"If you want to be a cartoonist, draw everyday."- Charles Schultz

I read this quote the other day. Sometimes the simple quotes can have the most impact. Efficient but effective.
I've had an extremely bad case of writer's block and I grown so accustom to making excuses for it. How could i even write a verse, let alone a blog, when i nitpick meticulously at the details in a simple tweet or facebook status update...

my mind is funny.

When a thought occurs and jumps up into my head randomly, albeit humorous or dark (or humorously dark), i try to clickety-clack my big thumbs over the buttons of my qwerty as fast as i can. Minutes may pass before that last little button is clicked... and then i'll go off and edit it again... THEN i'd finally hit the 'send' button that shoots it off into the e-verse. there is a problem with that though. I wasted moments by spending the time thinking about how i was going to document the moment later.
nothing is worse that not allowing yourself to be in the moment.

Then i thought about it. I've been "mirco-blogging" through twitter and facebook for all of last year. I don't have to think of stuff to write about if i've got writers block. i should pick one of my old updates and expand on what i was thinking at the time. it'd do two things. i'll be able to elaborate on some details behind the digital bytes and bits of my mind... AND ...i'd cure the wrenching blues of my writer's block. i'd take the advice from Charles Schulz...but tweak it a tad. instead of using the pen to create cartoons, i'll use keyboard keys to open doors with my words (or other peoples words if i'm quoting).

with that said (or written (or typed))... this is the first blog in a while that will give you glimpses behind the curtain. it'll recount random details of the past year, and also stories of future tweets too. hop on the caboose of my (often derailed) mental train of thought. hold on, sucka. choo-choo.
