Finding Inspiration
I went looking for inspiration the night before, hence the widget post. No, I didn’t make this layout, but it did strike a chord with me. And so I’m hoping to be inspired.
My sweety says I don’t write here enough anymore. I try though, I just feel lost when I see the big blank white box. This place is suppose to let me spill my thoughts out, but I find myself guarded or maybe its because I have too much on my mind that its hard to pick one thing to discuss. Of course, writing an entry that skips through different thought tangents is not unlike me.
I just really don’t know why I’m finding it tough to write.
But, I’ll try to be better. I have been posting at least once a week, so I should get a little credit for that, neh?
Yes, you should get credit for posting once a week, that’s more than me at the moment. I always find that if I have no inspiration to write but must write something, then a tale or two about past events is most inspirational, albeit still difficult to pick a subject. What I used to do with pen pals (yes I’m that old that I had pen pals and not email pals) was, after writing the letter, I’d P.S. it with the a sentence that my pen pals had to conjure up a story about, starting with my sentence and including all the extra words I wrote down. So try this one:
Waking up in a cactus bush with my ass full of needles and my head pounding like a howitzer was not…….
(include: sanctified, bananas and Steve Jobs)
Anyway, you don’t have to do it of course but you get the idea. It helps with creative writing.
Almost forgot, love the new look by the way, the colour choice is very nice, (yes, there is a ‘u’ in colour), the font is great and the flowery header and footer just wonderful.
Many Kudos to you (I think this is the correct usage).

I’ve been finding that it has been difficult to update as well. At least I have been keeping myself at least semi-creative with my new pet project.

Rick - I think I might be making some modifications to the comments. The text is like double the size of the other font
And hey, you didn’t date yourself to badly. I had pen pals has a kid growing up. We didn’t even have a computer in the home until I was like 11.
Darvin - My side projects haven’t even been keeping me occupied

Well i don’t think you write enough, maybe you don’t write enough to me. heres an example of a blog by joe.
Well i went to the “cafe” to eat last night and the food was terrible as usual. I mean you really cant expect to have delicious food when the steaks come packaged in cardboard boxes and the chicken Alfredo comes in large plastic bags, Yum Yum. Anyway i sat down an the TV was on and what do i see? That idiotic show called “punkd” its bad enough Im having crappy food that will later on be subsidized by a freeze dried meal but i have to watch idiot celebrities complain about their stupid “difficult” lives. I think the only thing stupider than that show is the stupid people that watch it. Here i am risking my life everyday so stupid people can watch a stupid show, wow. If i ever meet Austin kutcher ill kick his ass.
