Okay…

Every now and then, life tends to throw even the best of us a killer curve ball that we just can’t handle. And I have definitely had my fair share over the past few months. I’m not going to go into details about all of the %#&@$! I’ve been wading through. (it’s boring and I’m not really up for typing all of it. If you’re interested in all of that, read my last entry) But the worst thing that has happened to me in the history of horrible shit happening to me is the fact that I have WRITER’S BLOCK!!! AAAAAAAAARRGGHH!!!!! I’m a lot of things (I’m an athlete, I’m a man, I’m a womanizer, I’m a lier, I’ve been known to be a bit of a %#&@$! on ocassions, I’m a metrosexual (if you don’t know what that is, just ask), I’m an asshole and the list goes on and on and on and on…) but the one thing that I am that I am most proud of is being a poet. Poetry is the one thing in my life that I just knew could never be taken away from me. I felt that everything else was kinda like a fad ya know, something I was just doing because it suited me at the time. But poetry, was gonna always be me. I had dreams of being a 75 year old man, sitting in a rocking chair, dropping sick verses on my grandkids in between catnaps. But now, I’m halfway scared that I lost my “voice.” Maybe I said that wrong. I still know that I can sit down and set a piece a paper on fire if I get it flowing, but the problem is getting started. I kinda feel like a kid who fell off his bike a few too many times and decided not ride it for a while. I know I can still do it, but I’m not sure how to go about getting started.

Now…here I am, sitting at my computer, looking at a blank MS Word screen. And I’m pretty much hating it! So, I’m here to lay myself upon the mercy of anybody who takes the time to read this drawn out rant. Throw me some topics! And anything I write will get posted in this blog with a special shout out to whomever suggested what I wrote about. Let’s try to stay away from the obvious ones (love, religion, and politics). I appreciate it greatly. One love…
