2025-10-04 Shocktober
Unwilling and
(im)possibly unable / to tear himself away from the beauty of The Beaches up on
out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up in here, (y)our
man Cin the humble(d) narrator of (t)his Take This Thing Back to
Balti-memoires and Shocktober daily makes the decision not to make the
decision to head back / South – ‘an unflushed’, (y)our man the actor Charlie
Sheen called the current state of affairs in the world that five-lettered
wordle before during and after surviving no end / of ordeals, self-inflicted
and otherwise in the recent Netflix rockumentary of the same name, and a nice
if brutal descriptive line borrowed by (y)our man Cin before during and after
last week’s remote meeting at work that four-lettered word down South to mansplain
in advance his upcoming e-mail to (y)our (wo)managers a request to stay up here
in The Beaches for one more week until Thanksgiving because beautiful and
self-inflicted ordeals, ‘toilet’ - nice if brutal is all / we gots.
Course there are (a) few good reasons not /
to stay up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up in
here in The Beaches – taxing the patience of (y)our (wo)managers in the
Cubicombs at work that four-lettered word (that’s enough, -id.), who already
agreed to a month-long ‘working from home’ remote arrangement with (y)our man
Cin before during and after the month of August earlier this year, and years
previous to be fair and in (t)his defence because precedent ; the hour-long and
now week-long’s worth of meals that five-lettered wordle to come of dinner with
(y)our (wo)man and housemate the(ir) Ma Noslouc, fifteen minutes’ of worth of
which is spent by (y)our man Cin (m) / (bl) eating his How-Does-It-Feelings
(hooker please, -id.) as we do and the rest of the hour listening to the sound
effects – but to hell with it, he’s / staying, ‘to hell’ (y)our man the(ir) Da
Noslouc RIP said it better to us before during and after we bailed on eleven
o’clock Sunday Mass at St. Dominic’s in Luskvegas back in the 20th,
innit Itt, ‘ Cin’, (a) few good reasons is all / we gots.
‘It’s just you’, (y)our
man Cin said it better earlier just now to the month-long tenant in one of the rental
houses – nom de pretension By-The-Way because locate by / the way of the road
adjacent and once / a tearoom accessible by horse-drawn buggy as we do back in
the 19th and 20th (hooker please, oh wait, what?) -id.)
and because by the way the houses around up on out on up on out on up on out on
up on out on up on out on up in here all
used to have proper (?), and still / do because quaint and in the summer fetch –
and the tea-room-cum-rental where (y)our man Cin used to stay on summer trips
to The Beaches before during and after moving into the big house Broadgreen because
broad / green lawn get it with the(ir) M and P Noslouc, thereby freeing up /
By-the-Way as a rental house in the lucrative summer months, and apropos the vibe at nom-de-wireless-network
By-the-Way, which unlike Broadgreen as a dwelling has few trees and less lawn
to shield the house and its’ occupants from the ebbs and flows of the mighty
St. Lawrence River adjacent to both, not to mention from the comings and goings
of (y)our (wo)men the neighbors at Broadgreen, the houses located on the same
patch / of land and long / lawn because broad / green, get it, ‘and the wind
and the waves’, you and the wind and the waves is all / we gots.
Course the sunsets up
on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up on out on up in here make
no distinction in their exposure to the houses big or small, whether in August
or now Shocktober, though the sun’s setting takes place much further to the
left now and along the mighty Saint Lawrence River horizon later in the year
towards the unflushed toilet of the South (hooker please, -id.) and not to
mention setting hours / earlier now
because ‘it’s getting later’, (y)our man one of their Shiretown College Rugby
Club seniors – nom de guerre McConcrete – realized and to great / guffaws from
his teammates before during and after the(ir) 4 PM to 6 PM Rugby Club Fall
season training sessions on Club Midd’s Battell Field towards the end of the
season ended in the pitch / black as we do, ‘earlier’, innit McConvict , and so
it is tonight of (t)his Saturday after before during and after it becomes
Another Sadurday Night and I Ain’t Got Nobody, ‘every junkie’ (y)our man Neil
Young as always croaks it better in his dirge and eulogy surely to a
fellow-performer downed / by drugs The Needle and the Damage Done ‘is
like a setting / sun’, getting later / earlier is all / we gots.
Before during and after
making (t)his decision to request to stay up on out on up on out on up on out
on up here in The Beaches for another pre-Thanksgiving week of working /
remotely as we do – possibly fateful because the Cubicombs know no / end of
pettiness and (wo)management may well say enough / is enough and not without /
reason, and also because (y)our man Cin will have to make the same or similar
request within this very same month of Shocktober, namely a request for another
straycation, this one to attend a funeral in Florida for your beloved Lauren,
innit Johnny Mo, and to stretch it possibly into a two-week affair with one
week working remotely from The Sunshine State because ‘it takes a week’, (y)our
man Cin says it better to who(m)ever is listening and apropos taking
straycations in the unflushed toilet of the South (that’s enough, -id.), ‘to
get used to / the heat’ that four-lettered word - (y)our man Cin knows in advance that he will
be after playing the mother card as we do, ‘our mother’, (y)our pair of
military-serving brothers mansplained the same better to the Canadian Customs
and Border / CBSA guard in his cabin at the Washington State / Province of
Alberta frontier before during and after the COVID years, when sharing the same
car much less crossing an international or even Provincial border was frowned
upon severely, and in answer to the border patrol agent’s question as to how it
was exactly that (y)our men this pair of Canadian military member brothers had
decided that it would be a good / idea to get back into Canada from the
Province of British Columbia (don’t / aks) by way of travelling by car through
three U.S. States and two Canadian provinces, ‘told us to do it’, and before
during and after being waved / through the border crossing by the amused Border
Patrol agent because true story, a good / idea is all / we gots.
Course ‘all work and no
play’, (y)our man Jack Nicholson as John Torrence hulk-smashes it better ad
nauseum in Kubrick’s movie take on your The Shining, innit Mr.
King – though in the movie the name was changed to Jack Torrence, and one of
the disagreements leading cinfamously to no end / of your displeasure with the
film – ‘makes Jack a dull / boy’, and there will be a couple of afternoon
lighting nine-holed rounds of golf that four-lettered word to be played this
pre-Thanksgiving week coming up by (y)our man and humble(d) narrator Cin
because ‘golf’ (y)our (Irish)man Oscar Wilde quipped it better as always ‘ a
good walk / ruined’, all work and no play is all / we gots.
