A while back I participated in the Smartest man, put it on my side bar. But now its gone… doesn’t fit, no longer prudent (I hope George Bush Senior doesn’t sue me for that.) So, here is the list and its a fun exchange between smart people, or just smart bloggers, or maybe just something to do when your not that smart. So tell me how smart are you???

This is a different kind of post, I guess one would say a self-promotion-bragging post. Its been close to two years since I started this blog on the crumbling ruins of my former site and I have sped past the 50 post mark. This would be 53 if this is considered to be a constructable post.
I guess this would be tagged better as ‘Hey Look at What I did!’ However that tag wouldn’t fit in my newly re-designed site. After-all after a while I get sick of looking at the same layout. Like anything new I’m sure there a few bugs here and there. I’m working hard of fixing those along with digging up content for this and my other sites (Which are now listed right above this post – how cool is that?)
Thanks for reading my poems, writings and brainless rants over the past year and 9 months. I can’t promise anything better or worse, however I can do a re-cap of my favorite posts:
But hey that’s just my Opinion. Tell me what you think???

It is not the concept of loosing that has me down lately but more of the failure to realize that I might be on a loosing streak. Besides not keeping up with this and my other blogs, my apartment (how long till people realize the nicer I dress means I haven’t done a laundry in a while), ordering fast food is too easy in NYC since even McDonald’s Delivers, and of course the self inflicting curiosity of the fall tv season, what will suck and what will I tivo but still stay up and watch at the same time. All that might not look too bad but when adding the feeling of isolation, a good friend leaving town another on a verge of leaving and lonely old me writing a book for a year without settling on how the first chapter is going to start, or how dark or witty the character should be. It seems when your trying to aim for a bulls-eye the best way to get it is to take a whole bunch of darts walk up to the board and stab them hard into the red.
Cheating?
Maybe but it looks good, as long as everyone’s heads were too busy drinking or looking for a mate. What is the point of trying so hard with out a round of cheating, fudging, bluffing, blaming someone else or just not recalling your mistakes. After all that works for our current administration, but its kind of hard for a writer to cheat. Its hard to cheat on creativity, or to charge yourself back in for another round, another rewrite, another chapter where the hero reveals his inner self or just sits around playing spin the bottle with a three hundred year old female ghost.
It seems to me while I write it gets harder and hard to rewrite since once I change a small part back on page 1 it disturbs something that was written on page 62, and then that reflects another opinion on other pages which ultimately makes me think of the butterfly effect and then to those butterfly art pieces that freak me out since they look so real that I want to grab a net but there glued to some glass casing (only happened once.) Is a year to long not to be done with your first draft of your first novel? That isn’t a clear or interesting question since I’ve heard some people take decades, and others only months, I’ve never been called fast and use to have a nickname Turtle but thought it was because I was a little timid, well maybe thick headed.
As we throw our ideas out onto the dartboard of hell, and wish for a bulls-eye, it seems cheating might not be the only way but its also a great inspiration. Looking back at our placement of the darts, we can describe them, how they sit, how they puncture into the red crisp of our creative mind drawing the blood to the surface again and we can forget that we didn’t follow the rules getting them there, that when everyone turned there backs or kissed there girls I was alone for those ten seconds to use my creative genius sparking the inner pressure to impress. Yet most of the people around will never believe me, for proper reasoning, again be left by myself to come up with another original piece without bending the rules and need to make the time between work, eating (cooking instead of Chinese), cleaning, classes, working out and other things that distract you while living in New York like the riding on the subway. Have you noticed the increase number of young girls dying there hair riding the subway lately? Maybe that’s for another post… Maybe I’ll leave the darts on the red dot for a little while longer and gloat.

Alright so I was tagged by Aaron for a meme on the 7 P’s. It seems the blogging world has its own game of tag. I still have another one of these I have to get done. These things are fun, but with the week Month I’m having its surprising I’m able to get to this one. So here is my take on these Seven P’s:
Passion – To write about the world around me
Purpose – Enjoy the little things, bring a smile to everyone
Pursuit – for that perfect joke
Position – Siting in front of my computer!
Pummeling – the keys on my keyboard.
Progress – One story at a time… maybe a poem
Personality – Sarcastic – witty with a lot of useless information…
So I Terry will now Tag the following Bloggers: Theresa, Gerri, Cameron . Good luck, and meme away!!!
