It was Shisho who correlated the economy with the lack of posts among the lot of us. Has anxiety robbed us of our voices? Have we turned to sheeps?

Again I should put mire effort into serious posts. As it stands I fail to impress myself. I need my OCD streak to work for me and get postings on the page.

Interesting: the older I get the less I worry about what others think.

I should have prayed more, as I went to work today with a migraine. Well thank the Lord that the pain went away, and the weekend refreshed me!

I was very stressed and tired. I felt as if I was gonna run down and fall apart from being so busy and needing more sleep. Classes and work have me hopping like mad.

Then the weekend came. I got up late and I simply watched movies and rested my nerves. Didn’t spend any heavy time thinking about much, which of course, meant while I was lying down, a lot of ideas came to me.

So I feel renewed and hope that I can keep the energy I have from the weekend, until I get another weekend to rest.

Q & M

Migraine notwithstanding, Today’s topic is “questions and methodologies.” I find myself asking “what questions do I want answered today?” Now this may seem like a bother, but as a writer I often write on impulse. I’m answering questions I am not fully conscious of. These answers come fourth, but nowhere do I think about where they come from.

Well now I wonder out loud about what I am asking, and how does this affect what I write. Let me start with both my nonfiction and fiction material changes at this point. Why am I writing this blog? What is its purpose in the past and now?

The answers could stun me.

The New Academic Adventure

It’s been a hectic week, as classes begun, and I was busy, busy, busy! Kids from all over needed help, and I was there to lend a hand. It’s what I do. It’s who I am! I was worried about my stress levels going up, and they did, but I’ve been in tougher situations before. I’ve dealt with them in a professional manner. I know I can do the same here.

I’ve taken my days off with the proper attitude of relaxing. Stress reduces itself so well. Things fall into place. I am so feeling good. Had Chinese last night. Now way I was cooking. LOL.

Watched a few movies. Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2, Lord of the Rings The Two Towers, Hellboy II: The Golden Army, and a few episodes of Teen Titans.

Classes for me also began. It’s not hectic yet, but I’ve got two 15-page papers to deliver. I know I’m gonna be burning the midnight oil on several days. I have to get myself organized or I face the stress of class and work taking over. It’s all about self-control.

Outside right now enjoying some fresh air. Gotta go open the windows and let some air inside.

Should have wrote more of a blog entry. I have been most lazy. I shall endeavor to write something worth posting. Today I'm loafing on my couch.

I drank water this morning. Not the usual sugar based goodness I crave. Need to write more blog posts. Hope day stays ok.

Stomach growls. Eyes feel heavy. Want to sleep. Need to stay up. Options most annoying.

Does one write to be liked and popular, or does one feel express ideas through words that may not fit the norm.

I have 15 mins before I pick up my new glasses. Very excited. Still waiting for my contacts to arrive.

Gone to the eye doctor for a new pair of glasses. Hadn't worn glasses since mid 2005. I intended to keep it that way but eye allergies make contacts a pain.

Getting my screenplay rewrites on!

Charleston looks nice. We are supposed to ha e a cookout today. I marinated steaks and chicken. We'll see how that goes.

Wrote and did research yesterday. Started a review for the CINEs blog but kept having to stop to help others. Decided on Thai food for lunch.

Having lunch. Wanted to take something from home but I wake up too late to get things done. Last minute cramps my style. Gotta improve my productive time.
