Two-Year-Old Dog Syndrome and the Sky is Falling

As you’ve probably noticed, I’ve had absolutely no direction in my writing for some time now. My posts have jumped around from subject to subject, and they are generally longer than even I would even want to read myself—and it’s even about me. You’ve also probably noticed that I whine. A lot. About everything. This is why my most commonly used tag is “general griping.” I had to make said tag when I realized that I actually had a couple of posts that didn’t fall under the same moaners-not-so-anonymous category. As to the first problem…this probably isn’t going to change. What you read is what is whooshing around my little brain, and organization isn’t my forte by any stretch of the imagination. For the second, I really do intend to at least attempt to pull myself out of this slump of extreme pessimism that has engulfed three fourths of my life. (As I side note, I may hold the record for having been the youngest self-declared pessimist. I’m sure that no one keeps track of things like that, so it’s probably a pretty safe bet.)

My only other note is that any creativity I have is being channeled into some little short story/poetic pieces that I like to write a start to but will never ever finish plotting and what to title this blog post, since—once again—it’s a mash up…and so is the title. I think I need more distracting photos…

"Blue Moon"--one of my favorite songs of all time--was playing at work this morning, pretty much making my day. Here's lookin' at you, Kid!


For some reason, this reminds me of Dean Martin's "Mambo Italiano"



Then I came home and put on Jack Johnson's album "In Between Dreams," which is brilliant.
