Tired
I'm exhausted lately. I'm not sure how much of this is from drama overload, how much is from a recent bout of the flu, and how much is accumulated physical weariness from strange work hours and too little sleep.
I just know I've become a black hole of tiredness that no amount of sleep or rest or relaxation can fill. -
To those of you who participated...
In making something I was already doing infinitely easier,
Thank you.
I doubt it was your intention to grant me a sense of detachment and peace.
But that was your result. -
(Untitled)
Pain is a hammer
Loneliness an anvil
Apathy an ore
Rage stokes the forge-fire
Despair quenches the shaped work
Armor against the world
Strong, black, impervious,
But useless when not worn,
or willfully left open. -

Writer's Block: Brand Loyalty
Quality is really the only reason for loyalty, in my case.
Some brands have a long-standing and well-guarded reputation for quality and excellence of service, such as Red Wing, Carhartt, Ruger, Toyota, and so forth.
These, I will buy whenever I have the option.
I'll even pay a bit more, because I know I'm getting the best goods available, they'll hold ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: Sarah Palin?
A little of both, but probably more liability.
In the "good call" column: She has a reputation as a reformer, she lives the standards she preaches, and she adds a bit of youth and vigor (and let's be honest, a bit of leg) to an aging, tired John McCain
In the Liability column: She's a hardcore Pro-lifer in a climate that's becoming more and more ( Read more... ) -
Writer's Block: The Meaning of Love
I find that I hold with Heinlein's definition.
To love someone is to place their happiness and well being as a higher priority than your own.
Simple, concise, and to the point, I know of few better ways to sum it up.
This is an understanding that has evolved over time.

Obligatory Lyrics Post
Rush: Something For Nothing
.Waiting for the winds of change
To sweep the clouds away
Waiting for the rainbows end
To cast its gold your way
Countless ways
You pass the days
Waiting for someone to call
And turn your world around
Looking for an answer to
The question you have found
Looking for
An open door
You dont get something for nothing
You dont get freedom ( Read more... )
