Tired and sick #club100

Have you heard of "goblin mode"? That's me. Full of malaise, laying around not getting done what needs to get done. It could be you too. Are you breaking things, sabotaging the universe, and/or accelerating destruction? Is it time to reassess your life choices?

Here is a still from the movie Bridget Jones's Diary, that kind of sums up what goblin mode is. I have always said, that in the movie of my life, Renee Zellweger should play me.

Why though? Why am I such a lazy goblin with no ambition? Wait, is it really a lack of ambition? Maybe it is simply the wrong ambition. Maybe the better question is why are so many people in goblin mode right now? The epidemic is real, and everyone is talking about it.

Is there a cure? Do we even want a cure? Perhaps it is better if we do not think to hard about it all. Maybe Oxford University Press has just been gaslighting us all along.

Or maybe it is a coping mechanism to keep our hearts and minds out of the apocalyptic soup that threatens to spill everywhere? Be careful, though. Too much goblin mode with too much self importance can take on an ugly life of it's own. No one wants that--except for maybe full blown goblins.

It seems to me, however, that there is more to goblin mode than just turning into a slovenly mess. We might want to ask ourselves why the most famous goblin moders are wreaking havoc with the universe. It is like they have some wild hair of self destruction. It is like they wake up in the morning, neglect to make their bed, grab some cold pizza for breakfast, and then call in sick to work. The rest of the day is spent in the service of evil--or something.

Is there even any hope? Perhaps we should all embrace our inner gnome and be gnomepilled? That does seem to be a far gentler way to live out the End of Days.
