Graffitto

Here I sit broken-hearted,
Tried to post but barely started.
What to write about today?
There's so much that I want to say.
But navigating my obstructions,
My predeliction for obfuscations,
My incessant navel-gazing,
Produces in your eyes a glazing.
So feeling stupid, just a bore,
My best thoughts better thought before
By others with superior skill
At producing posts that will instill
Bright ideas while entertaining
Without my whining and complaining.

You should produce one of those films like Bob Dylan did, where he holds up the words on a piece of card and then throws them away. You could make it into a quicktime an post on the site.

Topic hungry?
How about Holiday shopping with your vehicle of choice. Fender-benders while in transit, imagined or not, would be illuminatory.
If not that, you've got 16 days to concoct a New Year's Resolution list. That's always a good place to unload venom, ennui, & this year's baggage.

Looking forward to your insights.

I know! Post about the wacky antics of your cat, or a sickly dog that needs attending, or your naughty children, or your forgetful wife, or your wicked boss, or your visits-too-long mother-in-law. Or how about a nice ramble on consumer culture and its gross evidence during the holidays? Or a reminiscence on your favorite high school teacher? That right there is at least a week of posts, all of which you're more than welcome to write, my treat.

Thanks for your ideas. However, I didn't write this post because I lacked ideas, I wrote it because I was frustrated with not being able to translate any of my ideas into post-worthy words. Come to think of it, my inability to write my current ideas may mean that I need better ideas. So, thanks for your ideas.

I may be a new reader, but I can already say that all of your words are post-worthy.
