Coffee Activates A Night Owl


Day Two ~ learning a little more about blogspot. This reminds me of the time I had a GDI website that I basically did nothing with ~ other than play with the tools. I let it go in the quest for a more simplistic lifestyle ~ meaning, one less project to manage.

However, I've started to feel the fever to write again and document some of the thoughts and reflections that go through my head. Why keep these thoughts to myself...? Someone out there may be as "out-there" as I am. I should let them know what corner of the universe I'm in. Actually, whenever I've joined a community of creative writers, I know I'm not alone. In general, creative writers are a unique breed of artists.

So, being the creative mind that I am, I just have to experiment with the tools I have to play with ~ like fonts and colors and uploaded images and whatever... So, if you're looking for consistency here, you may be disappointed, but I can promise to be consistently inconsistent just to keep things interesting.

I don't know why I'm still up at this hour... I take that back ~ yes, I do... I took my 15-year-old daughter to a 9:50 PM movie showing at a local cinema last night. Because she often complains about how I fall asleep even during action movies, I purposely drank a cup of coffee to stay awake. Now, hours after returning home, she's sound asleep in bed, while I'm hard-wired for brain activity that I decided to put to good (or useless) use here.

I'm going to wrap this up for now. Being naturally verbose, I am making a commitment to myself to keep these blogs under 1000 words. I think I'll honor that commitment starting now... And starting tomorrow, I may sound less like a journal entry and actually have something meaningful to say. I usually object when my boyfriend calls me "Night Owl," but I'm afraid I'll have to agree with him this time.

I Thunk It And Done It

Well, I thunk it, and I went and done it... I said I needed to start writing again, and I thought to myself, why not a blog...? Not exactly original for a JOriginal Muse, but that's probably why it took me so long to decide to blog again.

Because of the fact that there are so many bloggers out there in this over-populated blogosphere, I wasn't sure anyone would move over to make room for one more. I finally had to embrace the idea that maybe I'm not on any mission to get any message across to any lost soul in any God-forsaken land for any particular reason to write.

I'm doing this because it feels good to see my own expressive self imprint itself on an inivisible universe composed of binary codes and all kinds of technical names I'll never master. Maybe I write just for the sheer pleasure of seeing words take shape and become whole concrete ideas made of abstract blocks made of intangible whims.

Anyhow, here I am on Day One of my new blog spot, with nothing particularly noteworthy to share. I still have some homework to do ~ like learning to navigate the features available to us on this blog site.

I'll check in again tomorrow ~ or whenever... I don't want to make promises I may not deliver, only to have something looming over me until I do what I said I'd do.
