Return
It’s been…well, a long time since I last blogged. I have no really valid reason, so I’ll throw out a general “I’ve been busy” and hope no one questions it too much. Truth be told, I have been. Lots of things going on, and pretty much all of them good, for a change. In my … Read more
Want and Need
Similar in some ways I guess. Very different in others. Even more different when you’re deprived of something you want or need. I’ve talked about this before on deviantArt, and here in another incarnation of my blog. I enjoy writing, ie. I want to write; but it’s also something I have to do. I need … Read more
Pain, Gain, and Fame
Blogging is was backbreaking work. For a while now I’ve used an “ergonomic” half-kneeler. I will tell you this much: the Swedes responsible for that have a very different understanding of ergonomics, apparently. My knees back and neck were all badly strained trying to get things done in that. Well, I’d had it. I gave … Read more
Overnight Overhaul
Okay, you got me. It’s wasn’t QUITE overnight. But there was definitely an overhaul. You’re looking at the new face of “The Writer’s Life”. And yes, those are actually pictures I’m using to liven it up a bit. There have been changes in my life lately, and I felt the need to mirror those changes … Read more
Welcome to 2010: The Year That Might Not Suck
It’s been a few days since The Ball in Times Square made it’s famous descent, and the Christmas decorations are slowly being taken down. Things haven’t exactly been wonderful in 2009, in a general and personal sense (for a lot of people, it seems). Jobs were lost and lives were ruined and people had to … Read more
Dreaming of Dreams
I can’t remember the last time I had a dream. A really good, memorable dream. I suppose I never really give myself enough time to get into a good, deep REM sleep. That’s what I get for being nocturnal. At least I can still get bits and pieces of dreams, the scraps, if I try … Read more
Self-Improvement Challenge
Well, I decided enough was enough. This week, I started a self-improvement challenge, for both myself, and my environment. I’ve cleaned the house from top to bottom, reorganized my workspace, gone on long jogs and bike rides, and been eating healthier. Truth be told, I do feel better. I can actually sit at my desk … Read more
War
Wars are raging, In battlefields far. Troops engagaing, Wherever they are. But there are other wars, We fight every day. And we gain more troops, Along the way. In our minds, in the street, the battles rage on. But we accept no defeat, For we’ve fought for so long. War on drugs, war for rights, … Read more
Belief
I can’t be sure of what I believe in. Honestly, I suspect that no one really can. I hear people talking about their religions, and I think, how can they believe in something they can’t be sure of? I don’t say this to disrespect anyone, but I find faith hard to swallow sometimes. I say … Read more
Philosopheelings
Sometimes I feel that life is not in simply black and white, that there is no good or evil, and there is no dark or light. It seems to me that all of it’s a subtle shade of grey, opposing forces blending smooth, like nighttime into day. Smooth transitions populate this world we call our … Read more
