Cataloging the Detritus of my Life

I lost my pen,
Maybe it doesn’t
matter
but it was mine!
and I need it
what is this?
A BIC!?
What the Fuck!
I’m a fucking artist
I need my fucking
fountain pen
this ink
does not inspire
the feel of this
pen is wrong
I’m sure
I’ll have a blister
after writing
this…
I’ve been patient
so I’ll say it one
more time nicely
where is my god-damn
Christ loving pen,
you bourgeoisie pieces
of shit!?
So, here we are in the middle of February and my meditation habit forming goal lies in tatters around me. I’ve done it a grand total of 5 times since Jan. 20th which isn’t a stellar performance, and definitely not enough to form an actual habit. So where do I go from here? The important thing is not to get disappointed and give up. Self Improvement is a good thing and we all should be working on ourselves… If religion has given us anything good, it is the desire to better ourselves and those around us. Back on topic! What do I do now then? I’m not giving up on the Zen meditation, I’m going to continue trying to do it in the morning, but I’m thinking it will go on the back burner while I finish some other important things, and work on easier habits to form…
So what does that mean for you my beloved readers? it means expect more writing here, or less. One of the habits up on the block is writing daily. This can take the form of blog posts, creative writing, or professional writing. Another is waking up at the same time everyday. I’m thinking 8:30 AM or 9:00 AM. But that might need to be earlier I also need to do a test run on taking the train to Sacramento and how I’m going to do this commute for the next several months.
The writing goal is going to be at the top of the list, as I have 3 projects that have to get done before the 27th of this month, 1 that needs to be done before the 15th and several that have been sitting around for far too long. So those are a priority.
In other news, I’m done filling out all the paperwork for my internship, which makes it very real, I’m sure I’ll be getting anxious soon enough. I’ll share it all with you.
As the title suggests this is just a little hodge-podge of going-ons, funny things I’ve found and, you know, random stuff…
First – I’ve completed my review for Contra 4, it can be found here
Next – I’ve been a Ron Paul supporter for awhile now but doing looking closer at the man’s platform has changed my mind. As much as I like libertarian ideals and ideas, it’s not practical or realistic in the world today. Tony Long does a great job explaining why here, he said a lot of what I was feeling in a much more understandable and shorter way. Please read!
Third – This funny comic by political cartoonist Matt Davies. It started with Edwards then Obama took it, now every candidate in both parties is talking about “change” in Washington D.C. as a new thing. Politicians have been promising the American voter change for the last 200 years, somehow though they’ve yet to deliver… strange…
Lastly – I promise real content soon! Um, I’m working on something… Yeah, that’s the ticket! Seriously though I’ve fallen way behind on my own work, I need to rectify that, it’s going into the list of resolutions (speaking of which still not biting my nails!). I have a few ideas for good postings, I hope they show up here soon!
That’s it for now!
P.S. Kisses Diana!
