Help Me Understand

Greetings!

Today has been a most productive day. I pounded out a good 1500 words!!! wahoo. Which was the most unenthusiastic wahoo of all time. And some, shall we say, interesting things happened completely unexpectedly between a certain couple of characters. Man alive I can't wait for everybody to read this, it's going to blow some minds. Well probably not but some of you might like it.

I also went for a bike ride today. Tried to make it up the canyon but stopped at the mouth of the canyon and turned around. I was just to tired. Been feeling a little strange today, not sure what that's about.

On the movie front, I recently saw a few new movies I would suggest. The two that stood out were Trollhunter, a foreign movie I randomly a trailer for on Youtube, and Alien, the classic Ridley Scott film. Both great stuff. Well I gotta go, dinner time.

It's Better This Time Than Ever Before

Sometimes the advancement of technology scares me. I am not the type of person who changes easily nor accepts change easily. I've tried to become that type of person and I think I've made a lot of progress but sometimes I read technology news blogs or websites and just get kind of freaked out.

One thing that has been strangely hard for me to let go is the idea of a home phone line. Just your classic land line that the whole family shares. Maybe three different hand sets through the whole house that connect to the same line. Classic, right?

My recent solution is that we keep the two phones my wife and I have and then purchasing a pay buy the minute type phone to use as our land line. That way we never have to worry about keeping up with the bills on something that we rarely use but we'll always have a backup from a different service provider. And a separate number if one of our phones craps out or we forget to pay the bills.

But this is just one solution to one problem. There are many more that loom but I dare not think of them.  When did I become and old man?

Looks like there is still backed up traffic in the future... *sigh*

I'll Cross The Street

Today is turning out to be quite an excellent day. I don't want to get into the details just yet but things are shaping up quite nicely.

I've started playing Fable 2 again which is 1-Awesome and 2-Severely cutting into my everything else time.
Sometimes Video Games, sometimes...

Finally... Sorry guys. Couldn't resist this picture.

Victory Victory!

I just finished a scene I have been working on for about a month now! JEAH!!! Three or four days of just buckling down and writing not for word count but to finish the scene paid off. *Sigh*
Thank heaven. Time to relax... JK. I get to write more!

Going Far, Getting Nowhere

Ahh... it's been a good day. I woke up late, having gone to bed late, and ate an excellent egg, spinach, ham sandwich with my lovely wife while we watched the latest season of The Big Bang Theory, my current favorite TV show. Seriously guys, it's awesome.
Then I went on a hike up Rock Canyon which allowed me to think about stuff, get things clear again. It's amazing how quickly my view can become cluttered by garbage but going on a walk or hike or ride always clears it up toot sweet. Jealousy is one of my biggest problems right now. It really throws off my thinking and centers me on the wrong things. Gah!
Anyways! Then I came home and we ate rice and ham and each had a big salad which was DELICIOSO!!! Mucho so. Then more TBBT (yeah, that's right. I abbreviated my addiction) and then to writing at which I wrote over 1500 words. YES! Also I've been listening to 80's music lately, specifically The Cure, Depeche Mode, Tears for Fears. Also threw some Death Cab for Cutie, Fleetwood Mac, and The Flaming Lips in there just to get a little variety. I think I'm set for a while with this playlist. At least when I'm not exercising.
When I'm exercising, I like to jam to Pop Goes Punk 3 & 4. Great stuff, all upbeat and screamy the way I like my pop.
Oh yeah! Another thing: I've been trying to get a job as a writer for a magazine or website. I don't have any professional experience but decided to apply anyways. I've only heard back from one website and it was a rejection but at least I heard back! A rejection is always better than nothing. Anyways, pray, meditate, or throw good thoughts my way, depending on what you believe. Thanks!

Sippin' On A Patron Just To Calm My Nerves

If I keep burning bridges at this rate I'm going to be stuck very very soon. On the plus side I'm learning a lot about myself and what I can and can't do. Or maybe it's more accurate to say what I will and won't do. Yeah, that's better. Gonna miss mv and wish I hadn't thrown that away. Oh friggin well.

Writings going well. Wrote 500 last night, 1000 the day before and I got my book back on track. This chapter I'm working on had just gone all Ozzy on me (off the rails... on a crazy train...?) but I was able to pull it back in and I think it's going to turn out quite nice actually.

Also it's nice to learn that I'm not a socially retarded psycho, that some guys are just completes arse holes. Yeah I said it. Arse. A near curse. Whatcha gonna do? Call the ghostbusters on me?!!

And now this blog post has gone all Ozzy so I'm going to sign off. In parting, just remember:

"...keep your boots tight, keep your gun close and die with your mask on if you got to..."

What Heist Were You Watching?

The internet on my phone has not been working for almost a month and I'm going CRAZY! About a year ago I started switching my music listening from CD's and MP3's to streaming. It's a lot cheaper and easier but NOT WHEN YOUR INTERNET DOESN'T WORK!!! Bloody Sprint.

I just wrote almost a thousand words in my book! But that's not that great because I haven't written in weeks. But thank heavens I'm starting again. It's always that first session that's the hardest.

ALSO I'm starting a NEW job on monday. I know I know. Another? Really? Well better believe it baby.
