i want to write a book

October 24, 2008

yep. i do. problem is, its not a well formed idea yet, i have no formal writing experience, amd it has seriously made me question how talented of a writer i really am.  i mean really…the honest version is that my wit only goes so far. i have no lines drawn in the sand for when something is lighthearted and when i get too heavy, too personal, too…. blunt, sometimes? probably. lets just say i have never been accused of putting things “too nicely”, thats for sure. but im honest. or i try to be. and i have really, really talented friends who i think could contribute handily (and they, of course, would be monetarily rewarded for their contributions). anyways, its on the back burner, but i think it would be an interesting and very right brained activity to accomplish. 

fall is in full swing. i wore a scarf today for the first time. i LOVE scarfs. i sat back with my girls and had a glass of wine and chatted…. while wearing my scarf… and boots. i had my cowgirl boots on. they are pretty rad also. so scarfs, boots, and some of your best friends conversing over a glass of wine… its like a little sliver of heaven. oh, AND a football game was on in the background. now if i could just find a good lookin man that adored me….. mmm mmm mmm…..

this is the album i’ve basically been obsessed with all year. this chick is ridiculously talented. i feel like she took what my heart often says, put it on paper, then sang the hell out of it. very raw and very witty… her live show does not dissapoint. anyways, in my personal rankings this accompilation of music takes “album of the decade” awards from me.  thats a big statement…. especially when you have bands like coldplay making stuff like the “X&Y album”.

im tired. i realize this posting was random. i just wanted to write something. everything i’ve written recently has felt either political, relational, of life struggle related. i just wanted to share daily life today. but please, be american and go vote. regardless of whether or not you completely agree with certain candidates, people have died for us to have that freedom. lets honor them by treating it as the priveledge it is. thats all i have to say about that =). goodnight
