I'm Almost Two Score and Going Insane

Wed, 27 Feb 2008 22:18:57 GMT

I'm a writer.

I don't write much. I've only published two poems, and that was 15 years ago in college. I haven't completed a thought in written form in over seven years. I'm not a writer by any definition of the term, and yet . . . I am.

I'm a writer because I have a story to tell. No. I have many stories to tell. Stories that play in my mind like a multiplex, without walls. I see them all, at any given time, simultaneously. Fiction, non-fiction, poetry, science fiction, mystery, self-help, technical, cinematic. I see them all, and they're driving me insane.

Literally insane.

I want to scream. I want to walk away from my life and disappear into the populous tapestry of America. I want to go off the grid. I want to curl up in a ball, and hide from everyone and everything.

I want to blow my brains out. I want to die, and make it stop.

I want to be free.

I have no discipline for writing anymore. I'll have to develop that. I hold no mastery of the language like I did. Hopefully that will come back. I don't have the time to write. I'll have to force that.

I'm a writer who doesn't write. Either I can accept that, go insane, and develop my mother's taste for gun metal.

Or I can write.

Find Me Here:

Zune
My Zune Social Page. Not much here yet, it's still in beta.
YouTube
No, I haven't uploaded any videos, but I've subscribed to some cool providers. Check them out.
Shelfari
Another community where people can discuss books they've read. UI is a little better, offers Amazon links for books you've read, so you can make some side money. No Author pages. Trying to decide which one is better, GoodReads or Shelfari.
Pownce
Not quite sure why I'm here, other than it was partially developed by Kevin Rose and Leah Culver. It's kinda useful, and I see a future, but I don't do much here, yet, other than track some Internet Superstars.
Newsvine
MySpace
I'm back on MySpace, because everyone else is. Grrr. When will they learn?
Mahalo
Mahalo is the world's first human-powered search engine. It's actually a pretty cool site, and I'm starting to contribute to it.
Hey! Nielsen
Hey! Nielsen is more than just a new idea in opinions and social networking: it's a way for you to influence the TV and movies you watch, the music you listen to, and more... all while making a name for yourself.
GoodReads
A community where people can discuss the books they've read. This particular site also has Author pages so you can track some favorite authors.
FriendFeed
An almost comprehensive way of keeping track of what I do online, which isn't much.
Flixster
I created a Flixster account for my Facebook account. It's kinda nice, not sure how much I'll be on here though.
Flickr
I'm here, because everyone else is, but I'll never upload any photos here. If I ever upload photos to share with the world, they will be here on this blog.
Facebook
I'm on facebook, because everyone else is.
Digg
I've started using Digg, and I've picked up a few fans, not many. I like Digg, I'm also a fan of Diggnation.
Del.icio.us
I have a profile here, but don't do much with it. It's a Yahoo thing.
CNET
I love CNET, but the only reason I have a profile is to comment on articles, though I may start using to create gadget want lists.

Morning Reads

Slate
Where I go for opinion pieces. I've been reading them since their inception.

Honestly, I chose this magazine because of its relationship with MSNBC.

The most comprehensive news site I could find on the web. Truly, the site by which all other news sites are measured.
The Los Angeles Times
The west coast paper. 'Nuff said.
The Washington Post
A east coast paper. The most unbiased I could find, if they exist on the east coast.
USA Today
The National Paper.

The Metro Paper. A very good paper for this region.
Rushville Republican
The local paper, at least until I move out of this stinking shit hole.
