flow and here I am, on the cusp of victory.
Yes, it is good to be fast.
And alien of course, it is always good to be that, especially on a backwater world like the Earth.
It will take longer than that five minutes, finishing the climb, but unless there is a disruption to the electricity, I will do this.
And no I have not invoked the gods to rob me of the electricity that allows me to write.
But wisely, I saved my work so that I will not lose any of it, or very little of it if the electricity should in fact stop flowing because you know, humans.
Only now as I draw close to the first good peak, now I slow down to a crawl and this will not do as I must still eat my supper, for which I must get ready for.
So write on Sutheran, write on like your happiness depended on it, which it does. Or the immediate happiness at least because I am too close to the first good peak to not reach it when I have more than hour to write, if I needed to.
Now however, I don't need to. And this is where I stop.
I hope your day was as good as mine humans.
