Words are coming to me

Well, one thing I can say about setting up this blog is that i've been writing a lot more than I have in a while. Even managed to scribbled a couple of lines in my journal the other night. And I wrote out four more pages for my friend, so she may be a little surprised when I hand her a 15 page note.

I used to write things all the time., from lists to fantasies and goals. Back in school I wrote a few short stories, but they weren't anything really good. I have even written a few "nice" poems over the years, but not in a few months. But then it all just seemed to go away and I would only scribble out something on a very rare occasion. One day last year I was setting in my chair and I got an idea in my head and got up and trashed everything I had written for the last five years, which was pretty easy since it would have all fit in one spiral bound notebook.

I have written a few lines since that that time, but no major life altering signs of genius. Not that there would ever be such a thing coming from the tip of my ink pen. No, just a few random thoughts, lists, and complaints about life in general.

Lunchtime

Just finished lunch not too long ago. I have been thinking lately that I really should learn how to cook. I can do a few things in the kitchen, but not much. I've been watching a lot of cooking shows lately, but most of the stuff they made I couldn't eat. I can make a burger or a scrambled egg, but not much more than that. I just cooked up some ground turkey and put in on a hot dog bun with some pizza sauce and shoved it in the microwave. I was at the store the other day and at one point found myself in the aisle with all the pots and pans. Why do they have to cost so much? And why was I looking anyway? Its not like I need my own pans to do my own cooking. I guess. I don't know.

I got to go work on a project I have been thinking of doing for my best friend, now that I can play with video on my computer. Its her birthday(happy b-day to the best friend I ever had!) and I promised her something, even though I probably won't see her until tomorrow. I also promised her a dvd with a slideshow of all the pictures I have of her and her little ones, and it will be finished as soon as she gets me the other pictures she promised me so I can get them on here and in the order I would want to put them in for the show.

I should be setting at my drawing table. And I have been thinking of how I could set up a new table/desk type thing that I could put all the entertainment stuff and computer stuff on and at the other end of the room. One problem is fitting it around the window. The other problem, with so much stuff to plug in, there is no outlet in the corner on the one wall where I would need one. So my plans and ideas for that keep changing. For now everything is lined up along this one wall, along with my desk and shelves that hold my blade collection and the shelves that hold my drawing books and things. And with the bed and the recliner in here, there really isn't much room.

A few words

Sayurday night I watched the two Daria movies that they were showing. I used to watch the show sometimes when it was on. Not sure exactly why though. maybe it was because she reminded me of someone I know. That guy I see in the mirror once in a while when I dare to look at it. Not to say that i'm that cynical or anything. Well, maybe...........

Paper on my mind

For some reason I have been thinking about paper crafts lately. Cards and collages and things on that order. Even went out and bought some paper with leopard skin and zebra stripe designs and blank mini cards. And wasted money on a book that has only maybe one thing I might use in it. Not sure when, or if, I will do anything with it, but maybe I can come up with a good idea for a sketch or two while trying to think of other things. I don't know. I probably would have bought more paper, but they didn't have much of a selection where I was at.

Its Monday

Got up way too early this morning. But did manage to set at my drawing table for a few minutes. Haven't done that in a while. Just haven't had much inspiration to do that lately.

Sleeping at the wrong time

I managed to stay awake most of the day today, but did sleep a little during the Indy 500. I was really hoping Danica Patrick would have won, but she did good. I watched most of the Coca Cola 600. but switched over and watched the drag racing from Topeka, Kansas because it was more interesting. Then, of course, when the race has only ten laps left and the drag racing is heading to the semi-final rounds, I fall asleep. Just long enough to miss the end of both events. I woke up in time to find out who won before both shows went off. Hate it when that happens.

Another boring morning

Well its sunday morning and i'm already bored out of my head, and i've only been out of bed for a little over an hour. I finished writing a few pages that I promised for my best friend because she asked me too, in the end it was 11 pages long. Now there is nothing to do except waste some time until the races start.

Late night rambles

Another night of being bored and not being able to sleep. I feel so tired setting in the chair but as soon as i hit the pillow i'm just laying there trying to get comfortable. I try to think of good things to get myself to relax, but sometimes that doesn't seem to work. Of course lately it seems to be a rare thing where I have a good thought. So I set up and let the thoughts floating through my head annoy the hell out of me and create doubts within my mind. Sometimes I hate being me. There have even been times that I can't remember who me is anymore. So I try to ignore the doubts and set at my drawing table, or my computer, until I can get so tired that if I don't crawl to the bed I will fall over wherever I am.

Memorial day weekend

Memorial weekend once again. Time for another day off of work. Like I really need another one. I could work tuesday, but not going too. Not doing anything this weekend except watching the races and drag racing. Nothing else to do.

First words

Well, I finally broke down and made a blog. Been thinking about it for a long time now. Thinking maybe it will help me to get my thoughts out more, since I haven't written much in a long time and I have a lot of stuff in my head that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever anymore. If anyone wants to read my rants, thats okay. If not, then thats okay too.
