The Zen Of Mouse Pads
Rick London
Chances are you may think I'm a bit "out theree" but anyone who has studied eastern thought, understands there is a "zen" to everything. What affects us we affect and vice versa. There is energy in everything, including mousepads. The secret is to align what we use often with our consciousness. How's that for sounding so Dali Lama-ish?
If we spend a great deal of time in our vehicle, we are going to shop carefully for a reliable, safe, and hopefully attractive vehicle. We may use it for business or pleasure or whatever, but if we use it a lot, we want it to be reliable. So we pay a fortune to satisfy our "auto zen." A Chevrolet may be perfectly aligned with our zen qualities or maybe a VW or a Mercedes. Each individual is different.
We want our bodies, minds, and souls to be comfortable and exude the persona of whom we are. We buy the right car to do it.
Many people spend much time working on their computers? Well of course we buy a nicer computer, and often with a good many bells and whistles to make it work hard and fast for us. We have a lot to do on this computer and often spend a majority of our time typing away, hardly thinking of our keyboard or mouse, or most importantly, the lonely mouse pad.
So our dirty bent ouse pad in front of our thousand or even five thousand dollar computer sits there, trying its best to do its job. Why? Because we have not paid attention to our "mouse pad zen"! If you didn't think I had a few screws loose before, certainly now you do. And I don't blame you. But still, you deserve a better mouse pad if you are sitting at the computer more than an hour or two a day.
Maybe you bought one for a few dollars, or are still using the one that came with the computer (not much better if any better), you are not listening to what your body and reflexes want. It wants the computer do to the work, not your arms and muscles and whatever else happens "when mouse pads go bad," and they do, often, if they are not very expensive; and quality is often very low.
In addition, our mouse pad need not be so plain. Why not have one that represents you? If you are a doctor, find a medical-oriented one. There are plenty of them out there that are funny and medical-themed. The same is true for doctors, computer persons, veterinarians, psychologists, farmers and ranchers, and everyone else.
They are only a few dollars more, and well worth the price for several reasons. One is obeying their mouse pad zen, the mouse slides ever so easily over it, it is funny and keeps us in a good mood and positive while working, and we don't have to replace it all the time.
I keep several for myself. I loved the company so much, I bought it. My store appeals to those who want to get in touch with their mouse pad zen. And really, who doesn't?
Cartoonist/entrepreneur Rick London believes everything has its own zen, including mouse pads. He found that to be so important, he began manufacturing his own, and has his own e-store Just Funny Mousepads. (
