riiiiiight

yeah - so i have this blog and i never write in it. here's the deal: i love to write. i really really do. i never thought i'd be interested in fiction, but i took a writing class at the loft and really got some ideas flowing. but i haven't sat at my desk for some time now. usually i imagine that i'll write a book like high tide in tucson or one of david sedaris' books so i am always jotting down ideas and typing up little quips. what i SHOULD be doing is typing them in here. but ya see....the thing is....i hate sitting in front of a computer at home. sure i surf the web, look up recipes and check facebook a few nights/week...but holy crimony. i sit in front of this sterilizer (two under my desk actually. and about to be three if steve can't find my fucking buildmachine a different home) all day. i get up once in awhile to get some tea of scrounge in the fridge for my yogurt...but for the most part i am typing, surfing, clicking and staring at a monitor all day long. over it. i get home and i'd rather be in the garden, tromping around outside, filling birdfeeders and whatnot. or just inside stuff that doesn't include sitting at this thing all evening too.

i read somewhere that it was pretty obvious in bladerunner that computers were over with. they served their purpose and had moved into small tools so they were no long prominent. that day will be interesting.

a dude i know wants one thing. he thinks there should be one thing that does it all. plays his cds, projects movies onto his wall, tells him the rules to his favorite card game, stores his photos etc. etc. and so on and so forth. i like it. i say go for it bill gates. but he never would. there is $ in lots of things that break quickly. there's no money in a one thing that costs a lot. people get em, they last, no turnaround.

everything comes back to the consumer, doesn't it. sad.

anyway, i missed april - but i'll get better. i actually have a few drafts that never make the PUBLISH. i'll look into them and if they are worthy, i'll get em up asap. over and out. time to pack for our trip to grand rapids. i love it up there. no computers and i am pretty sure my cell phone doesn't work. hopefully.
