I'm thinking one duck gets pissed off and the other ducks are soccer hooligans.

I'm thinking one duck gets pissed off and the other ducks are soccer hooligans.
But, I could be wrong.
I guarantee I'm wrong.
But screw you, this is my post and I have had three or five Turbo-dogs so live with it.
This is the view from my small balcony at my town-home outside of Orlando.
It's from summer last year so it's not exactly real time.



That's a big ass lake.
That's Lake Shadow.
How cool is that?
I live on Lake Shadow.
That's almost sinister like.

I've lived in harmony with that lake now for two years plus.
I am here to say, that lake is the best reality TV I have ever seen.
One afternoon I watched a gull circle the lake two or three times.
I watched that gull dive to within three or four feet above the water and then glide even lower.
That fucker dipped a wing in the water, and carved a perfect circle in the glassy lake and then flew above to admire it.
It took about 15 seconds before the circle broke, the lake was so still.
I wasn't even high at the time.

And there are ducks.
Thousands of ducks.
They form several little "colonies" on different sides of the lake, and they slowly drift towards each other, like a duck UN conference.
Eventually, they join as one.
And they form a half of a football field sized gathering.

Sometimes they chill, and they just float around for hours, and sometimes they don't.
When my sliding door is open and all my windows, I've heard the sudden roar of who knows how many ducks, flapping and splashing until order is restored, and they start to drift peacefully again.

Why do they do that?
One minute it's all peace and harmony and the next?
Chaos.

I think there are "activists" that slime their way into the peaceful duck colonies.
Probably right wing ducks that are there screaming like those handjob disrupting the 2000 Florida recount.

WOW.
I am so happy that DU allows people to post while under the influence.

NEXT UP:

The frogs.
I live on Lake Shadow.
Home of thirty billion frogs.
Ever hear a frog symphony?

It's 40 degrees in Orlando tonight.
The Lake?
It's alive.

I will sleep well.

1. I do know the meaning of 'frog'
However many people use that without thinking why, it is usually a way to stop thought.

Lets say you are walking down the street, and someone mentions some spot, and you say 'frog' you don't have to think about what is said or why. It becomes 'frog' in your view, not thought on concepts.

I found most people that teach what they want to believe, use the frog self thought blockers often. It is easier then thinking and feeling about things, and thinking or feeling that you could be wrong on something is very scary to some people.

2. Dude, I'm talking about real life frogs. It's not a metaphor or a concept.
All of 'em singing a song at the same time.
As a jazz fan I would say it's almost rhythmic.

If I suddenly had beer and travel money due, I'd travel with you.

3. You might not have been talking about the metaphor, but it is in there.
When I get the beer and travel money that is due, I will be traveling, a few places I plan on visiting.
