I'm
getting close to 3000 published posts to this blog which kind of
amazes me. Two things stand out most in my mind one is that I been
added for at least 3000 days (which actually is longer because I know
I've lost a year or two somewhere along the line, it seems to me) and
probably even more important that I thought of that many items to
write about. Sometimes I get a little lazy and my blog ends up More
of a journal entry as a blog posting. You know where I just run down
and enumerate everything I've done that day – – sort of like
yesterday's post. Sometimes, I get worried that I'm going to dry up
and not have anything to write about. I doubt if I would characterize
this as “writers block” but something like that not been able to
come up with “new” material. I remember when I first started out
doing blogs house working at the State and would take a few minutes
every day to do the blog before I started out on my regular work
agenda. I told people this was my way of getting warmed up for the
day and they bought it. It seems I'm, for the most part, more fresh
in the morning and topics seem to come easier to me or maybe it's
that was just because I was young in my mind and/brain was more
elastic press now I'm sure it's very plastic. But recently, I've been
doing this technique of if I wake during the night or early morning
before I get up and I'm still thinking about things and even
remembering things of my dream state I have to recognize decent
material to blog about. My problem is trying to anchor this idea as a
memory think I'll on later. I have to write it down to make it
viable. I have found that since I keep a cell phone close to my bed
for emergencies that I can just dictate a few sentences often in the
return to those sentences during the day for a full blog entry. This
works most of the time.
Last
night/early this morning around 3 AM I woke and had a great idea and
not so great idea. I was sleepy and I was tired, is that redundant?
Anyway, I didn't write the first idea down. I kept going over over
and over in my mind trying to build a memory that I could latch onto
later on. Somewhere deep down I knew the second that I became more
conscious and didn't write this down I would lose it entirely. I lost
it. The second thought I had was coming out of the dream and I heard
the strands of the Bon Jovi classic “you gave love a bad name”.
However instead of love my brain was focused on the term pizza…
“You give pizza a bad name”. For some reason this it seemed
hilarious to me in my early morning stupor as I reached over and
grabbed my cell phone and dictated the phraseology. I was so
intrigued that I even pulled up the song by Bon Jovi and played
through before going back to sleep. I was not overly fond of Bon Jovi
are their music but I have to admit I often found myself quietly
rocking out the major pieces of their music. My sister-in-law,
Sheelan, (if you go to the search section at the front of the blogHer
name you will see a fairly decent micro-biography of my sweet sister
In law's, She She. SheShe loved Bon Jovi And I don't know a student
on purpose but her hair looked just like the musicians I still miss
Sheelan Terribly…
