 |  I write, therefore I am |
|
I write, therefore I am. I am nothing special; just a common man with common thoughts, and I've led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten. But in one respect I have succeeded as gloriously as anyone who's ever lived: I've loved another with all my heart and soul; and to me, this has always been enough. PLUGS:

| That's probably not a very good title for an entry. It sounds kind of depressing. I cannot wait for this Friday. Besides the next Harry Potter movie coming out, the Johnny Cash biopic comes out as well. Really looking forward to that. I feel kind of weird about getting a yeller briefcase. I love it, but I feel weird since there are so many people who have been here longer who write really good stuff have yet to be moved up. It just makes me feel a little strange, I know I am being silly. If any of you have a chance stop by Tor and Mel aka Mrs. Tor's blogs and give them your condolensces. They recently lost one of their dogs. He sudden took ill and pasted away. If you know anything about the both of them you will know how much they love their animals and all animals. It's sad that one of their dogs has gone, and I really think they could use a little cheering up from their WDC family. Well I think I are off to sleep, kinda tyred. Peace. quote, These are the simple rules. No barking, now growling, you will not lift your leg to anything in this house. This is not your room. No slobbering, no chewing, you will wear a flea collar. This is not your room. No begging for food, no sniffing of crotches, and you will not drink from my toilet. This is not your room.

It is something that I have out grown, but continually find myself drawn back to. Yes, I know it is fake, I know it is scripted. I know it is just a soap opera for men. Every now and a gain something real happens that makes you stop for a moment in shock. Yesterday morning the body of wrestler Eddie Guerrero was found in his hotel room. He died of an apparent heart attack with his toothbrush still in his mouth. Eddie had trouble with addictions most of his adult life; both drugs and alchohol. He almost lost his family and his career because of it. Just a few days ago he celebrated his fourth year of sobriety and over the last few years he had become a born again Christian. He was thirty-eight years old, survived by his wife and three daughters. Eddie Guerrero 1967-2005 Rest in Peace |
| Every now and then things happy that make me feel lucky and loved. I feel lucky that I have found so many friends here at WDC. And the list keeps growing everyday. It's amazing to me that there are so many wonderful people here who want to see everyone else become better writers and they are all so understanding of eachother. I feel lucky to have someone in my life as wonderful as the Lady Dee. Tonight she told me that she was falling for me again, but with everything going on with her soon to be ex-husband she wasn't sure if she was ready for that. I told her that I would always be here for her, no matter what. I feel lucky in the fact that after only five months as a member of this wonderful community I have been promoted to Preferred Author. I was surprised when I came in here to check e-mail before going off to bed and I was greeted by a yellow briefcase. Needless to say it was a wonderful feeling. It may not be much to some people, but it made me smile and feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Well I think it is off to sleep now. See you on the flipside. quote; And you must be Ringo. Look, darling, Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistoleer since Wild Bill, they say. What do you think, darling? Should I hate him? Yes, but there's just something about him. Something around the eyes, I don't know, reminds me of... me. No. I'm sure of it, I hate him. Doc Holliday (Val Kilmer) - Tombstone |

| I come to you head bowed and hat in hand. It has been almost twenty nine hours since my last confession. I just looked up at the clock and saw that it was past midnight. That means that for the first time in over forty days I have not made a post in my BLOG. It may not seem important to you, and in the grand scheme of things it really isn't all that important, but still I hate that I have lost my chance to hae two solid blue months. Tired have been my days of late. No matter how long mine eyes find rest they continue to long for sleep. Well I have almost completed the three new chapters for each of my novels in progress and they should be posted soon. Then I will try to post the few short stories I have ricocheting in my mind. I am pretty sure that they will all be contest entries. I saw a particular contest that was looking for a romance story with an unusual twist. I was thinking along the lines of a kidnap victim falling for one of her captures and vice versa. Kind of a Helsinki Syndrome type story. But we shall see if I can manage to make something work out for that. We shall see, we shall see. There is also a contest looking for a story inspired by a particular song and there are four songs to choose from. I think I have an idear for that too. I will be glad when I finish Chapter Six for Perpetual Rage so I can move along with the rest of the story. It's weird having a chapter in third person when the rest of the story has been in first person. But I needed the change for this chapter because it is told through the eyes of someone other than the Anti-hero, and I felt that doing it in first person would confuse people as to who is telling that chapter. I think that made sense. I also have to continue my characterization excercise for one of my writing workshops. Fun fun fun, til daddy takes the t-bird away. hehe. Oh well I think that is enough rambling for now. quote; I have to believe in a world outside my own mind. I have to believe that my actions still have meaning, even if I can't remember them. I have to believe that when my eyes are closed, the world's still there. Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce) - Memento |
| Times change and the more they stay the same. It was not quite so long ago when I could not write even the littlest bit. Everytime I attempted to put pen to paper I stumbled and gave up. I was having doubts planted by my ex-girlfriend. Now I find that I cannot write again. Not because I have doubts, but because there are so many things cramming themselves in my brian, trying to find away out. There are so many stories rolling around in my head that I am having a hard time getting any of them to paper. It seems that every waking moment I am thinking of one story or another. MY mind will not stop running through scenario after scenario. So now I am working on three chapters to three different novels, plus a wide array of short stories. It feels like my mind is crammed with ideas and no way of getting them out. Today I was treated by a visit from the Lady Dee. I must say that she was really happy with the haircut. I got a big kiss and hug as a reward. If I knew that would happen I would have gotten a haircut long time ago. lol. quote; I want something great. I want something that's never been done before!

