To be honest, I cannot think of any great article to conjure up this month. My mind is completely blank, like the first snow in the Yukon and there are very few jokes that are able to pop into it. So today I want to apologize for missing last month and attempt to come up with and explanation as to what writers block is for me.
First, I had no idea what I was going to write about last month (ergo no Fargo) or this month. There was not one topic that I had in mind and I didn't want to publish a sub-par piece of gutter trash that certain people in the crowd would heckle. Oddly enough the other night I had the plan to write a grandiose piece about my three years in Kansas City as of December 1st (which lets be honest have been very life changing) or the fact that I am in a loving committed relationship with a person who encourages all of my weirdness to grow and flourish. There are very few times that I have been at a loss for words, however lately I have been at a loss for meaningful ones. There were even 5 possible openings typed up but they all felt forced and fake, like Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee.
All of my problems with articles stem from my writers block which could be blamed on the placement of Mars, the presidency or any number of things that have been keeping my mind running at interesting paces, but not in the right directions. When I attempt to write something, be it song, sonnet or stories I let the words flow from finger to keyboard, not letting my cranium run the sanitarium. The new sensation of not letting my fingers work properly is weird and I wish I could attribute this hiccup in motion to something as simple as swallowing to much oxygen. When my digits are gummed up, I don't find any fun in writing and I find no inspiration in the things that I do. (Which makes me a moody artist I guess.... Damn you society!) Ironically enough, typing about what my writers block is fairly easy.... Go figure.
The great thing is that there is a definite article that I am going to write in December and I am actually going to publish it on a set date, the 23rd. I am not going to go into detail as to what it actually is about because for me this is a very personal and touching subject that is at the forefront of what I have been wanting to talk about for a while. Hopefully this plan will take hold and I will be able to fulfill my promise to all of you at putting nearly twelve in depth, typed up, paintings of who I am.
As always thank you for taking the time to read what I have put down and I know that the next article will be something special that only I can produce. (No pressure Brian, just keep making promises). There are times when I need support and accountability to complete agendas, and this time I know that I will need every ounce I can muster and then some to make this vision become a reality. (As a heads up there were like four Marvel jokes in my mind for this, couldn't decide which one to make). So without further ado, I present to you, an actual article.
