"You left a void in my life" - Samantha, Synecdoche, New York
"If you come back and blog again, I'll give you 300 million USD" - Sarah, Gotham City
"The country has lost it's way -we need you back" - She Ple, Texas
"Imagine smokin' weed in the streets without cops harassin'" - Nasir Jones, QB
This is why I'm back. I received tens of thousands of emails over the last few months - and I saw that this blog wasn't about me. It was about giving people nothing less than a reason to live. There's not much else great going on out there and the data shows that crime and overall restlessness increased 31.7% since I last posted. I read a book one time that said "come forth and spread what you have - adding where he adds most and not subtracting where there is nothing to add." So I'm back wearing the 45.
So let me begin with a subject that really has been appealing to me recently. That of routine. Also routines. For example:
"It's Saturday morning, so it's time for me to go get a coffee from Sam's Coffee Shop and read the funnies"
or
"Good thing it's Tuesday night, because that means I need to go pickup some more bread."
or
"I'm looking forward to getting out of work on Thursday because I always go to the pet store and see what new strays Mildred has found."
These types of things.
They provide purpose and minimize idleness that leads to deep thought on issues of any sort - most particularly towards those that involve introspection and potential paths of dissapointment on life's current path. It would be nice to come home every Wednesday night and know with 100% certainty that you cannot socialize with friends because you are making real progress on a new puzzle that you've been working on for the last 9, 10 months. In addition, you can create an imagine of "business" that makes you feel - and appear important and occupied. Always being available to hang out makes you look pathetic to others, and to yourself. Period. Does this mean lie about being able to meet up with friends every once in a while to build this aura of mystery? Perhaps. But more important the concept of building a routine will kill to birds with one stone. And we all know that one in the hand is worth two in the bush. (he lied?)
Here's lookin at you kid.
