Sad, Sad, Sad, Sad, Sad (and a bit of good news)

i'm not going to capitulize today. it's not in me. not with my thoughts lately. i'm not depressed, per se, but i have realized a few things that sort of depress me. so yeah.
good news or upsetting stuff first? how bout we do the happiness at the end as a sort of pick-me-up...

part 1: everything ends

more than anything. we want something more than anything. that something may be love, popularity, a sense of belonging, a home, or anything. we focus so hard on getting that one thing we don't see the people around us falling as we climb. why don't we look down? why don't we help them up? why don't we do something? anything! why don't we care about what's going on around us?  it's hard to let yourself drift away from that one goal, but you have to do it.
my teacher won an award. i was happy. but the article began "after 40 years teaching..." what will her last words be? will i know? will i be the one to hear them? what will my last words be? what's the last thing i want to say? who will be there to hear it? will anyone hear what I say, or am I alone?

Good morning Friends, It's Wednesday

And not Friday. I have plans on Friday, so yeah. I'm posting today.
Part 1: Hee Hee it's Funny
Dear Blogger,
NEVER FIX THE LINKS ON HERE!
Sincerely,
Robin.

Now you may have notice that I have linked to my own blog above. This is because somewhere on my website (not saying where) there is a link that leads to nowhere. And since I noticed it, I have not fixed it. I am going to turn my writer brain on to explain something:
This link circles back here the way our lives circle back to things that really matter. We try to conform to media standards. And they just end up taking us back to where things really matter. Follow those links and follow the media, but beware that you'll end up coming FULL CIRCLE. To what ACTUALLY MATTERS and is actually GOOD, INTERESTING, and where NO ONE STALKS ANYONE.

(the above is only funny if you find the link. Even then it's not funny, but it's moderately more interesting.)

4 + Tiredness = only 2 parts

This blog comes to you in 4 parts (If I can think of that many things to talk about!)

Part 1: Storywriting

If you look in the Sidebar of Awesome, you may notice that there's a new box. I am writing a novel. Yes. But you have to understand that I am going through that process 5 to 7 times. You're all going HUH? No I am not writing 5 novels, but I am, however, writing one, but in 5 to 7 parts depending on how long each of them is. (it's currently 6, 526 words!!!) So I am currently in Step #9 EDIT! I am doing it kinda outa order though, so... sorry!

I'm Just Curious....

...of how you see me, curious of what went through your head (figure out the song, and I'll give you candy. Not really.)

I just accomplished something rather amazing. I mean, like REALLY amazing. And before I tell you what it was, Ima build some suspense. SSSUUUSSSPPPEEESSSEEE....
If you don't know me... oh, actually, you all know me.
LET ME REPHRASE THAT...
If you don't know what one of the most epic things I got for Christmas is. If you guessed my piano, you're right. But the slightly less epic thing I got is....
DRUM ROLL brrrrrummmmmmmmmm............

Dead (Serious, I Mean)

It's annoying, honestly. Not being able to finish stuff. I mean, no matter how good the idea I have for a short story (Or a story in general), I can NEVER FINISH THEM. And I want to get my ideas out but I CANNOT. So tomorrow will be two things: Listen to the Beatles all day long day and Write as much as possible day. I hope whoever sees this will join me... but who knows...
I like the idea of having my work published. It's a dream of mine. I want someone to turn to my book or story to escape. I want people to be able to read my work.
But first it must be finished.
That's a challenge...

Yeah. Hey. So I am tired and if I'm going to write anything GOOD tomorrow (which maybe one day you will see), I need to sleep.

I wrote twice last week. Get over it.

LOVE YA'LL
Rex

(Sorry About the short Post and the rudity of my sign off. SORRY! I was very tired.)

Ranting

So I know it's not Friday.
Get over it.
(wow you're charming this morning Rex!) (I'm grumpy and you'll see
why)
Here's what I think happened at the AMERICAN AIRLINES office.
"Hey Bob, I'm bored. What can we do to spice things up around here?"
"I don't know, Joe. How about canceling the AA flight for 6pm tonight?"
"You mean the one from UTAH to ******* that the lovely O***** FAMILY
IS TAKING?" Winks at camera.
