It’s 2:03a.m. in my cold Las Vegas room and dawn is a few hours off, but I can’t hold out any longer. I know, I know, my room probably isn’t the only place that’s cold in Las Vegas, but it’s where I am and I wanted to be semi-dramatic, so shut it.
I started this blog at the beginning of the year intent on filling it in with some pre-2009 storytelling, but 700 words into my first blog I realized that it would be a boring piece to not only read, but to finish writing. I gave up with the MLA format research paper and decided to give the short version here. Anyone who knows me knows that I am a wordy son of a bitch, but I’ll try to keep this blog readable to any poor soul who stumbles across it.
Anyone who knows me also likely knows that I tend to put off things that don’t produce some kind of income, but I’ve been inspired to write by a few sources.
The first is Gail’s handiwork at itsagailthing.com. See you in a few weeks G!
The second source of inspiration (not taking anything away from Gail, but a close second), is the best show on any medium: Californication. As a writer who isn’t writing anything, Agent Fox Mulder is forced to find his muse in a sea of “pointless pussy.” Duchovny is mastery incarnate in this show and I see a lot of myself in his character’s character and path. If you haven’t watched this show yet, get on it. I devoured season one in about one full sitting. Seriously, watch it. In other news, Battlestar Galactica is back on!
Third, some people tell me or have told me that I am actually good at this writing thing, so I’d like to continue doing it before I forget how to. Use it or lose it, right?
Fourth and maybe last, I have had a lot of things in my craw of late. Most of it has to do with sports, but some of it is just life observations and thoughts in general.
If you aren’t satisfied with this introductory issue, feel free to return it for a full refund, minus shipping and handling. If you are satisfied, condolences.
Later.
