Well, Char has returned from her Grandma's funeral, and it's great to have her back.
Looking at some of the things I've been writing, I realize that this has already started to turn into a "dear diary" sorta blog, and that was never my intent. So today, I think I'll talk about why I want to get back into a weekly (if not daily) writing habit.
Creativity is a very important part of who I am, weither it be making up jokes on the spot, thinking outside the box on the job, speculating as to the future plot twists of my favorite shows, animating things in flash, working on my website, or just weaving a good short story. A month or so ago, I realized it had been AGES since I last put fingers to keyboard in any meaningful fashion.
Never a good thing.
Anyway, so I decided that having this blog would give me an excuse to write on a more regular basis, which is true enough, but I find myself more often enough stuck for a topic to write on. I subscribe to writer's digest's "prompt of the day" but more often than not, it turns out to be something like "go out and buy a book about writing" like that'll get me to write. The things I do think of to write about tend to come out like this entry, all maudlin and such. I think the reason for this is that a typical entry for me isn't really long enough for me to relax and get funny.
Also not a good thing, especially if you actually read this blog on a regular basis. Humor is sometimes a harsh mistress.
What is a humble-yet-longing-to-be-a-pop-culture-icon guy like me supposed to do to fill space on his blog?
Obviously, Run for president.
So, my friends, what you will see here on days that I can't think of what to write is how I feel on the issues, and maybe just a skootch of my plan for a better America. (Not to be confused with my plan for world domination, or my plan to send out for pizza.)
See what I mean? The longer the entry, the funnier I get.
Continuing on the point of this post... A few weeks ago, I went to a movie with some friends, and it was suggested that I should run for president, accompanied by the resounding cheer of aproval from everyone within earshot. Of course, that could have been for the "baby geniuses 2" trailer. (See...This the funny, people!) Anyway, I figure a failed presidential run would look great on my resume, and maybe even make a cool reality show, so I have made up my mind to do it. My peeps have spoken, and they say "Rob for prez". Of course they could have been saying "send Rob for pretzels", but why should I let that stop me?
More to come....
