Ideas Man
Sometimes right before I fall asleep, or when waking up in the middle of the night, I'll come up with some ideas/dreams for stories or poems or blogs (Dream I). I keep a post-it pad and a pen in the top drawer of my nightstand to scratch down these thoughts. Most of the stuff is written down at 4am without my glasses and turns looks like "ircusinopliv". I have no idea what that means, and it bothers me that that particular thought was probably really awesome or original and is lost now. O well. Anyway, some of my New Year's resolutions are to eat healthier and write more, so I've just started the process of copying all my post-it ideas to my computer. I know this isn't a funny post or anything, but just thought I'd share. Please post any cool resolutions of your own.

yeah, i do the same thing, only mine are legible and usually have a "yes!" or "this is it!" at the end. for example:
ReplyDelete"woman tries to sleep with robot. yes!"
or
"a painter paints his own arm into a painting and can't get it out. why hasn't anyone written this yet?!"
i've heard that waking up next to any ugly chick is a terrible feeling... i have a no ugly chick policy (and i don't drink) so i wouldn't know, but i'm pretty sure these are the literary equivalent of the ugly chick.
ben, i'm going to ask you this only one time... are you or are you not aware that the bird is the word?
ReplyDeletejust yesterday when things were getting stressful at work i was thinking, man i feel like i'm just barely hanging on to the thinnest little branch of a tree. and it's like i don't even have opposable thumbs... like i have paws instead. and i feel kinda of furrly like a cat, but at the same time really cute like a baby cat. and it's like why isn't someone saving me... i'm a cute little kitten hanging on to the tiniest little limb of a tree. and then i think, i just need to hang in there. and you know what, i did, i hung in there. i hung on with the tiniest, little, cutest, hair-covered paws. they should make a poster of me for other peoples' offices... so they can hang in there. you know what i mean?
