Daily Inspiration

Don't let negative pictures play on the movie screen of your mind. You own the remote control. All you have to do is change the channel. A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes. Whatever you believe about yourself on the... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, God, Just Kill Me!

While looking for a certain dog poem, I came across this website with well-written poems... that make me wanna go shoot myself! Oh my word! I must be a masochist, because I've been sitting here for the past half hour, bawling my head off as I read poem after poem from the point of view of abandoned... Sign in to see full entry.

Did I Say I Liked The Rain?

I'm starting to think maybe I lied. For the past three school days, whenever it's time to go pick up Ayla, it starts to rain. Seriously? Just, really? So not fair. And guess what it's doing now? Come on... you can do it... Bingo! It's rainin' men, hallelujah, it's rainin' men! All right, so I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

A Barney Obsession

Ayla loves Elmo, but she is obsessed with Barney. I guess this is karma, because I was also obsessed with the bloody purple dinosaur when I was a child. Whenever she's awake, she runs to my room, climbs onto the bed and says, "Bahney, Bahney, Bahney!" repeatedly. This has only been happening... Sign in to see full entry.

Tell A Joke

Donations Needed! A driver is stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington DC. Nothing is moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?" "Terrorists have kidnapped Congress, and they're asking for a $100,000,000 ransom.... Sign in to see full entry.

Write About the Items In Your Junk Drawer

I have several junk drawers. I'll go with the top drawer of my desk. This is filled with such odds and ends as CD's (both with and without cases), computer disks, random bits of costume jewelry, index cards of various sizes, wires and cables for my computer, some audio book cartridges, a stapler, a...

Gerald's Game

My most recently devoured book is called Gerald's Game by Stephen King. I thought it was a good book, but it dragged on a bit too much for my liking. I was intrigued by the psychological aspect of Jessie's character, and the "Space Cowboy" did freak me out, but other than that, it was slightly... Sign in to see full entry.

Discouraged Author

I write for the release of it. I also write for the feedback. I've read the advice--write for yourself and not for your readers. For the most part, I do this. But I do try and make my posts interesting. I'm certainly not writing on Blogit for the compensation, but that is a part of it. It's... Sign in to see full entry.
