A journal.

This morning I have a mental block, or writer’s block, whatever you call it.  There’s nothing to write about.  I’m sitting on a comfortable swivel chair and the table is just right but the mind has nothing to bite.  I had better write about nothing or spend the rest of the day reading.

It’s 2 p.m. and I haven’t read anything.  I might as well think of the past.  But I can hardly remember anything. . . . past be damned.   I only know I was a shy boy and still I am.  Four months from now I am 21.  Oh boy, how long will it take before you realize that as long as you’re shy, or pretending to be a moron, people will take advantage of you because  shyness, to them, is a form of weakness?  Now I remember (but the images are vague) that my stupid, moronic classmates in high school and in college looked at me that way and they took advantage at every opportunity.  I understand it now because students are morons in general.  That’s all for now; at least I’ve filled out this page like an application form for a job.  Hey, did I tell you I’m a fresh accounting graduate looking for a job?  But that would be for another entry.

    Amen brother—I feel you from my dandruff to my toenails.
    I can sit in front of my pc all day and no satisfying thoughs come to mind or a million diversions. But, as soon as I get to work , the ideas come pouring in. Of couse I am too busy to stop and write them down or get sidetracked on my way to find pencil and paper..lol And by the time that I get off 8 often ten hours later I am just to pooped to do anything. sometimes I try anyway but my mind is so f–ed up what I write looks like googlyglop. So I know what you mean just hang on in there and know you are not alone.
