Amiwrite?!

Sitting  in the office before work pushing myself to write something, because I’ve been so horrible with being consistent. And it’s not like this reality is anything new, on the contrary, it’s been something I’ve been battling for years. It’s this thing I like to call “the inability to consistently write about pretty much anything for my Tumblr blog or… ya know insert public writing avenue.” Musing here, I wonder what it is that keeps me from into exercising the one thing that has continuously brought me peace of mind at times and enraged me the next. It’s something that constantly stirs up emotions in me be it good or bad, but it’s something I turn to no matter how I’m feeling. Unless it’s lazy, then all bets are off. However, I find myself barely mustering enough energy to write anything to share on the internet, but then I remember, WTF cares?! 

My terror behind sharing my thoughts on the internet stems from the numerous trolls that live in the bowls of user comments and reddit. It dwells in the fingertips of a-holes and cowards. Though, it also lurks in my own mind, tucked away in the bed of insecurity that has burrowed so deep within in me I sometimes forget its existence and blame my lethargy on the weather. 

Well, I’m tired of making these empty grandiose claims of being more consistent and writing more, because my words mean nothing. Action. Action is everything. I’m slowly figuring out that is the case across all aspects of my life and it’s the simplest yet the hardest concept to grasp. I do a lot of talk. I’m even good at convincing myself that my words are true, which makes it very difficult to improve since I keep telling myself I already have. So, no more being annoyingly untruthful and saying things that ultimately mean nothing because I need to be more impeccable with my words and more actionable with my life. Ha. We’ll see, right?

Right.

Sigh.

Woody & Kristen & Coldplay

Woody Allen is talented, but are we forgetting his moral indiscretions? It’s funny because everyone excuses how horrible he is because he’s a frekkin genius. Dammit, he is. Despite how VERY strongly I feel about the deplorable decisions he’s made in his personal life, there’s no denying the dude knows how to weave a story, he knows characters, and he genuinely thinks about what he does, but again, still a gross, gross human being.  It’s funny seeing how much of himself he puts into his movies, but he’s never satisfied. Huh. But they’re still incredible And he’s still disgusting.

Anyway, about Kristen Stewart. Wow. Couldn’t be less irritated that this was all over the internet today haha. Everyone seemed to be making a mockery of the situation which was really entertaining, but yikes. No fun having your life posted everywhere. Cannot imagine going through something like that and having not just your friends know, but people you’ll probably never meet putting their moral noses in your business. I’m sure she’ll be fine. She’ll go off on a vacation for a few weeks with or without her vampire lover and come back brand new. 

That just happened. Man, I still love them ha. Ah, man. Just lost friends.

-_-

Rambling

After months of deliberation I have decided that MAYBE (that’s a strong maybe as you can tell by the all-caps) to have an all text post on my tumblr. Know that as I type this my skin is crawling in disagreement. Yeah, so I’m a little ambivalent… Ok, so I loath the thought. My idea of Tumblr is much like my idea of a friend who you only talk to about certain topics, because, let’s face it, you don’t really care about their opinion on anything else. Tumblr is for pictures, gifs, fun art pieces people create and/or discover, not for long-winded articles about nothing (my specialty). I imagine Tumblr’s face glazing over in horror as I click on the text icon and word after word appears in the “Post” box below the title. Are you seriously doing this right now, Tumblr asks in annoyance. Yeah, it’s really happening right now, I say, even though we both know it’s a mistake. So, I will spare you, Tumblr, from writing any more than this, not only because I am a great friend, but also because I can’t think of anything else to say… 

With that said… er written…

X-men with googly eyes. Classic.
