The well has been very dry, my friends. A couple months and a couple weeks dry. Any creative person can attest, sometimes you have to back off and live life. In blog terms locutionl has died and is now climbing back from time lapse purgatory...thank you to any who follow, and I hope the hiatus can be repaired.
I started to write on a couple things over the last month and a couple weeks...but alas, it was shit, and ultimately a mechanical response to the urgency a blog can incite, and that's bad. I don't ever want to go through the motions when it comes to writing, but I don't want to disappoint either. So here we are.
Part of the problem has been that I am not writing what I know completely...therefore I'm going to start a demi-blog (part journal part blog) to give a release to my real day job...more on that in the next entry.
The title of my comeback blog as it were, refers to my life in general. Well, the lack there of in generalities. There are so many loose ends right now...where's my next rent money coming from, where's the writing going, who's really in my corner, am a a gas bag or a valid voice of my generation? Is all the sacrifice effing worth it?
If I dare lumping all my experiences into a manageable stress wad of anecdote, there's generally (there's that word again) a consistent exception to the rule. "One day at a time" they say. Yeah, but what do you do for said 24 hours when there's nothing to do but wonder what your doing? "I get by with a little help from my friends" but if you have none in close proximity, how do they get you by and vice versa? "Believe and you shall receive" but when results are few and far between, how do you keep vigilant enough to change the tide?
I'm a positive person and I stand by all of those phrases I just listed...but not when it's in a blanket that covers all the telling details. "Case by case basis" is the new anecdote I adhere to the most. Especially in matters of the heart and all the crazy mess that comes along with it, you have to examine what it REALLY is and honestly try to fix it. Don't toss out a quick fix quote that really doesn't touch the real problem...use them if you've wrangled with the real issues and have no other avenue. They're most effective that way.
And when all else fails...Don't worry, be happy because, like attracts like. All's well that ends well.

Even when you didn't have alot to say...you said alot. I would, really, rather read nothing than have someone blowing smoke or even worse writing to hear themselves write..ya know? One just needs to watch a couple hours of TV commercials, a talking head, or most movies, lately, to be accosted by all the drivel and swill that is out there...all the time aimed at mature adults don't you know....thanks for being honest. And, I agree with your adages, especially "like attracts like"...here I am.
