Work is going... okay. It's definitely work but my schedule changed to mornings M-F so that definitely helps but getting up early is really kicking my butt.

Never Guitars In July
It's the last day of January tomorrow. Crazy stuff. I've been able to stay on top of writing this month and in fact I'm actually ahead of my monthly goal and will probably end January about 2500 words on top. YAY!
Work is going... okay. It's definitely work but my schedule changed to mornings M-F so that definitely helps but getting up early is really kicking my butt.
Yeah, yeah!

You're Never Going To Believe This!
Staying positive is rough sometimes. I do well one day but then it's like... why do I have to be positive again?!

Totally, You Guys
Dear God.
Do I really need another dose of humility? Have I not been HUMILIATED enough times in my life? I suppose by the measure of today that I have not. Well... I suppose I should stop expecting things to go well ALL the time in my life, eh? Or, like, ever?
Sincerely, Me.
Anyways... as you can probably tell from the above post, things could be better in my life. And yes, damn it, I know things could be worse. I've lived those worse times, I freaking know they exist. But honestly things could be going a lot better for me. And yet at the same time it begs the question: What did I honestly expect from MY life?
They say God created everybody and gave them their flaws. I would like to take this time to thank God for creating me the way I am. Yes in my design was created, by way of nature AND nurture, the most successful and happy possible person to live in this world God created the rules for. Oh wait, the opposite of that. Yeah.
Thanks. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Really.
P.S. Sorry for the self pitying post. Sometimes all this bitterness builds up inside me and it's hard not to vent it.

We Were Born To Rage
I recently read a couple articles that I would suggest for anyone who feels like they've reached a slump in their life. I had been feeling that way lately when I stumbled across these articles and now the last two days I've been feeling extremely motivated.
First there is this Cracked.com article. I know, I know. Cracked, right? How can I find an article on a humor website to be a motivational tool? Well read it and find out.
The second article was referenced in the Cracked article above. It's an interesting idea that's lead to interesting discussions at work for me today and mirrors a general feeling I've been getting from life lately.
So for the last three months(minus two weeks at the beginning of November) my writing goal was 25,500 words by the end of December. Well we are four days away from the end of the year(depending on how you count the days) and I'm about 10,000 words short. I'm coming in at 15,890 as of tonight.
As this is incredibly sad and lame of me, I am making my New Years Resolution to have finished two novels by the end of 2013. Yes, that's right folks. I have declared that I will have two finished novels by the END OF 2013!!! You can hold me to it. I published it on the internet so it has to be true, right? Right? Guys... where are you going? Wait, answer my question before you go!

Christmas Bells
It's almost Christmas! Unfortunately I am not very excited about Christmas this year. It seems that every year it becomes a less big deal for me and this year I haven't felt the holiday spirit at all. Maybe it's because I have to work Christmas eve AND day. Which completely sucks. But I'll get holiday pay which will be nice. But still. Life gets a little less magical every year.
Wrote again today, as evidenced by a blog post because when do I ever post otherwise, and then I was looking at my writing tracker and I've only written SIX TIMES THIS MONTH. And it's the 23rd today. WTF Mike, WTF.
Happy Holidays y'all.

A Real Human Being, And A Real Hero
Got some more writing done today. about 1700 words so far today. Called in sick to work, not feeling great.
What do you do when you've lost you're hope? The glimmer of something better that keeps you from going crazy when it all gets almost to much. I've lost mine and I'm looking for another. It makes me feel physically ill to even think about life sometimes. Ugh.

Reservoir Cats
A couple things my friends.
First: My lovely wife is coming home today. Hurrah.
Second: Terry Pratchett is a genius. His books are incredible. Check out his work.
Third (Yeah I know. I said a couple): I'm watching Reservoir Dogs. Before that I watched Deathproof and Planet Terror. All excellent flicks. Say what you will about the man, Quentin Tarantino knows how to make a quality movie. Oooh and speaking of quality movies, I just saw Seven Psychopaths. That movie is HILARIOUS and surprisingly touching while still being horrifically violent. Interesting how they're able to combine the two.
Fourth: Started writing again.
