| Jacques Raczej-Podróbka : Conspiracy Series - Green 43 (1956) |
I am being held hostage by a conspiracy of events of dubious and minor significance. In themselves, none of them are worth a speck of dust in a junk shop, but together they form a debilitating blanket of sloth and indolence. From the outside, it may look as though I have given in, laid down my arms, and accepted my fate as a prisoner of war with equanimity; but be assured that deep within me beats a rebellious pulse that will soon rise again and smash asunder these shackles of lethargy. Soon, soon.
It's not called "retirement" is it? I believe retired people end up busier than the employed.
ReplyDeleteNah. I don't fancy that retirement lark.
DeleteHello Alan:
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the opening to a detective thriller......"who dunnit" we ask?
"I did, of course", replies Alan to the question Jane and Lance didn't ask.
DeleteWould "Get well soon" be appropriate? If not, tuck the message back and bring it out when you do need it. Jim
ReplyDeletePretty sharp reply!!Love it!
Deletesometimes one just has to wrap up in that blanket of sloth and indolence.
ReplyDeleteand i have to agree with the hattatts great opening line....there is a book wanting to follow!
I hear you! Only my problem isn't indolence and sloth, it's lack of time, what with the full-time job and the time taken to get there and back.
ReplyDeleteWelcome To My World!!! :)
ReplyDeleteSloth, indolence and lethargy? Hmmm. Sounds a bit like my life recently. Not such a bad thing really.
ReplyDeleteThis is an interesting painting. I'd never heard of Jacques Raczej-Podróbka previously. Did you do this Alan?
Me? Now can you imagine me doing anything like that!
DeleteSomeone told me that retirement is a journey, not a destination. Seems that you're travelling through colourful territory, Alan.
ReplyDelete'Sloth and indolence'? Is this what is depriving us of the pleasure of your wit and insightful observations? Shame :(
ReplyDeleteNow you've got me thinking about the piece of art that's photographed. Is all the stuff locked up and about the be released and be renewed??Just checkin'.
ReplyDeleteYour entry is even more enigmatic than the one I posted on "sculpturestudiodominica" months ago!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know the meaning of the word "enigmatic". What do you think of the work of Jacques Raczej-Podróbka?
DeleteI'm doing a workshop for painters and models this weekend...I suggest he enroles.
ReplyDeleteAt Sunnyside Sec. Mod. they taught us the English Laungage. Enigmatically it seems the same cannot be said for the smart Alecs that went to Crossley and Porter.
Enrols! He could teach the bloody class.
