Thoughts 'n' Time

By Aaron S. Birk

street talk The winter rains are sure to drag some hearts into the abyss of boredom and depression. In these moments, abnormal thoughts rise out of the soup of consciousness like phantoms. They feed upon the will to do anything or go anywhere. As the rainy months go by and worries spring up, take comfort in the arms of these honest souls-or run away to Mexico and never look at a black rain cloud again. Except, of course, in rainy season.

What do you do when you''re bored? Jigsaw puzzles-but more often I think about where I can get a beer.

Do you worry about anything when you''re bored? Happiness. I worry about the happiness of others.

Where do you dream of taking off to? Germany, the mountains. I''ve never been there, but it''s a very strong feeling.

Do you think people worry too much? You know, I worry about that a lot.

What should people do when they get tired and worn out? Get up, get outside, and get off of yourself. Do something ridiculous.

If you could get away, where would you go? Somewhere new and different. I''m looking at China right now.

What do you think about when you''re bored? Sometimes I think about sex. Other times I think about car accidents.

Do you worry about anything? People picking up trash without rubber gloves!

If you could run away, where would you go? The Guinness Brewery.
