Ideas last about one week. And then i get a new one. Its like a subscription to a magazine i didn’t sign up for. I feel responsible to these ideas and feel i ought to do something with them. I’ve gotten as far as writing down the idea in its entirety along with any corresponding thoghts that arise in the following days. All this is captured on a legal pad, then transcribed in the evening to my google docs. And then it sits in google docs. I just saw them again today- (what i think are) brilliant concepts that i can’t quite close the door on, but have nothing else to shove in. An entire corridor of rooms half vacuumed. So i move on to the next one. It’s like i just need an editor. Someone who will say, “Great. Work on this again this week- give me five pages today or you don’t eat.”

I have pockets of lazy time thru the day. These can alternately be called sleepy times. It amounts to the same thing. They are like clockwork with me. These pockets are as follows:

So get this; our Metro Government spent $200k+ to give citizens the opportunity to vote today on two amendments to the Metro Charter. Because in economic down-times, that’s what you want to spend your money on. Shouldn’t we have voted on this before we voted on this? Read the rest of this entry »

This is a post about a knife and a piece of rope that does not end with a “frayed knot” punchline.
So first, the knife. Um, how about some context for the knife. The knife, as you would have found out by reading, is designed by Bear Grylls- who is found in the blogroll to the right-ish. Bear Grylls has become a hero of sorts for me, inspiring numerous ideas for television spin-offs like “Man Vs. Office” and “Man Vs. Neighborhood” (these are ideas only in my mind- for which, sadly, there is not an available link). His fear doesn’t keep him from tackling crazy obstacles, and it’s fun watching everything turn out okay in an hour’s time. Back to the knife. Read the rest of this entry »

I’ve been blogging at this site for nearly a year now. About six months into, it i decided to quit. Call it the grand experiment and a wrap. Leave town. Well, that didn’t happen. I just kept blogging. Blogging because people kept asking questions. Blogging because i could. Stealing precious time from other projects. Blogging not because i had to, but because i wanted to.
The guilt free version of blogging is much nicer. Much more interesting. I don’t have to apologise because i’m not living up to made-up expectations in my head. I don’t have to apologise because i’m not living up to others’ expectations (also made up in my head).
Guilt free blogging. Blogging lite. The twopointoh. As for me and my blog- we will post whenever we feel like.
There’s some kind of built-in duty to perform. Like with journaling- and half the entries begin with an admission of having not journaled in a while, as if there isn’t a date at the top of the page to indicate it. Confession of imagined sins; what sort of soul is that good for? I like the guiltless version quite a bit better.
Blogging, at its worst, is a trumped-up discipline. A set up for failure. A lesson learned that i should have already had down. At best… a corner table with a friend who has lots of cool friends. Praps a macchiato, too… it implies a fine conversation and time well spent. One shares ideas one has had and leaves with ones one hadn’t had before. But that’s a little cliche, isn’t it?
