A Blank Slate

What would you do if, one day, you woke up and discovered your future a blank slate? No plans, no goals, nothing you pressingly *had* to do... or at least nothing that mattered enough to appear on the now empty slate sitting in front of you?

That's how I feel tonight.

I drove around. Ate something. Not because I was particularly hungry or that food sounded good but because I know I need to eat. I've decided I should take advantage of "nothing sounds good, I don't want to eat but have to" and get into the habit of healthy food (all the time. biggest problem is I need to cook ahead of time for the week in order to do so). Then I drove around some more, relatively aimlessly. Ended up at the river watching the water and ... yeah. That's about it. My plan was to fill that empty slate in front of me... but once I was there it didn't really matter. And my pen died.

Isn't that a great excuse? "I made no plans because my pen died".

But looking on the bright side ... I have a whole, brand new, empty slate in front of me. I can fill it with anything I want! Or I can walk around with the adrenaline rush from the mingled terror and excitement of a blank page.

As a writer... blank pages can be glorious. Exciting and dreadful. Who knows (yet) what it might become? There is magic in a blank page.

 I had the same thought A new profile. That's in the works.Do my part to put all those 40 to 50's womens assumptions about being inoperable and bitter at my age to work .Not because I am, but moreover because I would never make a liar out of anyone!
Using more than all the road!

I'm contemplating renaming my blog. "Life: Party of One" LOL.

Chances are it will remain the same.

 Stay hungry, my friend.


demonicsexkitten replies on 7/25/2015 10:43 am:
I can't quite decide if that's a "don't eat too much" comment or a "hunger for life" comment lol.

That's the problem though I guess. Right this moment... this weekend... there is no hunger for anything. It's okay though - everybody can use a reset now and then.

 Yea.. .. That happen to me for six last six month of one year layoff. I gave up looking for a job being I'm too old. There was no goals, direction, or care. Just living day to day was my efforts. So, I was employed to my surprise. I need to be better my goals in retirement.

Cum to my blog and respond. Have a great kissing fun time.

What I constantly ran into when trying to get a job (I've been unemployed a couple times) is that I either lack the years of experience in a particular specialty field... or I'm over qualified, over educated. Seriously... one interviewer told me he was afraid I'd be bored after 2 months because it lacked challenge and he needed to make sure the person hired stayed a while.

So you did get a job? Or you are now retired? Or both? Hope all is looking up for you

 Oh dear, it never occurred to me that you might think I was suggesting to you to 'eat less'; no, it is a reference to remain hungry for life. The vikings spilled off a little of their mead as a sacrifice to Thor, or gave up some of their food in a similar way—the greatest magicians know that the trick in life is to eat when hungry and sleep when tired (or fast, when there is no food available). Hardly a moment goes by when i'm not amazed.


demonicsexkitten replies on 7/26/2015 4:15 pm:
I only thought that due to my comment about food. Some people are emotional eaters, some are emotional non-eaters. And it's easy if one goes too long without eating to then accidentally eat too much, or to eat bad foods. Or both.

My hunger for life will return... I just need to figure out "what's next" and find new dreams to chase.

 I wish I had the talent for creative writing, but the only real writing I can do is technical writing, but I happen to be very good at it.

If you're good at it and it makes you happy: that's all you need

demonicsexkitten replies on 8/3/2015 5:53 am:
Um... that's bad advice LOL. I should have said "if you want to be a writer: write" just start... it's like anything. You'll suck at first, but eventually get better.
