The Pres is Here.
Obama won the election. Which I suppose by now is common knowledge and not in any way breaking news.
I guess for one time that I can remember hope and optimism has won out over fear and dishonesty. And I don't have to say that it, but that is a good thing.
Do I think that Barak Obama is some kind of miracle worker who will bring forth a new age of enlightenment in the U.S.? No. But hopefully his election will make signal a shift toward a more positive time. At least until the next election cycle starts or the G.O.P starts to poo all over anything innovative that the new administration would like to enact. But that is still a couple of months from now. So for now let positivity reign.
Let's see, what else has been going on. The economy is still in the toilet. And honestly I don't care about it enough to write about. This isn't some kind of political blog or whatever. I just write about what comes to mind. The problem is nothing has been coming to mind.
I haven't gotten any grand flashes on inspiration. Or even better, Any grand flashes of irrational anger. that is where I usually find something that I can write about. When I get pissed off I get wordy. I just haven't been that pissed off lately. Isn't that sad? My anger is alluding me.
Maybe I should drink? Lots of writes used the alcohol to help with the writing. Some used other drugs. Is the drug and alcohol use a sign of genius or is it a symptom of pain? Maybe pain inspires and the drugs just let you deal with the pain enough to get the words onto paper?
I don't believe that the booze (and or drugs but I will just mention the booze) makes you better creatively. If that was the case I have relatives who should have been authors, and every AA meeting would turn into a freaking poetry slam.
Or I could be just looking for a reason to be come a raging alcoholic? I mean why not? It would add a bit of character to me wouldn't it? Some irrational outbursts. Maybe a bout or two of public indecency? I have never actually been in a bar fight and from all the TV and wild west shows that I have seen it seems like a pretty fun time. Not to mention the possible vomiting and and hangovers that I am missing. I think I may have my New Year's resolution. Laterzzz...
