Where's the Mayo?

OK so what little has been posted here has been mostly fluff. Long gone is the pretense of offering insightful analysis of the days events. When I started there were two basic categories for my posts, "this amuses me" and "this pisses me off." Lately it's been kind of "whatever."


Sorry.

Project "GET A JOB" takes up a lot of time as well as mental and emotional energy. I wish I had some great news to report on that subject. There are a couple of possibilities on the table but nothing concrete enough to talk about. I am excited that a couple of them don't involve moving.

I've managed to do a few projects to keep busy and have a couple of good possible projects in the maybe stage. It also seems that regardless of what I want, if I want to keep earning money I'm going to have to get better at web work. Of the projects I've done, two were videos, one was a flash piece for someone's web site, two were web pages. The three projects that may happen soon are all web sites.

Did I mention that I really don't want to do web sites for a living?

I did have fun doing this site for a candy shoppe: http://sweetteezlarchmont.com/. I built that one from scratch.

I have also been seriously considering the idea of possibly dabbling in fiction. I haven't done any fiction writing in about 15 years. I decided to seriously consider thinking about possibly trying after watching Lemonade. It made me think about what it was I wanted to do when I was young and invincible.

I haven't stopped paying attention to the world. I'm keeping an eye on the
latest shameless power grabs in Washington and how they are slowly taking away the last of our liberty.

Looking forward to the special election in Massachusetts tomorrow. I really hope Scott Brown can pull it off. Because when hear the expression Teddy Kennedy's seat the only thing I can think of is his passenger seat. If they manage to pass their healthcare takeover that's where we'll all be sitting.

I'm really annoyed by the tenor and volume of the right wing blogs' endless blather about the movie Avatar. I haven't seen the movie and until it's on cable some night when I can't sleep I probably won't. The thing is, so many bloggers are so worked up over the movies left wing message. So what. It's a movie. Go. Have overpriced popcorn. Enjoy the fantasy for a couple of hours. 

Get. Over. Yourselves. 

If you want there to be more conservative themed movies, make one. Finance one. Do something other than whine that the Hollywood left doesn't agree with you. You're a conservative. The Hollywood left is never going to agree with you. Deal with it.

Every day seems to bring some new evidence that the entire foundation of the Climate Change movement is a pile of stinking excrement. I'll file that under "this amuses me."

You know what? This was fun. I may have to do this more often.

Maybe you could get on with the Obama administration; but they seem to have plenty of fiction writers already.
