Write Drunk, Edit Sober

 


There is an Ernest Hemingway quote floating around the internet that says “Write Drunk; edit sober.” Well, the jury is still out if Mr. Hemingway actually ever said these words, but it’s still an interesting concept. So interesting I am going to give it a try. Why not? Let’s see what will happen……………………..

If you know me very well, you know it doesn’t take too much alcohol to get me feeling pretty good. And just for the sake of not having to feel like crap, I am not going to get crazy drunk. Just some buzzing. That should be enough to make me open up my mind a bit and make it interesting. See you in a couple drinks.

Today I moved. Most people get sad when they move. Especially under the circumstances of my move. But, I’m happy. Even excited. I am ready for this chapter to close. This ends a chapter of my life that I have learned a lot from, but don’t want to visit again. It opens up my life to a whole new book full of awesome things to come. In fact I have never felt this alive. It seems like I am being guided in a direction and I’m just going with it. It feels right. Natural. Hard to explain. If you are not a proponent of “Everything happens for a reason” then you might think I’m a bit crazy. But for once in my life I feel like things are happening for a reason!

This brings me to another point. The idea of letting go. Did I just make you think of the movie Frozen? Ha! Anyways, I think sometimes in life people get so caught up of trying to control their lives and people’s lives around them that they don’t just go with the flow of the Universe. They don’t see the signs because they are too busy trying to make the signs themselves or perhaps they have just become a zombie to the world. But, if you are just still for awhile and let everything go, a direction will become clear. I don’t really know where I’m going with this. But, the point is have some faith. Put it out there what you want to the Universe and it might just happen. Be bold. Ask for what you really want!

On the Drive

Today was just like any other day while driving to work. I was listening to some tunes, spacing off and trying not to be blinded by the sun. Then, I saw something. It was car transporter. But, this one was empty. The wheel tracks leading up to the back of the truck didn't look that far from the ground. It looked as if I could just drive my Ion right up it. I starting thinking to myself.... I should try it. Why should I do the same boring thing everyday? TODAY, I AM GOING TO GET CRAZY!! So I floored my little 4-cylinder Saturn Ion (I felt like Tom Cruise in Days of Thunder). I was determined to get onto the back of the car transporter. My wheels met with the back of the truck, a horrible metal on metal screaching sound pierced my ears. I lost control of the car and did a 360 onto the otherside of the interstate. Wow. I guess the little Ion couldn't handle it. But at least I gave it a shot. :) I can't wait to explain this one to the insurance guy.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everybody out there. Did you know? Each Easter season, Americans buy more than 700 million Marshmallow Peeps, shaped like chicks, as well as Marshmallow Bunnies and Marshmallow Eggs, making them the most popular non-chocolate Easter candy. This is an interesting fact but..... What does it have to do with Jesus rising from the dead and ascending into heaven? Usually I don't say much, but I really do think that holidays have gone out of control! Easter is a Christian Holiday . If you are going to celebrate the occasion at least celebrate it for Jesus. If you want to have another holiday on a different day, with bunnies and eggs and lots of candy, do it. Just on another day. I think it is sad that we have commercialized holidays that have a deeper meaning. I am not against fun and having easter egg hunts, but don't let it taint the real meaning of it all. I know in American we are so "PC" (Politcally Correct), that we are afraid to make anybody f...

The Colgate Curse

If you are like me, you brush your teeth two times a day or maybe even more. The "Colgate Curse" applies to the morning brush. This is the brush before you are exposed to the world, and nobody wants to introduce Mr. Morningbreath to everyone. Keep in mind, this may only happen to me, so I need your feedback...... So there I am, finishing up brushing, spitting out that last mouthful of water and then wiping off my face of any excess toothpaste. I look in the mirror and I think to myself, "There is one good-looking guy, with some minty fresh breath to say the least". But, I have made a fatal error... I have forgotten about......"THE COLGATE CURSE". It usually doesn't hit you until an hour later. You are sitting at work and notice a white paste on your pants. What is that? That has to be toothpaste. Right?! What was I doing last in these pants? Hmmm.. Then you try to take some water and rub out the white stain.... IT ONLY MAKES IT WORSE. Now th...
