A New Chapter For New Idiocy

Welcome my friends, to the first in my new blog series.

I gave the warning to keep your eyes peeled for the return of “The Idiocy” some time ago.  And here it is in blog form.  Ok, this is bare bones stuff right now, and I admit I have no idea where this will take me.  It probably will not at all resemble the regular email postings I sent out in college circa 98-2000 . . .   whenever I gave them up due to being too busy to sleep eat and breathe let alone maintain my monotonous silliness inflicted over email to dozens and dozens of kind friends and family who were at times perhaps even amused, but probably mostly annoyed should I be really honest.

Some of you might remember those days, having been recipients of the original Idiocy of Amanda Jarvis.  You were subjected to terrible jokes, random trivia, and the latest rantings of the day.  In recent months it has been suggested a few times that I start a blog, by friends, my mother, even a therapist.  I mulled it over for a while and decided to try it.  It matters not if anyone reads it.  This will be good on a few levels.

So I ask that you take a journey with me.  Or just check in every so often if you’d like.  I can promise that with life as it is, it’s guaranteed to be an unexpected ride!   Previously the title was so claimed due to the randomness of some the content of the my postings, or the soap boxes in which I chose to rant.  But in this new chapter in my life I choose to keep the title, feeling the term “idiocy” is befitting for a humor I am often lacking due to one of my many “gifts” of my traumatic brain injury.

Idiocy (as defined by dictionary.com)

1. utterly senseless or foolish behavior; a stupid or foolish act, statement, etc.
2. Psychology . the state of being an idiot.
As I make steps in my life to “move on” that entails a straining mixture of both healing, baby steps getting my life back, and to embrace and accept what is now a part of my life and the things I can never change.  SO In an odd juxtaposition of levity and gravity over my situation I carry the torch of The Idiocy of Amanda Jarvis into this new phase in my life with a feeling of great promise and hope of sharing something . . .  and learning something . . .
Here’s to being one big open idiot.  Welcome to my “Idiocy”!

  1. From the Devil’s Dictionary (pronoun gender modified):

    IDIOT, n. A member of a large and powerful tribe whose influence in human affairs has always been dominant and controlling. The Idiot’s activity is not confined to any special field of thought or action, but “pervades and regulates the whole.” She has the last word in everything; her decision is unappealable. She sets the fashions and opinion of taste, dictates the limitations of speech and circumscribes conduct with a dead-line.
