Being the creative type that I am, I write, make photos, make digital art, draw when the mood strikes me, have all these ideas about all kinds of cool stuff. But of late I have been struck my inspiration while in the shower. I know that there have been silly inventions like waterproof pens and pads for jotting down those great shower ideas, but that seems a bit much. These are mainly little blog ideas, little rants about one thing or another that I think would be kind of cool to prattle on about for a few paragraphs. But then,…

Anna Nicole Thoughts
When Elvis died it was a big deal. Ripping of hair and gnashing of teeth and a general moaning of lose among a lot of tubby old women that were shown over and over again in the streets outside of Graceland. There was a two hour tribute show after the news went off. Tabloids devoted entire issues to The King of Rock and Roll.Much the same thing happened with John Lennon was killed. To me the most amazing part of the story was the common knowledge that John Lennon walked back to his apartment every night around midnight and you…
Time, time, time-clutter, clutter, clutter
There are days when I want to do a lot. I look around and want to get rid of the trash that seems to grow exponential around here. But that leads to sorting a bit of the clutter that is mingled in with the trash. Which leads to thoughts about the stuff left over from my vast eBay Empire, that is vast now only in the amount of crap I have that didn’t get any bids. Which, eventually, leads to the floor which might need a bit of vacuuming or maybe just a big pile of stuff that I am…
about that novel
The new work is moving along at a nice pace, seeing as I am only working on it during the odd morning when I am not working. But then, that is alright as well-gives me time to think about things a bit.The story is now at that stage where I read over what I have written and come to the realization that it is exactly like something else. This happens with all stories, as there really is nothing new under the sun. So I have to resist the temptation to say well, I am not as good as so-and-so who…
Super Bowl Thoughts
I was not a jock when I was in school. In fact, my sport of choice, cycling, was major nerd territory. When I was in school it would still be three years before pretty boy Greg LaMond won the Tour De France three time and about a ten years before Iron Man and Living God on Earth Lance Armstrong would win the Tour Seven Times. When I was into cycling it was ruled by people with unpronounceable names using equipment suppled by companies with unpronounceable names most often riding in countries I had never heard of-with, yes, unpronounceable names. This…
Here we go again
I have started and deleted a couple of blogs now. There is an odd kind of satisfaction that comes from writing something and then making it go away. It’s that feeling all writers share. In the good old days this was best expressed with a wastepaper basket surrounded by crumpled paper. Of course, no one write on a manual typewriter any more, do they? Well, if they do, is it at all likely that they read blogs in their spare time? Anyway, here I am, at the start again. A clean slate, a blank book waiting to be filled. It…
