    I arrived home a little while ago from running an errand for a friend, and have been staring at my computer ever since. I prefer to write six days a week, and today I am finding myself struggling. I explored some unfinished projects, I stumbled through about one hundred websites, and flipped through the news of the day. None of these paths have given me anything interesting. The next step I take when stuck is to start looking through correspondence with friends, perhaps in there someone said something that could inspire me. It has worked before, but today it did not.
    I moved on to looking through blog's and websites of both friends and strangers alike, and that is where I found todays offering.
    I am going to ask a question... and expect you to answer with questions. It is a scientist that I am copying.

    Usually I find that sort of exchange pretty annoying.
    Me: "What time is it?"
    You: "Why do you need to know?"
    Me: Because I need to know if it's time to hit you in the face with a frying pan, just answer the damn question!"

    anyway...
       I am at a point that I want to know what people who stop by and read this blog think about.
       I am asking for you to propose a topic or just ask a question of me. I propose no limitations. Anyone who has been reading here for more than a week knows that I quite often change theme from personal to silly to creative writing. What I am looking for, is for you dear reader to challenge. I stress again that there are no limitations, and assuming I get asked more than one question or presented more than one topic, I will start with my favorite and work out from there.
       Here are a variety of ways to get in touch with me.
       #1 comment on this post, I read them and almost always reply so  start there.
       #2 Email me. I check that about a million times a day.
       #3 Facebook. This is a link to my fan page, I only have eight and I am one of them. There are discussion boards and communication avenues abound so join up, stroke my ego and ask me a question.

       I look forward to the challenge of standing up straight in the face of your proposals and look forward to hearing from you

       So here it goes... What do you want to know? .

    I had so many true intentions to make this a pure ideal of an entry. I was going to be creative and insightful about my trip and the surrounding events. I had high hopes for myself I really did... I was wrong.
   
    I also thought for a moment that I was going to write a hugely complicated blog, with links and videos featuring an anthology of "retards in cinema", but I am too lazy for that tonight.

    What to write about?
    What to say?

    I'll get back to you tomorrow.
   
    I seem to have crossed the path of some sort of mental inhibitor, something that has changed the pathways and ability to think... perhaps alien technology. I should go make a tinfoil hat to keep them from stealing my thoughts.
   

     I have been tirelessly searching the internet for things either thought inspiring or really damn funny. I have found neither. I have made a number of redundant discoveries about the internet however and I will list them in no particular order.
   
    1. Stumble Upon will eventually lead you to a cute cat picture.
          These seem to have no end to their supply. I personally do not find them cute, amusing sometimes I am not even sure it is a cat.

    I did in fact find myself thinking a little bit about joining the evolution vs. creation argument, but I think it's just a silly fight to get into... the answer is pretty obvious don't you think...
    I have also considered giving my own speech on God and Religion, but while wandering the internet I took a few tests, and discovered I don't know a thing about anything.

CLICK HERE AND TAKE THE TEST

    In short I wasted a lot of time today, time I could have spent trying to remember the specifics of the dream that I had last night, the one that woke me up with the only thought that it was the greatest premise for a story ever... and it meant a solid break from my writers block.
    Nope, what I have to show for my searching for inspiration is THIS.

    Now if you were a little put off when you found out that you are not quite as untouchable as you thought you were in your thought on God, you could always take the "How many five year olds could you take in a fight test.", although that one didn't make me feel any better about myself. I don't think it would have made a difference whether it was a lot or a little. It just felt wrong to take that test. If I want to know how many five year olds I can fight I will go to the playground with a chip on my shoulder and some nasty things to say about Dora the Explorer.

    If you are looking for discovery or enlightenment, do not go to the internet. Not only will you find cats, games and the strange, but eventually anything you put into a search engine ( any search engine ) will lead to porn.



          This has been your guide to wasting time, congratulations you just passed level one by reading this on the internet...

Have a great weekend.

I am having one of those stare at the blinking cursor kind of days. I've paced, watched television and listened to tunes. I can't seem to find anything to put on the page. Sure there is a half dozen started projects that I could pick up, but my frustration level with each of them grows expedientially with every passing page.
    I opened a bottle of wine in my mind and tried to tell a story to myself.
    I have also been trying to fool myself into thinking that just because I have stories to tell that I am a writer.
    I have been reading my inspiration field guide The Write Brain

    So now I have leafed through the pages, picked through the assignments and chosen none.
   
    I will bite the bullet and choose to do nothing today but laundry and to clean the bathroom.

    Now back I go to music and television and cruising the internet for some new and insightful look into something, anything.

    My artist of the day is Dan Bern , an artist I have had the luck to meet and talk to, and get high with back when I used to get high a long time ago. Not only is he a funny singer/songwriter but occasionally he is insightful and well just damn good. I encourage you to go check him out... go to his MySpace and to his website. He has some impressive artwork as well.
   
    Now I am off to make my bathroom the cleanest in all the land.
