the sunday sixer entries are one of two things for me…
…really easy, and they write themselves, or labored as hell. the last one was the latter. this one was actually both. how the hell can it be both? read on…
six things that are causing me writer’s block these days…
6. so much online, so little time… i have a nasty habit i’ll own up to…you leave me single long enough, i start looking for love in all the wrong places – like online, for example. i sit down in front of the computer and two things cloud my brain – music and pussy (not always in that order). while this site provides neither for any of us (which is probably a good thing) it lowers in on my priority list, even though it’s my home page…and should be yours, too. 🙂
5. much ado about nothing after i get home, there’s so much to do…laundry, cleaning, dishes,that stubborn clog in the sink – and none of it gets done. i plan to, i really do, but then there’s the couch, the tv, the dvr. and speaking of…
4. my addictive personality i’m starting to realize i have a problem here. after over a year of no cable i got direct tv. love it. absofuckinglutely love it. wind and rain don’t seem to effect it, despite the commercials (and out here in the sticks the wind and rain that WOULD effect it also effect the big fuck all dishes at the time warner office so cable does the same thing, actually) and i dvr everything i missed during that year off so there’s catching up to do. combine that with my iTunes obesession (kramer, that hard drive still don’t fly, btw) and the whore doesn’t get the attention she ought to, i guess. at least i’ve kept my every forty-eight hours promise…
3. my new found irresponsibility? – so here’s something i’m starting to notice about myself – if i feel i HAVE to do it, i find i no longer WANT to do it. case in point, the sight – if something happens to get sent my way, or something cool and random happens, i text myself a reminder, build an entry, and away we go…but make it to where i’m just doing an entry ’cause i HAVE to, and the magic goes away. same can be said of lots of things lately, like work. speaking of…
2. my impending unemployment – there were talk of big layoffs at work, and i was on the block due to sluggish sales, which i maintain is a blend of the economy and my account set, but the bigwigs don’t see it that way. so my paychecks the last couple months have been about HALF what they had been (or less) and now after months of poverty i’ll probably get fired? that kind of economic meltdown will fuck with your creativity – and i noticed the entries were getting more bitter and cynical. bitter and cynical CAN be good funny – until it hits “that line”. i think i jet skied across that line a long fucking time ago…
and finally…
1. is there anybody out there? – first off, to echo back to a previous part of the list, the title DID just remind me to add some pink floyd to my iTunes. but you guys need to comment more. seriously. if the entry sucked, tell me. if it was funny, tell me. my old mentor bob shrader used to say for every call you got on your radio show it equated to “x” number of listeners – so i always argued no calls equalled zero times that amount, er go no listeners. he said that was bullshit even if it WAS mathematically correct, but prove me wrong on this. drop a line from time to time. tired of cleaning out all the fucking spam comments – at least i’m not desperate enough to post those fuckers, right?
