Perhaps I should start drinking heavily?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008I haven’t been writing much. The only answer I have for this is that I’m content and when I’m content I have nothing to write about…because I’m mostly drivin to write about negative things. I like to write about crazy people and bad experiences and things that make me want to hit people. I haven’t felt like hitting anyone lately…hence the quiet blog. This can’t be a good thing. I shouldn’t only feel like being creative when things are bad, but I don’t think I’m alone in this. Just look at most artistic types…the batshit crazy, the alchoholics, the depressed. You show me one positive, fully-functional creative adult and I’ll show you a person who can only write pop songs about sincere boyfriends and candy.
That being said, I don’t want to give this up. I also don’t want it to turn into some cheesy-ass diary about how awesome my life is. Cause who wants to read that shit?
I don’t want to wish to go back to my old ways either. Who wants to only ready about my insomnia and various temp jobs? Ok, the temp jobs were sort of funny. And I still sometimes miss my one temp boss who told me “make the files or else it gets the hose again”.
My goal for 2008 is to get my finances back on track so it’s going to be a slim year of livng. Although I’m sure it won’t hold me back from seeing my share of movies…it will however keep me from taking a trip across the ocean, or even across the country I’m afraid. My very practical sister Celia has sent me a budget spreadsheet. I’m pretty sure if I printed it out it would take up about 10 feet of carpeting. Celia is a budget maniac! I think she will get me on the right track though…if anyone can do it, she can.
OK, so I’m gonna go back to counting down the minutes before I can leave work and go watch Eagle vs. Shark on DVD.
