Unplugging From Stressful Holidays-What A Great Revolutionary Idea!

"If you think the holidays are a bit much, do what I always do; relax and unplug. It’s the best solution without going mad," The MishegasMaster, Monday, November 13, 2006

Unplugging from the stressful holidays seems like a great idea, but nobody seems to want to do it, that is, nobody, but me…just imagine if I did it; I think I’d be onto something. If I myself and another person unplugged, we’d be a double dynamo!

With three, we’d be a set of triplicate tempests in tin teapots and with four, whoa! We’d be a quadruple bypass steamroller and with five, wow! Five! We’d roll along in a quintuple caravan and six, just imagine six people my friends, unplugging, raising a ruckus, but not yelling, screaming about how the holidays are so fucked up; can you imagine it?

We’d be six rebels who’ve decided to unplug from the holidays and everyone else would have to listen to our silence as we went about our busy lives with smiles and joyfulness within our hearts and souls and pretty soon thereafter we were noticed, they’d start to cover us in the local press; people would blog about us; people would criticize us and then we’d get filmed for the local evening news and it would only be a matter of time before our movement caught on nationally and every television and radio talk show would want us to appear on their program and ask us “how we did it” and what are secret to success is.”

In acappella & unison, we’d tell everybody the same thing; that there is no secret recipe or no miracle cure and their viewers & listeners would demand more and pretty soon we’d be offered exclusive book deals to write about our rags-to-riches success story of how our movement begin way back when we first unplugged.

The book of course would be a New York Times bestseller and movie producers would seek us out, wine us and dine us until we agreed to a multi-billion dollar movie deal based on silence and the movie would be shot quickly and released just as fast and would be number one at the box office for weeks on end and then at the Academy Awards the following spring, we’d sweep the awards ceremony with our “golden silence,” thanking our mothers and fathers in the process.

But oh, no! It wouldn’t stop there; it would cause an atmosphere disturbance, one for the better. All wars would stop; all fighting would cease to be; all violence, all anger, all hatred, all crimes against humanity would quit immediately; people would be work together all at once and be happy in their little affairs. There would be no need for lawyers and their frivolous lawsuits.

All negative influences would vanish into thin air. Cheaters, adulterers, liars and sinners would be subject to hearing babies cooing, birds twittering, field mice squeaking and horses neighing until they confessed their evil ways and promise they would never be so evil again.

Yes my friends, all it takes is one little idea, one little grassroots movement to get the concept rolling and soon, as you well know, the whole world would know about it! And this little idea grows in other directions, all positives, no negatives.

Unplugging---It’s the best damn idea since the beginning of time itself. You ought to try it sometime. Unplugging from stressful holidays! What a great revolutionary idea!
