Myself Getting The Best Of Me, Where Was I

I've got multiple balls in the air right now and not really in the mood to wow you with my stinging wit and deep insights. So enjoy these couple of pages from my sketch pad.

Who am I kidding? I'm the only one reading this. I don't get the impression, hell evidence, that anyone else is reading my blog. It is like what I do most of the time when I'm by myself...I talk and carry on elaborate conversations...just with me. That's what this blog has become, just more of me talking to myself. I see so many other blogs out there that have

engaged followers. One's that comment and add to the blogger's dialog. A lot of the comments that have been posted on my blog are posted by me.

So I guess if I don't want to talk to myself or if myself doesn't want to hear from me, it is up to me to Shut the Fuck UP!!!!
Myself starts whispering in the back of my head, "then just shut up."
"Okay, Okay...I hear you loud and clear. It's not like I have nothing to do!", responds Me.
Myself barks back, "THEN STOP TYPING!! JUST STOP!"
"It's like I can't. I have to respond, I can't let Myself have the last word.", says Me
"Idiot!", retorts Myself, "Your just a sad little idiot."
"Well Fuck you too, you self absorbed, control freak!!", Me shouts as he clicks save and publishes the blog post.

Where the hell was I during all this?

First Sighting

By this point in my life I’d flown enough to have seen the world through a wider lens than afforded on a car trip. I’d seen the tree tops, fields and mountains from an airplane window, but flying to an island, looking out the window and seeing effectively what looked like nothing was an eye opening experience. Water is pretty featureless from 35,000 feet. Just black as far in all directions as you can see. It really drove home the reality of how huge the ocean is, and the world by extension and how small we are in comparison. There is a lot to see out there and I was seeing a small bit of it for the first time. After five hours of the featureless, blackness our destination appeared as a disruption to the nothingness on the horizon. The earth started to poke its rocky, tree covered dermis forth from the water. The black water started to turn to dark blue giving away to ever lighter hues of blue. The outline of the land looked like the pip...

Agnes Martin, Artist? That is such BULLSHIT!

I didn't have any intent to blog today. Then I saw the GOOGLE doodle for today, a set of vertical colored stripes. Since I use several computers, but only one do I stay logged in on my Google account I figured the other computers were just not showing the image correctly. This seems to have been the case in the past when these Google doodles have animation. I went to my computer logged into Google, but no movement when I moved my mouse over the image. So I clicked on the image. This led me to all the associated links and discussions of what this doodle was celebrating Agnes Martin. This is some of the first text I read: Agnes Bernice Martin was a Canadian-American abstract painter, often referred to as a minimalist; Martin considered herself an abstract expressionist. She was awarded a National Medal of Arts from the National Endowment for the Arts in 1998" from Wikipedia. I continued to look at more images. It seems all this women painte...

Exercising Obsessed Mom Can't Handle The Truth

One of my Facebook "friends" started posting her daily workout status. She established earlier on that she was going to challenge herself to do some workout every day for 30 days in a row. The entire month of November. I followed these post and noticed there were some who would comment the expected comments, "way to go", "keep it up", "whew, you are making me tired"...all well deserved, but no one was giving her the kind of comments that might inspire her to push harder, like: "is that all you got?", "hmm, only 10 miles", "come on get back in the gym and off FB!" There did come a day when she posted she was not able to workout due to some conflict. And still no real comments to motivate her. This post got me to thinking, what was the intent behind her post? Was it to keep herself on track. Was it to publicly "brag" or "show off" (felt that was unlikely). Was it hoped to receive some accou...
