I think of important things!!!! When I am not busy.

 So the guy keeps telling me, "Write!" Of course, you see, about what becomes the question when there is truly nothing happening, being that starkly dull time of year when winter will not loosen it's grip and Spring is illusionary.
" I have nothing/"
"Oh, oh, you have plenty of that!  Write about it!"
But somehow I thought that if I really did have plenty of nothing, that really didn't leave much to write about.  It is hard to make something out of nothing.  Fox News does it all the time....but mostly they make nothing out of nothing which is entirely a different matter altogether.  I could write a TV show about basically nothing, but Seinfeld has laid claim to that.  How about a play?  " Much Ado About Nothing.?  Now that sounds like a really slick title and I will do IT!  Maybe have it take place somewhere in Italyl
In the meantime........I decided to write a great America Novel......only...cheat.  See I figure if I just steal the last sentience from each chapeter of a great book.....why gosh, I would be on my way to ACTUALLY writing something....lemmee try it, see how it works....

Little Jackie made it stick, all right.
He was right about that.
They inspired confidence.
The parcel, unopened, traveled around with him from unfurnished room to furnished room to the apartment where he lived for awhile with his beautiful wife Lois until the time came when he just walked out the door and didn't ocme back; to other furnished rooms and hotel rooms, to a big squarish parcel with the brown paper turning to yellow and the cords sagging and the name Jack Burden slowly fading.
And we love truth.
For, looking at me, she slowly nodded.
If we believe the dreams we dream when we go there.
And the winter had been long.
It had beenthe funeral of Adam Stanton,down at Burden's Landing.
But that will be a long time from now, and soon now we shall go out of the house and go into the convulsion of  the world, out of history into history and the awful responsibility of Time.

...well, so much for that idea.  At least it made me think, even just a little.  It did remind me of a Blog I used to read a few years back.  The guy's real name was Al Weisel and he wrote under the name, Jon Swift.  Al died unexpectedly about three years ago...it was just a wonderful little thing, well crafted, satirical and witty...and everything he wrote seemed so full of, well, something.  I wish I could write like he did.

Jon Swift

I am a reasonable conservative who likes to write about politics and culture. Since the media is biased I get all my news from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Jay Leno monologues.

...Anyways...I still hae nothing.  Just so much air, is all.  Not that having air is such a bad thing...I recently had a small experience of what it is like to NOT have air and I would not recommend that to anyone.  Air is good....you can have thin air, and disappear into it, air can be thick with suspense and so thick you can cut it with a knife.  Clean air.  Foul air.  Good for a walk and catch the night air.  You can be lighter than air, fly through the air with the greatest of ease, fall right out of the air, but of course, you had to have been up in the air first or at least been walking on air.  Yupperz, air is a good thing, much better than nothing, yet it is still hard to put air down on paper.  Kind of like the wind, which is a good enought thing cause you really need to have some air if you want to have a little wind.
And wind is good.  It is rahter like air, only it blows.  Which is good, right?  I mean, how good would wind chimes be without wind? Sure would be a slow boat to China, too, without some wind.  And how can you 'go fly a kite' without a little wind?  Wind is almost as good as nothing, except wind really does do something...and it really cares a better description of what is going on.  When you say ;break wind' you know exactly what just happened...in which case it would be best to be up-wind, cause you would not want to get wind of it.

Reminds me of a joke by Danny Kaye in  The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, 

And the oboe it is clearly understood
Is an ill wind that no one blows good.

 Which makes you think.....Does and Ill wind take two aspirins and good to bed ?Yes, wind is good.  Except on Neptune.  Saw some show on some cable channel and this guy was talking about the winds on Neptune blow constantly  at 900mph which sure wouldn't be good for beach property I'm guessing, though 900 ph is getting close to Rachel Maddow.  OK, I like her, but gees, she sure does talk fast, rather like she forgot to pee before getting on the set and she really has to hurry.
which reminds me....just hold it...I'll be right back.

There, I feel much better.


It is just that time of year, I guess. Not much going on unless you really like Pope Elections or a college basketball tournament that now has some 86 or so teams.  Sheesh.


Well....I still got nothing, jjust dead wind and stale air.
Kinda like McCongress.
Can I get some fries with that legislation?

Wonder if there is any TV shows on tonight of great social significance or political importance?
