What's to say?...
27 I believe should be the year I finally get my shit together... Although it is not starting as such. I enjoy living in Hamtramck, it's nice to live in a city in Michigan other than the city of Warren. Not to mention it is actually a city setting, rather then a suburban hell hole of sorts. I don't feel as hassled here as I did living in Warren. I also am a fan of several bars within walking distance, along with several markets. Come February though, I do not believe I will re-sign the lease or live in this city anymore for that much. I like it as a nice in between residence.
I've been getting my annual itch to move around again... I enjoyed not being in one state for more than 3 months at a time. The constant day by day excitement of what's next. There's this talk of Disney On Ice. While I may not be a big fan of Disney related things, this actually sounds like a pretty sweet gig. It's basically like travelling around with a high class Carnival... Minus the trailers... The thing I like about the idea of it is, you're on tour for most of the year with 3 months in the summer off. They pay for your food and lodging everywhere you go, you only work an actual 3 days a week, and at the end of the tour they send you to where ever it is you are going for your 3 months off. The last part is what I like the most. So not only will my job for most of the year involve moving from city to city living out of a suitcase, but for my 3 months off I could stay at any number of places. I could go to California and stay with friends out there, I could go to Chicago, Kansas, Portland, etc... The fact that all my food and lodging is paid for too means most of the money I'm making on tour, I'll be able to save and use for my 3 months off. Anyways, I'm toying with that idea... I won't be able to get on the next tour anyways because my lease doesn't end until February.
I've started writing several new projects... Which is kind of stupid seeing how all previous projects are still unfinished... I keep getting new ideas though and the second I do they go into the works. I guess I just have to face the fact that I am too ADD to be a writer. I really am in love with the zombie one I'm writing though. Originally wrote up as a screen play by Tom Beste and I. The originality of it just keeps me pounding away. Despite the fact that I have already basically written the entirety of my road novel, the wording of it has become difficult for me. Every time I write another paragraph I just think it sounds like an 8 year old wrote it... I have no doubt in my mind that this zombie book of mine will be finished before my road book. There's more room for creativity in that, plus I have already written out an entire plot summary. Even has a fun little twist at the end. I have one other one in the works... Sort of... I've only written one paragraph of it. It's my failed love story... Well... Not MY failed love story... Actually it basically is. If any of you have known me at all over the years, I'm willing to bet you could take a good guess as to who the inspiration on the book is. That one will take a while for me to wrote. I feel like I need to go about that particular story delicately. What I love the most about the working of these 3 particular projects is, each one of them is completely different from the other. 3 completely different genres of books. I'm glad I'm getting myself back into the writing game. It really is the one thing I can do that keeps my mind at ease... Most of the time. Other times it makes me want to put a gun to my head... But it's all part of the creative process and overall fun of it.
No girlfriends for me still... I am still very much so content with that as well. I don't have time for that kind of drama in my life. I think it would be nice to have some sort of companionship, but it would be bound to fail anyways, so why bother with the effort? That's not to say I haven't been practicing my "game" though. I get to go see an old friend of mine get married tomorrow... While I am a supporter of love, I feel it no longer REALLY exists these days. I have no date to this wedding, as I didn't bother to find one until the last minute, but that's okay. It will give me a chance to work on my "game" there. What better place to find someone to potentially take home with me then a wedding? If there are any single girls there, they will all have love and above all else loneliness on there minds, and then I drop in and lay my "Briskey Charm" on them, and they're blown away... Probably not... But that doesn't mean I can't try damn it. I have been in such a dry spell lately that it is starting to get on my nerves. I've never been one to really care about getting laid often, but shit, it has to happen every once in while.
I guess that's enough babbling for one night. Cheers.