| Life is funny sometimes. Have you ever given someone advice and realised that it was advice you too should follow? Recently someone on the website said that they were putting off a chapter because they did not know certain procedures that would be mentioned in the chapter. I advised that they write the chapter, then come back later to fix what needs fixing. At least that way the chapter gets put to paper and they can move on to the next chapter. As soon as that was said I realised that that is advice I too should follow. I have been putting off finishing chapter six of Perpetual Rage because it deals with one of the doctors alone, and I was uncomfortable with the wording that the doctor should use. SO I think now I will jump in with both feet and knock it out. After all, as I said, I can go back to it and fix mistakes later. Silly me. I recieved a very nice email from a newer member of WDC today. This young lady sat and read my entire BLOG all 108 entries. She wrote to tell me how much she enjoyed it and how much she could sympathise with some of the things I wrote there. I find it amazing that something we feel is inignificate, just rambling really, can hold some importance to other people and make them feel like there are others like them out in the world. Awesome. I think that is all I have to say for now. Im gonna go try and tackle that chapter six now. Time to follow my own advice. quote; It all makes sense, in the comics you know who the arch villain is going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero! And most time's they're friends like you, and me. I should've known way back when you know why David?! Because of the kids! They called me Mr. Glass. Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson) - Unbreakable |
| It's funny, but when I sit before my computer screen and am faced with a blog entry, I get overcome with the sensation of biting into a York Peppermint pattie. Oh wait, wrong comercial. Sitting here night after night, I get wistful and nostalgic. I think of long past days and it's like I look back on them with a white blending border. I don't get depressed sitting her, it is a weird feeling that I cannot quite bring words to explain. It is funny when I was a teenager I imagined my life so much different than it is. I imagined myself married with a handful of "youngins", a lovely wife, and a smile on my face. Instead I sit here with a computer for company and a pillow to hold. Now before you start to preach of better days, I am not depressed, or even distressed. The only word I can think of is wistful. I mourn days that never happened. I don't want to run no more. I'm going home to Greenbow, Alabama. quote; She wanted me to tell you she saw you dance. She said when you were little you and she had a fight, right before your dance recital. You thought she didn't come see you dance. She did. She hid in the back so you wouldn't see. She said you were like an angel. She said you came to the place where they buried her. Asked her a question? She said the answer is... everyday. What did you ask? Cole Seer (Haley Joel Osment) - The Sixth Sense |
| I am so tired. This just hasn't been my week. I twisted my ankle on Thursday, had a migrane one Firday, and I was not feeling well all yesterday. Today I have awakened feeling worse than yesterday and I feel as if I could get sick at any minute. But I can't be sick today, this is the first day I open the store, becuase the manager has not had a day off in two weeks. It wouldn't be right to call her on my first day of authoritay and say "Um, yeah, well, I'm sick can't make it in. I was talking in the phone to the Lady Dee last night and I told her of my problem. It would seem that the anger I had right before my vacation a few months ago is returning. It's weird, I hate to see people mistreated who cannot defend themselves, yet right now I am irritated by everyone. I'm just so tired, I want to crawl back into bed and sleep the day away. My eyes are heavy and my stomach is doing flips. It's only a six hour work day, but it's going to be so long. I don't know how most of you that write can focus on one story at a time. At the moment I am working on all threee of my novles as well as a couple of short stories. I wish I could take all of these thoughts out of my head and just throw them onto paper. I write all my chapters out in longhand, before I type them into word, then I copy them onto the site. A friend told me that there is a pen that records what you write, then plugs into the computer and puts it into word for you. NOw that I need to look into. Well I must be off. Ishall add a quote later, running late don't ya know. peace |
