50/100 WORDS

Lazy, Lazy Monkey Brains

Thrifty Word Roundup 100: #30 and 50: #51 Procrastination

I can’t imagine anyone eating monkey brains, but I’m sure there is a place, where they do. And it reminds me of that scene from the movie, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

How about that appetizer? Even if we are not eating monkey brains, we still have monkeys on the brain. We are still throwing shit at each other every single day because we don’t like how they look, who they are, what they said or did, and we just keep throwing it out there especially on the web. And some of us even call it art. I thought they were lying about the zoo, where monkeys throw shit at everyone, and they weren’t kidding. And now, we’re doing it, and it’s everywhere. And people just love throwing it. Maybe, it’s not a terrible thing to procrastinate, curl up in bed, read a book or watch something on the Apple TV, and just leave the world outside for a little while. Let our brains cool off until we are ready to make our monkeys dance again.
