What Are You Doing?

Purging again. I'm quite literally killing my darlings, as I've ripped out all my written work (both stories and poetry) and thrown it away! I did take photos of the best pieces first though. Now I have 3 books full of blank pages to donate to charity.

 

Try watching the first 8 or so games, I think they were some of the best the sport had to offer.

I lost interest in them when they started becoming Blunder Bowls. After some expansions, there was a period where the teams had to work so hard just to get into the running that they were very tired by the time the actual SB took place. That made the game less than interesting.

 

Sanders sounds familar. And spot on expression about Edelman. He does show pumpd up behavior after a run, but it seems to me it's about the enjoyment of the run and not any arrogant "in your face" attitude towards the opposing players.

I watched a doco vid of LI...

Spoiler: link

...6 players wired for sound, Edelman one of them. Now more endeared to him as he showed innocent child-like excitement about a paticular catch, chatting with the opposing players about it waiting for the vid review, who also showed the same kind of wonderful attitude.

 

If only I could have access to all games, regular season, playoff and SBs. There's no more full games to be found on YT. I have three more saved of regular seasons, but have yet to do more searching to find any more. I'd like to watch all games from day one. I did notice a difference in style and atmosphere between SBs 20 era and todays.

 

still not over the USA Women's soccer team winning the World Cup

 

Why?
I don't get the hype behind the sports in general, but then again,
there are a lot of things that I don't get about playing a game and
making a ton of money for it in general. Like most things, it is more
fun to actually play, than sit and watch someone else have all the fun.

 

Except for the sports that can't be done at the casual hobbyist level.

Like pole vaulting

ETA: I once beat a Ferrari in a drag race. I was driving a 77 Dodge Maxivan.

Spoiler

The outcome prolly would have been different if he'd known I was racing him.

 

Only drag race I accept is the kind with drag queens!

And speaking of which - what I'm doing is waiting for Lost to get ready so we can watch next drag race episode. They finally got the first seasons back on Netflix. I introduced Lost to the third season and by the time he was sold they had removed the early seasons.

 

Running for pink slips?

 

I once lost a race to a Ferrari. It was my 600hp 77 Z28 (800 with the NOx) against, of all people, Walter Payton in a red Ferrari 308GTBS. I had him off the line, but he caught up fast enough.

 

Between laundry loads I’m fixing a rotted step on the back deck.

 

Anita Mäkelä from Vilppula, Finland... She was already racing in 1987.

I think she is the queen of European drag racing. So you could call her a drag queen.

3.84s.

 

Finally shook off the Procrastination Monster™ and worked on my WIP. It's finally in the 1k threshold, which ain't much in the grand scheme of things, but just seeing that number makes me want to write more, y'know?

 

I do believe that I would like a look through a window to your mind so I can see how you get inspired by that or any number. I've been stuck trying to decide what should come next for my WIP. Anyway, inspiration from a number or any source would help my cause.

 

Having just posted that I need inspiration I just remembered that I got some compliments that should inspire me.

A CNA here just read a couple of pieces of my flash fiction. Before she read it she chatted with me a bit and after I said that I'm a wannabe writer she told me that I'm more than a wannabe. She liked them both. I'm now wondering if I should submit them on these forums for critiquing, that would likely help me clean them up and make them truly ready to submit for publication. Hell, I might even be told of an online mag that I could submit them to.

Note: For those who haven't read much or any of my posts, I'm in a rehab place now waiting for an opening at an ALF after having come back most of the way from a muscle weakness problem. For those who do know of my recent history I just made it past another 'milestone' in my recovery, I managed to stand from a lower sitting position than I have been able to get up from in a while. This means that I don't need a booster seat or help when done with a certain matter of personal hygiene. I hope that wasn't too graphic.

 

Just got done watching Prisoners (2013), pretty intense
flick, and kinda spooky for a thriller. If you like that type of
film you should check it out, it is really well done and paced.

 

Perusing the ins and outs of joining the Freemasons.
Not because I'm interested in it or particularly care,
I just feel like it would be fun to join with reckless detachment.

(certainly not because I'm determined to get to the bottom of the Lizard People, I'M NOT CRAZY YOU'RE CRAZY)

 

Did you mean that as a sig line? If so there is a way to get it to become part of the post automatically.

 

I'm somewhere between developing an idea for a possible novel... and panicking about getting a job in a new country where things seems a lot different from home.

Also trying to figure out how impossible it would be to reinvent myself to be a secure and outgoing person in my "next life". Or am I stuck being a anxiety ridden nerve wreak that is scared of everything? Fake it til I make it, maybe?

 

Just remember, when you reinvent yourself online you don't have any of the usual limits just the ones imposed by either you or the hardware that you sit behind when you are actively online.

 

I don't have to reinvent myself online. I need to reinvent myself in real life where who am I actually matters.

 

Have a headache. Today is beautiful outside, but my head disagrees with me and keeps aching. Ah well, I'll be going out today after breakfast anyway. Even though I just got back from a trip, the urge to go on another is still here, so lets see how far I'll drive today.

Have a good summer, people.
