I wanted to start writing this entry yesterday but had a flash of procrastinators genius that maybe waiting would help the words magically flow out.  Maybe the build up would make the writing process feel exciting and new.  A potpourri of too much to say, time just  whizzing by! However, no whizzing in my writing.  Writing has always been hard for me.  It ranks up there with taxes.  Always been in the must do; not a want to do.  I know this much about good writing… You better not disrespect her.  She has great power.  Good writing can move people by telling of our greatness.  Bad writing can move a great many  to do great bad things.  Until this blog I’ve always had a poor relationship with writing.  She was always out of my league, like the pretty cheerleader.  She had no use for me so I never paid much attention to her.  I saw her around but never thought I’d be accepted into her circle.  In many ways I tried to feign indifference.  Better not to care than feel inadequate.  Better to not try than realize your missing fundamental writing skills.  Who the hell wants to hang out with cheerleaders anyway?  See what I mean?  Exactly. Your curious though! Ha!   What is it like to hang around the cheerleaders?  Same as writing?  What’s it like?  Must be all this and that.  Must be great to live the bling of a writer.  People seem to ignore that being a hot cheerleader takes a lot of work.  The price of  the Pom Pom royalty comes with a price.  Countless hours of leg kicks and  top of the lung FIGHT ON’s!’  I guess everything does come with a price.  Read more...

Rainy Day Agenda

  • January 22, 2010 12:13 pm

I love the rain and we’ve been getting more than our share of it this week in Los Angeles. I know some people want it to stop but I’m not one of them. Besides, we’re in a drought and can use as much as we can get. I guess if I lived a 9-to-5 office existence, I might be annoyed at having to sit in the extra traffic caused by the wet weather or if I had a home in one of the burn areas experiencing flooding, that would change my feelings too. But fortunately that’s not the case.

This is what I did this morning: woke up, put on my running shoes and went for a five-mile run (running in the rain is awesome). Came home, took a hot shower, put on my sweats, made a bowl of oatmeal and hot tea and then plopped down in front of my computer to work (which so far has consisted of surfing my regular morning websites). No need to leave the house for the rest of the day if I don’t want to. Life is good.

And of course, there’s always music playing. I take my music very seriously and when it’s raining, I usually tend to click on the jazz playlist on my itunes: The perfect music to listen to on a wet morning.  Read more...

SAF Seeking… The Human Gazelle

No, not the Gazelle I was talking about.

No, not the Gazelle I was talking about.

The greatest thing about being single is that everyday is an opportunity to fall in love!  You just never know!  That guy who steals your pocketbook might be the love of your life! That girl with the thick brows at the Starbucks might actually write her number on your lowfat caramel machiatto easy caramel no whip!  Everyday, the birds are singing and you find yourself trotting into the open world with no idea of what turns the gods might throw your love life!

When I was in LA….  Read more...
