Check out this technology--if you dare. As you look at this image, I am looking back at you, reading your facial expressions. The longer you look, the more expressions I can see and read.
Your first reaction was shock. Your second, confusion. Then, you made an effort to read the text, and facially expressed perplexity, as you wondered whether it was written in a language unfamiliar to you. Then the light of realization illuminated your features, when you realized that the text was merely English printed backwards.
Then, you made that squinty-eyed "what the...?" expression, and shook your head slightly, as if to say, "who is this nut-job, and why do I even bother looking at her insane blog?" Good question, Dear Reader. By the way, you look FABULOUS!
Then you started wondering if my eye really was seeing you, and a flash of paranoia briefly flitted across your mug. But then you snapped out of it, and resumed your usual "I'm cool," expression.
Now here's a question for you...why is "temporary insanity" limited to the domain of criminal defense? I mean, if it's a real phenomenon, why don't we hear about it more often? For example, why can't we call into work "temporarily insane?" I feel like doing that a lot, but I couldn't get away with it. Today, some stupid thing made me feel like screaming and screaming and screaming, but I knew that doing it wouldn't be socially acceptable, so I refrained from screaming, and worked a full shift, acting in a pleasant, professional manner.
I can see that you have experienced something similar. Even though you've scrolled down, I can still see you in my mind. Just the fact that you are still reading this, means that you are giving me a chance, and for that I am eternally grateful, Dear Reader. Sometimes you're the only thing standing between me and permanent insanity. Thank you for reading! May the FORCE be with you.
Your Ever-lovin' Eyeball Girl,
KRGB
PS: I love you.
PPS: When I showed this image recently on a huge screen in my art class, one of my students said, "If I opened a book and saw that, I would scream, throw the book, and then I would light it on fire."

Dear KRGB:
ReplyDeleteBeing one who has decided to embrace "permanent insanity" you should probably ignore everything I'm going to write.. starting with THIS sentence.. I first started to ponder "temporary insanity" after my failed attempt at calling out of work for having, "..That 'time' of the month.." issues. Anyway, the reason why you can't call out of work for Temporarily Insanity (TA) is because EVERY manager knows that the self-diagnosis for TA is something only a Genius can understand.. which pretty much negates your reason for calling out, in the first place...
Totally ignored, as you requested. Moo hoo haa haaa!
