This post is for Paul, who said he wanted me to blog more frequently.
He should have known better!!
Anyway, I seem to be stuck in a Muppet-related rut of late, and stumbled across this clip on YouTube.
It is oddly...moving. Touching, in a *very* strange, off-kilter way.
But cover your ears when Beaker hits those high notes....

Sometimes I just feel like Fozzie Bear....
I hold to the theory that everyone has an inner Muppet.
One Muppet that they identify with more strongly than any other.
I also believe that this is true of people and Loony Tunes characters.
This inner Muppet is the expression of all the things we can't show in our (supposedly) grown-up, day-to-day lives. They are the squishy, lovable, oddly-shaped fuzzballs of energy that lurk within us all.
My inner Muppet is, and always has been, Gonzo.
I love him from the tips of those odd blue-purple feathers on the top of his head to the soles of his Muppet-sized dress shoes. His signature hook-nose and wide goggle eyes just stir something in me. He stands up for his uniqueness and is proud of his oddities. I wish I could be that brave all the time.
And besides...how can you not love a fella who will eat a rubber tire to the accompaniment of "Flight of the Bumblebee"?
BUT.
Sometimes, just sometimes....I feel like Fozzie Bear. And lately, I feel exactly like Fozzie is in this clip.

Of course...with the work stress and all, I also feel a little bit like the Muppet News Anchor in his bit towards the end....Eeep!!

The Book Quiz...
I took one of those random "object x = your personality type" quizzes called "The Book Quiz." Apparently I am James Joyce's ULYSSES. Hmmmm....that feels about right.
