Connections of passion

It's really hard to write sometimes. Though I've always been a fan of free writing. I have ideas that I think come out at the strangest times. I don't know though, whether it's a good thing to sort of force yourself to spew out these ideas or not. Another problem that I seem to be having is focus. I don't have a method to help me with that. Now that I think about it, I'm going to google that shit right now. Ways to focus, or improve focus, or some shit like that.

Fuck! It's really hard to think straight this early in the afternoon. Yea, I said it. This is really less of a journal, than a way of getting my mind on track for whatever the fuck it is that I'm really supposed to be thinking about. I will however, go back and take a gander at all these posts someday and see if there is a theme. If there is a connection of ideas, then maybe that's my passion. Now there's an interesting thought.

Balance

I had a revelation today. The reason that i don't have so much energy, is that I sit around all day. This poses the question: does sitting, or laying make you a worse person? Not necessarily. The thing is, there are self help gurus all over the world who are getting a boner over rest and relaxation time. They say you need to take naps and be lethargic like fucking dogs. What they don't take into account, is that people in this day and age are getting more than the recommended dosage of rest.

In fact, I would go so far as to tout that Americans are lazy as fuck when it comes to our bodies and exercise and all that good stuff. It's not enough that we should get up and move around for a half hour per day or what not. It should become a habit of the general public to be on the move most of the day. Now I know there are exceptions to this rule, there are plenty of people who work jobs that involve standing, but for the most part, I think Americans are the creative genious type, like myself, who can see the brilliance of ideas and abstract thoughts, but when it comes to taking care of themselves, not much thought goes into it. So, with the good comes the bad, and I think that it is only appropriate that we exercise our minds as well as our bodies. Balance it out people! Balance!

What will come of the great ideas of the future?

I really don't have much to talk about here to be honest with ya. I had a really interesting thought the other day though, and that is that considering the age that we are in - the information age - it's easy to understand why or how some people only have bursts of genius thoughts. Especially when it comes to writing.

That is one of the essential reasons why I am enjoying writing a blog: I can just splurt out a brilliant idea, and not have to worry about the length, form, format. Hell, I don't even have to worry about grammar here. I can use words like splurt. I do have to wonder though, about the effect of information overload on the authors of the future. The attention span of anyone born after 1989 is basically non existant, because let's be honest, there's just to much shit to do. I worry that this is the age of the end of great authors. Maybe not so much the end of great ideas, no, definitely not, but there will be no coherency to these ideas, and that is fucking scary.
