Breaking the Seal
I think I’ve acquired wrinkles since I’ve last been on this site.
I don’t really know what has kept me away. Another lapse in creative spark. My sad little slut of Muse gone packing again. My mind a virtual mish-mash of uninteresting and pathetic loops forever destined to repeat, repeat, repeat.
At least I can say, for the most part, I haven’t been depressed. Yippy-friggin-yee!
But, tonight, an ordinary night albeit cloudy night, I am breaking the seal.
I don’t really know if my titular phrase is actually a common one among drinkers of all ages or just one that we used in at the good ole U-of-F. But, it’s basically the first piss of the night. Once you break the seal the seal is broken. Hold it as long as you can or you’ll be pissing up a storm.
In this case I hope I do piss up a writing storm. It would be nice for a change.
A lot has happened since I’ve been away. Paul has almost finished the kitchen. (Still a ways to go but a big improvement.) He has started a new job. (A foothold in the desperate crawl out of our financial hell hole.) My sister has successfully moved to North Carolina. (Yay! I have family close by! So close in fact that she is in the bedroom next door.) Silas has grown smarter and cuter than ever. (You should hear his rendition of Jingle Bell Rock!) And, I am plugging away at my boards and my job and not finding much time to write. (That’s, in part, a lie. I don’t really work that hard. Most nights, since Paul and my sister both work nights and I am alone with Silas, I cook and play and pass out while snuggling him before bed. This old lady can’t seem to make it must past 8:30.)
So, yeah, nothing of note to write about.
And, I feel like I still have nothing to write about.
But, I am here– none-the-less– for my quarterly post about why I haven’t posted.
I wish I could be one of those daily specials. But, I’m not.
So, love me while I’m here and catch me while you can.
For the moment, at least, I’m back.
Oh, and I have been reading nothing but vampire trash.

oh, i have not been reading vamp trash, but have been watching. i am in love with true blood right now. what wonderful modern southern gothic. some really funny characters, a great soundtrack, and just the right amount of cheesiness.
