Writer's Block

The SacTownGuy is not on strike... but is having a bit of writer's block lately. It seems that ideas come to my head as possible blog topics and then leave without getting written. Some things are just EASY... like Star War's Guy below. That dude was basically walking around with a shirt on that said, "PLEASE BLOG ABOUT ME." Beyond that though I have had problems.

This morning while I was on a beautiful sunrise bike ride I thought about riding about the peacefulness of riding at that hour on a Sunday morning... but I didn't have more than that.

Then, while on the same bike ride, I was enjoying my I-Pod and thinking about writing about the music. Maybe some moving words from an old rap song or even the enjoyment I got today from some old 80's "new wave" music that snuck it's way onto my I-Pod from my Kroq listening days. Alas, it was not enough to blog about.

I could blog about going to our neighbor's 5th birthday today. How clicheic it is that the women were helping the kids with crafts while the guys sat on the couch watching a blowout football game... just biding time until cake was served. Actually, I enjoy those parties but how boring is that blog!?

Could blog about my son's addiction to Lego Star War's on the Wii... but that's sort of the definition of a 5 and a half year old so that's too easy... or "easy peezey" as my son might say.

Could blog about my breakfast the Pimp House this morning. Their omelets are the best. Anybody that messes around eating breakfast somewhere else is just wasting time. However, I have blogged about that before.

I was toying with the idea of blogging about politics and how funny it is that I have friends on the extreme right and extreme left on so many issues. However, I don't like to be a political guy so won't wage that war.

Oh ya, I thought about writing about the fun of connecting with old friends on Facebook. I connected with a couple of old college friends and a couple of old high school friends this week. Very fun to share memories... but if you aren't one of those people those stories might seem boring. Actually, I did hear one worth sharing with you. Connected with an old suite-mate from my freshman year who we will call Brian. If recollection serves me, Brian was an average sized guy who shared the other room with a roommate who was a HUGE guy named Rich. I mean HUGE. Rich had formerly played on the school football team but falled out of shape after a bad car accident. So one night Brian falls asleep in his little dorm bed (not much bigger than a cot) and later that night his huge roommate Rich stumbles in, probably drunk, and on who knows what else.... Rich passed out to sleep... on the wrong bed... and right on top of his roommate! Brian tried to wake him to get him off of him but had trouble as Rich was deep in a drunken stooper. Ok, if you didn't think that was funny you don't know humor.

Ok, that's all I got for ya today. I think my writer's block will be broken by Wednesday so be on the lookout.

peace out.
