things pass away so new births can occur...

well, i've pretty much become resigned to the fact that it's possible to live life without an automobile. pretty much. since i don't have a substantial form of income to pay for autorepairs, i can't get my car fixed anymore. so until my fortune changes, i will have to find other means of transportation to get to the places i want to/need to go to. as for getting around my town, i'm fine with walking. i'm not crazy about riding my bike in this town because it is a city made for cars, not bikers, but i will adapt.

so right now i've made my first adjustment. i am sitting in the nearest starbucks to my home. it's about a 30 minute walk away, not too bad. also, i'm using my netbook, not my laptop so the weight of what i have to carry is bearable. were i to carry my laptop here it would be a real pain. and since i only have the netbook, this means that i am unable to edit photos here. i will be restricted to strictly writing. good thing, eh? considering that November and Nanowrimo is almost here!

the one thing that is a real problem for me though is that i have sooo many photo shoots scheduled over the next two month and i don't know how i will get to them. this may become a death blow to my cemetery girl project.

this weekend in particular was full of plans too. photo shoot saturday afternoon, Sarah Vowell talk saturday night and Adrian Belew sunday night. bummer.

This is fascinating reading because you are a good writer and there is an immediacy to what you say that took me along as though I was there.
I too have stopped pursuing my dreams because I have become cynical, hardened and suspicious, also lazy.
I have had artistic ambitions in the field of writing in particular but the editor in me takes possession of the writer, and I seldom try writing any more.
Thanks so much for making this blog available for me to read. It gave me a sense of connection.

ok, ok - i'll write something...

Sometimes I hate the laws of karma that bind me to this reality so much. I hate living in a place that suffers this heat in the summertime so badly too and would gladly pay in slave labor to be able to live in Santa Cruz, or some other affable place near a pleasant seashore that would soothe my body... and my soul. I don't know why I'm not allowed to live in Santa Cruz. When Billy and I became able to live there from 1995 to 1998 it was like we had won a huge lottery, like I had worked my way out of an enormous prison sentence and I was given a liberty to experience freedom from the previous 35 years of junk-karma I had created for myself. Was it the benefits of hard work? Or luck? Or karmic justice? Now I cannot even afford the price of a tank of gas for a day trip to Santa Cruz and my body aches so much from the mental woes and worries my mental disease inflicts me with, I'm afraid that if I got into the 50 degree waters for 30 minutes of body surfing that my musc...

i don't know what it was about reading this, but somehow it got me excited and i suddenly feel an urge and conviction; a belief if you will, that i CAN write this book, and well, do it now. with NanoWrimo happening next month i think i will shift my focus so that i will start to just pour this puppy/kitty out. who's with me?? http://squeakingnoodle.blogspot.com/2006/09/writing-book-in-one-hit.html
