RAMBLE ALERT:
I keep hearing that a writer writes everyday - and I won't argue with that. Consequently, I figure about 99% of what a writer puts to paper or blog or whatever is fleshed out quest for idea and inspiration. In other words, maintaining a discipline. This is my art and this is where I practice it.
There will be no performance today. I really have no idea where I am going with this entry. I could say it's reflective of my mindset right now and that would not be entirely untrue - but nor would it be particularly interesting or insightful. This is an exercise. Saturday noontime scheduled tornado sirens void of a cloud in the sky...
I once wrote a song with the sole lyrics being "I've got nothing to say, but I'll say it anyway," repeated ad nauseam. Why do something like that? Because it feels good to flex the muscles. Maybe that's point enough?
Well, if you've read this far without dropping your head into your keyboard from dozing off, just know I appreciate it. My life is in turmoil and I often cannot contain the pain and so I guess sometimes it has to be consigned to here. Expressing thoughts not just as an exercise but also as an exorcism. Get these goddamned thoughts out of my head before they take over. The power of a higher power compels you! Mathematics? Soul? Christ? Nature? Personally I am attracted to nature. It is where I feel most reverent whether it seems placid or overpowering. Nice tangential twist yes?
I start a new job tomorrow and I am glad to be working again. I will do my best to keep up with Every 30 Seconds though - and having experience again with other people on a constant basis ought to make it more interesting than this pit of misery could ever inspire.
