Entry 11

Trick or teating ssems to be a strange endeavour. Kids all dress up and various, mostly scary characters and knock on strangers doors. They then all proclaim, " Trick or Treat." Treat, meaning they are asking for candy, chocolate or what now. Here's a question, when was the last time a kid pulled off a Trick? We will exclude throwing eggs at the door.

Entry 10

I like Anime. Japanese anime has always been pretty interesting, whether it is due to the art, story or the mere execution. But I get bored when the more action oriented ones appear to go all " Dragonball Z" on everything. It's when the characters appear to progress in powers just like Son Goku et al. The main character begins to gopinto " Super Saiyan mode. " all of a sudden.

Entry 9

I don't like taking photographs of myself. First of all, I never seem to photograph well. I always feel that I look like I'm upset. Other than that I can ever really smile when I have my picture taken. It's always a half smile. I only have two pics where I know I am truly smiling. I keep them still, even if they remind me of a sadder event. But I'll keep it, if just to remember happier times.

Entry 8

"Moves like Jagger" is a weird song. Jagger was never a great dancer. He was pretty much more about prancing around like a buffoon. Sure he was s great vocalist for his band, but still, moves? Highly debateable.

Entry 7

South Park. Is it wrong to enjoy watching something so crude, rude and politically incorrect and yet enjoy it more than most documentaries? I think it's because it dares to say what we are thinking inside. Or maybe it's just that Cartman is the most foul mouthed kid to ever be created for media. Music isn't too bad either.

Entry 6

I love eating curry. The whole family does. It comes from having an Indian family living next to us growing up. Eating Indian food was as natural as having cereal. Whenever our friends mom would make chapatti we would run intp the house and she would be ready to stuff us full. Good times.

Entry 5

I hate ironing. It is always a chore. I mean, I'm good at it, but that doesn't mean I have to like it. I used get burns all the time when I was a kid, through no fault of my own. Ever try ironing clothes with a coal fed flat iron? It weighs a ton and it is most unweildly. Average burn marks? Five. An that's not even on the clothes.

Entry 4

Fell asleep on the keyboard. This happens all to often. Am I trying way too hard? Or not enough? I remember writing my thesis in university. I fell asleep while typing our draft. I woke up to see the screen full of "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." How fitting.

Entry 3.

Watched "Music and Lyrics" last night. It feels wierd that I actually got all the 80's in jokes. The character Hugh Grant plays,  "Alex Fletcher," embodies both the has-been and never-was celebrity. Which begs the question, what would you rather be, the has-been who can only reflect on past glories or the never-was who eternally shines of unfulfilled potential? One of those has fallen, crashing down after having their single moment of glory. The other will always look like they are about to take off... except they never leave the ground.

To flap or fall?

Entry 2

An auspiscious start. This gets written but not posted. Trying to shake such bad habits is something that will take time. Unfortunately, time is a luxury I cannot afford. Truth be told I have only worked best when my back is to the wall, trying to overcome an obstacle. But are things only difficult because I make it so? Am I my own worse enemy? If so, there can never be true victory. Because I win and lose at the same time. Making castles out of sand.

Entry 1

The goal is simple. One paragraph each day. No specifics, no gimmicks. This will be a white board of daily thoughts, limited with only the confines of a single paragraph. The purpose? Pure exercise and training of my mind to compose regularly. It has been too long. But if writing makes me happy, then as my dear friend says, " Happiness like exercise needs constant work. Otherwise it's back to love handles and heart attacks.
