Writing Sabbatical

So here I am fresh of my writing sabbatical, I am looking around and my blog looks empty.  No shocker there, but then I saw a reflection in my computer screen and it was me, and I was pissed.  How the heck haven’t I written anything on my blog in almost a good week and a half?  That madness.  Then I took a look on my bed and seen couple of dents based on all the freedom I had jumping in it and sleeping and etc. then I changed my expression into a smile.

Sometimes you just need a time off from writing.  I was working on too many fronts managing an epic amount of work load, music album, independently publishing a book, and trying to writing scripts for my youtube channel and working on a short film.  I felt like I was exceeding words, so I shutdown.  I had been blogging for over 4 years consistently and since last year, I had enrolled in blogging everyday.  Yup I said it, 365, ouch.

Shutting down is sometimes good, and it refuel you.  You get to let out fresh thoughts and new perspectives and other elements of life that happen during your absent.  I am more than ready to fill in the blank, but guess what I am back.  I am ready to entertain and kick some blogging butt.

Have you ever taken a writing sabbatical?  Have you ever had writers block?

Thanks for reading

PS: I have also been reading.  I think I am addicted right now.  I think amazon is going to send me a nice bill with the books I am about to buy and have bought.  Also poor ol Barnes and Noble shall be seeing my face very often.

What Are You Doing For Your Birthday? – [Countdown To My Birthday 2011: 4 days to go]

E-I-E-I-(Annoyed Grunt)

Image via Wikipedia

Every year there are a few concerned people that always ask what are you doing for your birthday.  And it’s not a problem if you have an answer for them, but when you don’t know yourself and they are not even throwing in some options for what might be fun to do, it gets quite annoying.  I don’t really get annoyed by it because I am a last minute type dude when it comes to birthday.  If I plan it, it fails, so I figure out of everyday in the year, just watch and see what I do.  If it includes you, I would contact you in advance and tell you to clear your schedule or time frame and we are hanging out that period of time.

But to be real…So far as of 4 days to go.  I want to experience a quite morning of nice lavish things, such as breakfast, ordering a cake, buying myself a balloon (for no one buys me that anyways, I will buy my own), blowing the balloon, buy myself a birthday card, avoid facebook and my blackberry for the reasons I listed in my last post (Chaotic Facebook Alerts – [Countdown To My Birthday 2011: 5 days to go) and keep a big smile on my face.

Once the afternoon rolls in, my mom might be trying to wish her son Happy Birthday, so I will make sure I accept the call and call her back, and thank her for giving my life and how awesome of a mom she is.  Then unto planning and refreshing and recharging my camera and video camera, I might watch some type of quick comedy on netflix and write a freestyle to release later that night on youtube and facebook as the time countdown and the day is over.

I will then recruit my best friend to chill with like me and him did years ago.  I feel like my best friend Chris is the only and best person to welcome my birthday in with.  Me and him have been down for so many years, and his birthday haven't been crazy or we haven't chill so my birthday shall be our time to shop, laugh, eat, laugh, laugh, shoot photos, shoot videos, diss on each other and have a good time.  That's my people, so hopefully we can pull this cool day off.  There might be drinks involved.  I might try to sucker my brother in hanging out with me either that day or for the weekend.

My brother is another story, I should find him right now and PUNCH HIM. lol.

Either way, as of now, that looks like how my day will pan out.  Meet a person in the morning, couple hi's to others in the afternoon, and my best friend to end the day off.

I wonder if I can MASS TEXT this to all my friends and cool people via text or emails? hmmmm I might drop the links in a upcoming video.  3 days until my birthday.  Let's see what happens.

7/20 here we come...

Did I mention CANCERS RULES!!!
well now you know.

I Am Just Saying #3 – We Live In A Copy and Paste World

Symbol for copy & paste problem on the English...

We live in a copy and paste world, boys and girls.  We lack originality, passion, commitment, and dedication for literature, art, and self-expression.  Just a bunch of copy cats, who takes and yet not give, just recycle the same form of media.

3 reasons to have a baby

Let me start off by saying having a child is such a awesome thing and major step in one’s life, but for me there are some cool benefits in having a child.  Other from starting a family and being a awesome parent to a new born or even adopting, parent hood is a lot of responsibility and a blessing.  But let throw a little humor into the picture, and read my 3 reasons to having a child.

1.- so I have someone to hug when I am lonely.

Baby hugs

2.- teach them things in life like getting me a cup of water on demand, maybe even go to the store (lol)

Look at me mama! I can drink myself!

3.- make silly youtube videos with them and snap photos of how cute they are, until they grow up then all you can do is shout at them.  at least I would have captured all the cute parts.

Baby & camera

What are you reasons to having a child?  Did you try or do any of the reasons I have listed?  let me know in the comments.

Thanks for reading
