Perhaps A Career In Misanthropy Would Suit You

We exchanged pleasantries and when they inquired about my opinion of their service I said “perhaps a career in misanthropy would suit you.”

They thanked me and I told them to try not to defenestrate themselves and kept on walking with my head held high. Strode down the hall thinking it was too bad I hadn’t eaten a bowl of ice cream so I could have gifted them with a silent reminder of my gratitude.

You can’t plan for these moments where you gain an audience with a person who holds a Certificate of Stupidity and or is a graduate of “my mother drank while pregnant with me” so you just do the best you can.

Got to say I think the prior post had some pretty damn good material, so much so I read it twice because I gave me ideas for some future work.

Writing For The Stars

Got Bob Dylan singing in my ear cuz I have spent the last few days thinking about how to throw myself into my writing more deeply than I have for a while.

Goal is to work on writing for the stars not the in sense of celebrity but giant balls of gas that look down upon us.

Got to get better and find improvement wherever I can because there is something burning in my belly

Can’t keep going as I have and doing what has served me because it no longer does. What was is over and it is time to do things a different way.

Time to walk through the door and see what is waiting upon the other side. That is going to require more than just a new approach and self discipline.

It is kind of exciting if not a little nerve wracking too.

Got a meeting coming up that is making me a little crazy because I don’t know what direction it is going to go in.

The nerves aren’t for lack of preparation because I know the material well and I can break it into small digestible chunks or go for 15 minutes without taking a breath.

Lean towards the former instead of the latter because I am not convinced attention spans can hold, especially since some of the denizens of lollipop land will be there.

And that is what irks me.

Decisions for this ought to be focused upon logic and reason but could be determined strictly by mood and not my own. Not going to back down on this one, not going to give an inch.

At best I pivot, spin, adapt and advance again. It is what you must do with some people.

Talked to the kids about it because they are in the midst of fighting their own dragon and figured explaining how I intend to slay mine might help a bit.

If things go well that dragon won’t ever appear but they might not so I am prepared for either. Sometimes life is a hoot and people are peachy and sometimes neither are true.

Going full force on this, pump the hell out of it and see what happens. Ought to be interesting…I hope. 🙂
