New Book of Doodles

I have been writing/doodling profusely these days and filled up a notebook in 4 months. I guess that’s actually not impressive. Here begins a blank book to fill with mushitudes and mushy blues. And mush brains and half heads, you know more of the same…

Mush Brain as we soon enter 2024

But it’s coincidental that the new book happens to fall near the new year. Lots of potential and opportunities. Keep the half head up slightly (obviously not too high or else it wouldn’t be half!) And look forward to what lies ahead. Okay it’s too soon to be starting to talk like it’s January so let’s keep it together! Let’s let the ending begin it’s end okay? I feel like there is a song in my brain about this, where is it? I’ll find it. Oh there’s a million about endings. I want to compose them all together somehow in a crazy mash up of blessed endings.

Best Half Head

Best Half Head

Ugh…

I don’t feel like the best half head today, wish I could hide a little more than just my mouth, how about my whole entire face? Shame face.

Does anyone else start feeling like everyone hates you, or is talking behind your back like you’re a wretched person? Must just be my brain then…

Maybe I just need a mug that says Best Half Head and then I’ll be ready to go!

No, that won’t do either. You’re trash half head, just trash.

Ugh

Half Head Holding Caffeinated Sustenance

Half Head Holding Caffeinated Sustenance

Slowly but surely I will rise, be able to speak but as it is I am a half head and lack the voice. The voice it isn’t there, must, need to find it authentically!

Coffee do your thang. A jittered jumble of jabbered words perhaps, well it’s a start. Finding authentic voice through mumbled mush. Morsh.

Goodnight.

Half Heads, Now the Other Half?

I am referring to this doodle

Mushy Half Head

I’ve been doodling a lot of half heads lately. The theme after brains? Half heads! and now…the other half. You won’t see much of the other half but here’s one. Here’s to Half Heads and feeling like half a person or hiding half yourself. Yeah, that’s more like it.

The other Mushy Half Hiding

Hiding Mush Brain

I don’t know how much hiding this brain is actually doing since it clearly looks like a brain (half of a head too) laid flat on the ground, exposed to all! Oh my, exposed. For all to see, its flaws, its squiggly-ness.

Hiding in some grass? You can’t hide any longer, dear brain, you must embrace your flaws and your squiggly-ness because everyone is here and doesn’t seem to mind your brain at all. So come on out of hiding and be your big mushy self!

It’s okay to feel shame, to make mistakes. It’s okay that you’re not like all the others, smart and predictable. Like a heartless robot. No, that’s not you. You forget things, and say things wrong but don’t mean to. Maybe you are just going so fast, so excited to say something it comes out all bibbity, boppity. It gets a little scrambled. That’s okay, we like mush brain. We really do.

Oh, but since you’re out there exposed in some grass, watch out for the zombies. I mean it is Halloween time. On second thought, find a better hiding spot. Hide anyway, you don’t want to get eaten by zombies. I’m sorry I said all those positive reinforcements, now I feel I have gotten you so exposed that zombies are surely going to find you and eat your delicious, beautiful squiggly brain. GET OUT OF THE GRASS FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, they’re going to eat you!!

Pumpkiny Brains

To continue my theme of brains this month, here’s some pumpkiny brains hiding inside pumpkins. For what reason? I don’t know. I guess because it’s Autumn and you’re being hit with a slew of pumpkins continuously until you buy one. So I apologize for bombarding your reading with more pumpkins! But what is October without pumpkins? And in other parts of the world I wonder if you get bombarded with pumpkins in your media and culture? What are your traditions?

The only pumpkin worthy of any recognition at all this year or any year is the Great Pumpkin, everybody knows this. At least I hope you do. He comes once a year and if he has a brain hidden inside him well, maybe it looks something like this. And maybe it’s not squiggly but if it is, maybe it’s Great.

Squishy Squiggle Brain

Squishy Squiggle Brain

Everyone’s brain is squishy. But is yours squiggly? Squiggly and squishy? I believe mine is. But I can’t really tell lest I open it up, take a peek inside and touch around and see. I think you just have to have an intuition about these things. And squiggly is just another word for silly or floppy right? And floppy with words and mannerisms in every social setting. Maybe even a little dumb when you’re trying to be normal and converse. If this resonates with you then you might have a squiggly brain.

I’ve spent the greater part of the day going over the conversations and the lack of conversations I had this weekend at a social gathering. And I really just worried myself and kicked myself and cried a little.

Then felt guilt and shame and blamed myself for not being a good parent for this and that. And really just blowing it all out of proportion. I don’t even know why except maybe it’s my squiggly brain that’s at fault. Then I think this is probably why I don’t have any friends or close friends for that matter. I start to over analyze even what I’m going to say or act around them. I can’t be authentic. So no one can really get to know me. Because if they did then they would know that squiggly brains aren’t stupid, or awkward. They are some of the best brains around.

And so the theme for the week or for a while is (why! I have never even started themes for any of my blogs)

Is BRAINS.
