User blog:Soosieloo/Oatmeal and Orangutans



It's funny what one contemplates in the early hours of the morning whilst getting ready for the day. Blurbs of data, blips of memories, burps of thought pass through the sleepy mind during the morning routines. Day after day, month after month, year after year we go through our rituals of awakenings with not much thought.

Coffee seems to short circuit the process, blasting away cobwebby remains of dreams and nightmares, giving the illusion of youth and energy. As one gets older you bow to the wisdom of the elders who give tips and advice on health and rejuevenation. That is why at 8 am I am looking at my grayish bowl of coagulated  cooked oats and eating it, though appetite is lacking like on most mornings.



Oatmeal, the gooey slime of health. Spruced up with bits of fruit, nuts or sweeteners. You spoon it into your mouth like a robot and turn to the internet for daily news and whatnot. Enter the Orangutans. Funny creatures, seems evolution has passed them by. Slow and mellow, easy prey for apex predators, too dependent on a narrow biome to adapt to our new frighteningly fast changing world.

Another spoonful of goo, it really doesnt taste that bad. Another news clip and image. Read the wiki activity. Another day. Another month. Another year. So life goes on. One posts in random blogs nonsense,  one tries new exercise routines, one hopes for the best and enjoys the small entertainments like the tiny world of TV perhaps.

enjoy your oatmeal all, may it be filled with chewy goodness and I hope your Orangutan world remains for a bit longer.
