Well, sometimes no matter whether you have an idea for a blog post or not, life has other plans. Such is the case tonight. Of course, it could have something to do with the fact that my mom was on her Facebook page and then perusing her email inbox on my laptop, and then my brother wanted to see something on a different site...and now here I sit, with a solid idea for a blog post sitting patiently in my mind, and I know I can't write it. It's like sitting in a dingy motel room close to a major highway in L.A. You can tightly close the window, shut the blinds, scoot your chair all the way up to the crumbling desk or your back up against the headboard while your laptop steadily grows warmer on your legs...but yet, you're still the same atmosphere, and no matter how hard you try to crawl your way into your head with a few deliberate sentences and jabs at the smudged keys, that door isn't opening like a warped wooden door in its equally warped frame on a humidity-choked day.
So all you can do, then, is scribble a note on that door - legibally perferably - and come back later, hoping by the time you do that you'll be in a better atmosphere, an atmosphere that allows you to crawl inside your head more easily, like you suddenly shrink to a small child crawling into a bouncy house rather than an overzealous teeanger with more rolls of fat hanging off of their frame than all the jelly rolls in every New York bakery combined, and you can bounce around to your heart's content!
Well, before the metaphors become even stranger than the one just mentioned, let me end tonight's blog post. But first! I must write down two blog post titles for further reference before I forget. Of course, they won't make sense to you, and they might still not make sense to you when I write the blog posts attached to them, but then again, does anything ever make sense that comes from my head? Even when it's on paper?
Anyway, blog post title time! "Building houses without walls" and "A flickr of an obsession". :)
