Too Many Mutha'uckas

 


Too many Mutha'uckas 'uckin' with my shi-

Bret McKenzie and Jermaine Clement, otherwise known as the Flight of the Conchords, created this quintessential anthem in 2008, which resonates with us all. "Too Many Mutha'uckas" takes us through a day in the life of Bret and Jermaine, who are just trying to get by but there are way too many passer-by personalities that try to "uck with their shi-."

We've all been there. 

We are just rolling along on the carousel of life, moving things forward, getting stuff done, when all of a sudden, someone comes in and hits the emergency stop button on the ride.  All momentum is lost, time is wasted, and you can't pass Go until you pay your toll to those with other agendas. 

They could be jealousy-driven agendas, insecure agendas, imaginary agendas, or just plain stupid agendas (naive agendas are a totally different animal and certainly allowed). 

But in the end, it's just way too many Mutha'uckas 'uckin' with our shi- and there is nothing we can do about it but plug in another quarter and wait for the ride to start back up. 

The inevitability of life...way too many Mutha'uckas. 

Side note; a really good way to forget about Mutha'uckas is to schedule some much-needed business time.

Is Anyone Sitting Here?

Damnit. 

The call. 

The heart exploded. 

The head tried to repair. 


I’ve been here. 


The moving memory. 

The threats. 

Camelot saved. 

The forever loving bond. 

The collateral. 

Radio silence. 

Damnit. 

I’m here.
