In need of inspiration
This has been such a boring weekend. I went out saturday morning to check out some horror movies that were supposed to be on sale and all I found was Tim Burton's Sleepy Hollow. Then I had to ask to make sure it was on sale, because nothing was marked anywhere. Picked it up for $7.88.
I did manage to doodle a cartoon with, but its pretty tiny. And didn't exactly turn out the way I had hoped it would. I think my muse went on vacation and forgot to let me know. I haven't had any real inspiration for a while now.
The other day at work one of the guys and I were talkig about books. We talked about how we each thought of writing a book someday and how it would go. I know if I ever got around to starting one it wouldn't start with either "Once upon a time....." or "It was a dark and stormy night..." those have used way too much. I had a couple good ideas, I thought, on how I would start writing something, but when I got up to grab a pen to get it out so I could see it in print, I lost the thought.
I also wanted to write something for a friend. Something that wouldn't sound so dark and moody, that she might actually think sounded good. She writes poems and songs all the time. I don't even remember what it was like to be her age, that was too long ago. So, my inspiration seems to have temporarily left my person. And the other day I was so tired I think I actually went to a point beyond boredom. Where there is even more of nothing.

My sister and I were just talking about writing an autobiography. She said her's would be called "My Crazy Life" lol I hadn't thought of a good title for mine yet. I've often thought of sitting down and writing a book, man it really is harder than it seems to do. It never seems to come out on paper the way it sounds in my head, maybe that's why I have yet to do it.
Its a rare thing when the thought in my head remains the same when the pen hits the paper. Especially if I am writing a poem or something. I have been thinking of writing a poem or something on that order for my best friend's daughter, but i've tried three times and each time it came out different than the one before.
I used to write short stories all the time. But that was a long, long time ago. I had an idea going once in high school that got up to around 60 pages and then I lost the thought. If I wrote an autobiography it would probably be called "A whole lot of forgetting" as I have forgotten more things over the years than I can remember.
