i finally wrote in a paper journal last night. i haven't done that in forever. i started in on the one ben gave me... i still have at least 3 blank ones i've gotten from mom my old boss and myself. thats probably enough for a lifetime. haha.
besides from the fact that today i took new photos and put them on my myspace page (b/c we all know that's so much fun??) nothing all too eventful today.
it was easter. and we don't celebrate easter, we just celebrate candy. so i had a lot of candy and worked out a lot .. cuz well candy undoes that. o and cheesecake definitely undoes that. hehe.

It's amazing, really, how different an exercise it is writing on paper as compared to typing at our computers. I write little stories, and they HAVE to be written by hand, with a nice, bulky, smearable-ink pen...I think the slowness of paper-and-pen writing allows for more time to parse the language we use, and allows our thoughts more time to distill. ANYWAYS, just some thoughts. I hope you are having a nice day...when will it be warm, when...when... :) Be well, Chris R.
actually i think writing in pen allows less "parse time" than with blogging. in a blog i reread and can edit. once i write it down with pen its there. and that's what i said and the way i said it. no going back.
writing with pen is more ballsy. even though no one will ever read it. i'll know i was anywayz.
oh .. and .. have we talked before? i don't remember you specifically.

Thank you, you gave me a perspective I hadn't ever considered before...I can absolutely see your point, and see its correctness for the world of blogging/online-writing...I've never had a blog, but I see where it would be a thing to take pride in, but also--since your written words here will lead to the first opinion a new reader forms of you--I can see why you would be quite careful in your wording..grammar..etc. Or maybe I'm completely wrong! :) I think for myself only, since I have to write fiction by hand (imagination just doesn't flow when I am seated here in front of my computer's screen), the use of pen and paper leads to a slower, more carefully considered use of the language...it allows me the time to get the words right, the way I hope/intend them to appear. But thank you, sincerely, I honestly had not considered the carefulness required in the writing of a blog/journal...it is clearly as important for you to use the correct language online, as it is when I write something fictional, by hand.
No, we have never corresponded....I used to read your journal years ago, because I always thought you had a very interesting way of writing, and I also found your personal musings quite intriguing. I apologize, truly, if this is an invasion of privacy...I thought to check your site again, recently after having been away from it for years, and hoped that you wouldn't mind a new person commenting here. Please let me know if you would rather I do not do so.
We are supposed to have 3-4 inches of rain/slush/disastrous-mess here, in upstate New York over the next 12 hours or so...I soo hope your weather is not predicted to be the same there! Well, I shall let you go...be well, and bye for now, Chris R.
oh no commenting is perfectly welcome. i just wanted to know if i was forgetting something. nice to hear someone else is entertained by my rambling.
