Chamblee54

There is a bit of digital wisdom floating through the innertubes, 21 Tips to Keep Your Shit Together When You’re Depressed. Some of the ideas are good, and some are not. This focus of this post is going to be the title. It is not what you say, but how you say it.
An effort is made to keep Chamblee54 as a low profanity blog. Sometimes it is necessary to say wirty dirds, and excessive euphemizing is just as annoying as gratuitous cussing. Still, the idea of communications should be to tell a story, and not distract your audience with bad language. You are usually more effective using fewer cusswords.
Which brings us to the S word. Feces is a nasty by product of existence, created by all living beings. It stinks, both literally and figuratively. It contradicts the proverb about profanity being like perfume… a tasteful drop can liven things up. Too much and you send others running away, gasping for air.
The idea of having your act together is a valid one. The word life can be used here just as well. Why one would want to keep a stinking waste product together is a mystery. Regular elimination of feces is important to having a healthy body. Keeping this nasty matter together simply does not make sense.
