Trying too Hard

~ Gottfried

Trying is the first step toward failure. If you think nobody cares if you’re alive, try missing a couple of monthly payments. If two wrongs don’t make a right, try three. You know what they say? “third times the charm.” If you never want to forget your wife’s birthday, try forgetting it once.

I try to be a nice person sometimes but my mouth doesn’t cooperate. It’s worse when I’ve been at it all day and just before evening I let one rip and ruin the whole momentum. Should have kept the headphones on. It’s not easy being me, but it’s fun watching you try. Just do what the duck says.

Do or do not. There is no try. “Will you call me when you get home?” “I’ll try”. What do you mean by that? Here’s a conversation hack for you; don’t try to give a funny opinion. Rather, give your opinion in a way that will be funny. I try not to laugh at my own jokes but we all know I’m hilarious.

They said “don’t try this at home” so I’m coming over to your house to try it. While you expect me, call an ambulance? When you try your best and fail miserably, always remember the lesson to be learned. Never try your best. I tried to be normal once. It was the worst two minutes of my life.

The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer someone else up. You can then live vicariously through their own happiness. I’ve just discovered that my laugh makes people’s laugh to laugh. I’ve been trying to elevate small talk to medium talk with this lady. She’s not even trying.

Trying to be happy by accumulating possessions is like trying to satisfy hunger by taping sandwiches all over your body. I almost succeeded but I couldn’t get rid of the ants. Punched myself in the face while trying to pull up my blanket the other day. I now sleep on the floor. These days, I’m trying to think how I can think

of what I want to think.

      1. “Wake up and stop pretending yes?”

        SMiLes Dear Mr Gottfried

        i Could Pretend to Tell The Truth

        And Suggest That Humans Aren’t

        Natural Liars Overall Yet Telling Stories is

        What Human Social Animals With Language

        As Tools For Approximating Their Realities Do

        Yet Is A ‘Tree’ Actually A Tree
        Is A ‘God’ Actually A God Well

        Of Course Metaphors All Words
        May Pretend to Be Set in Concrete
        Yet the Truth of the Lie of the Truth

        Is it All Depends on/WiTHiN Our Experiences
        oF Life And How We Interpret the Words the
        Metaphors That We Co-Create to At Best Mutually
        And Consensually Sharing Our Very Different Perceptions
        Feelings Senses of The Reality of Each And Every Multi-Verse

        of Humanity
        And Other Sentient
        Being’s Experiences of Life

        And Modern Science Also Now
        Has Theories That Consciousness
        That Elon Musk is Attempting to Trap
        On Other Planets We Will STiLL Never Be
        Innately Evolved to Live on is Inherent in All of Existence And

        That Might Be An Appropriate Definition of What ReaLiTY ReALLY iS (GoD)
        Awareness oF iT All in ‘Colors’ Far Beyond Human Understanding Alone Indeed

        Nether the Less When i Am a Small Child Like the ‘Logical Song’ Then And ‘Child
        of Vision’ By ‘Supertramp’ on the Album ‘Breakfast in America’ From British Views
        Expresses ‘They’ Gave me ‘Coca-Cola’ Cause They Said it Tasted Good And i Drank
        It All the ‘Tons’ of Sugar, Caffeine, And Carbonated Water By Six-Pack and More
        in the Hot Summers of the Florida Panhandle When Young ‘They’ Even Said It is

        (And Sat me in Front of A TV Is it Any Wonder i Could Barely Concentrate Then:

        No)

        “The Real Thing” They Had a Commercial With People ALL oVeR The World
        Every Nation Singing the Following
        Lyrics Selling Them For A God Dam

        Coke…

        “I’d like to buy the world a home
        And furnish it with love
        Grow apple trees and honey bees
        And snow white turtle doves

        (Chorus)
        I’d like to teach the world to sing
        In perfect harmony
        I’d like to buy the world a Coke
        And keep it company
        That’s the real thing

        (Chorus)

        (Chorus 2)
        What the world wants today
        Is the real thing

        What the world wants today
        Is the real thing”

        And Then They Did the Same
        God Dammed Thing With ‘God’

        (To Be Clear TradeMArked God)

        Thousands of Years Ago Human
        Stories For Sell All the Big Lies Why

        Pretend When It’s Everywhere Still All the Lies

        All the Lies Yet Still All the Living Trees And Bees…

        When i Want the Truth And To Experience Reality
        i Dance One With Gulf Breeze And Waves at the Beach Along
        With Sea Gulls Spiraling Around the Sun Yes Grounding Securely

        Floating in Sugar White Sands Deep in my Athletic Shoes Part of
        The Reason i Still Leg Press 699 Kilograms 12 Reps Just Warming
        Up at the Military Gym With Jaws Still dropping All Around me Hehe…

        (Like ‘Lords of the Flies’)

        Continuing to Try my Best to
        Upload Ocean Whole Soul on

        Page…

        Yet Still Really God No
        Only An Approximation
        A Lie For All Heaven Will NeW
        Be Naturally And ReaL NoW
        WiTHIN iNSiDE OuTSiDE YeS
        ABoVE So BeLoW All Around

        A Dance And Song Freeing God

        WiTHiN Just Breathing FREE ALL

        ‘ThE LiVinG ONE’…

        True THere is Only GoD Do or Do Not..:)
