A cyberspace well to-do list
So my gout went into hyper active mode today which is always fun. I have left over pain killers from the last time so they we’ll be put to good use tonight…suppositories are always fun…ways out. Tonight my guitar teacher was talking about the benefits of music and praying to God. I don’t know if he knows I’m not Christian but I thankful for his advice and insight. Spirituality is important in my life in more ways then I know and there will be no way I could understand…I’ll just leave it at that. Tonight I have an uncompleted cyberspace to do list to attend to.
Let’s see 1st the OK Soda story…(don’t make me cry) I’m going to do it but there was a major technicality which rendered my story obsolete and not redeemable as a final project in my journalism class….so that story is pending completion. Who knows, maybe sense I didn’t turn it in as a project for class I can make a feature for my school news paper. God I hope they don’t blow me off like the radio station did…I submitted my application but have yet to hear back. I’ve had to fight for every inch I’ve got in this life…I don’t expect this to be any different.
2nd I wanted to try to keep in touch with a person I valued. A person I thought was really cool in school named Melissa. Of course that’ just another one of my pipe dreams of being part of normal society/humanity. I called her left another one of my long funny messages and no reply has been received as of a week later. Why do I try??? John Lennon wrote the song Isolation on one of his solo albums. The funny thing was his isolation was 100% self induced. He wanted fame he wanted fortune he wanted the power to change the world…one of the prices he had to pay was no public privacy rending his sense of isolation. I on the other hand can go through the fat Elvis without any of the glory of well-- the Elvis Glory days. (Now, when I mention fat Elvis I’m not really saying I’m literally fat. I’m 5’9’’ 160lbs I’m hardly a fat man but I’m talking more in the metaphorical self esteem sense.) I liked Melissa and maybe even if she doesn’t cash in on my friendship advances…she can have a funny message in which I hope I made her smile one last time in my name. I really need to start blogging all of my life rejections. It might bring some perspective on it all…I guess chalk another one up for the to do list.
3rd I need to write my psychology professor and tell her that her class was awesome. Grades were posted so there’s no chance for ulterior motives on my part…I’m going to compose it now!
Hello Lana,
I was just reflecting on the semester past… (Doesn’t that sound like a holiday story intro?) Anyway, I sat front row in your intro to psych. class and I just wanted to say it rocked. I’m positive you’re going to inspire thousands of future psychologists and the world will be a better place for it. Our class responsible for a lot of content but I didn’t feel burdened by it because I could tell you felt responsible for us. God knows I couldn’t remember most the names of what seemed like 50 plus students in our class. You somehow seemed to learn everyone’s name…that shows you cared about the betterment of your students. Some professors don’t even take the time to learn 15 names in a class. Because of you I can officially wow my co-workers with a napkin scribed with Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. I still don’t get all that damn classical conditioning and unconditioned response stuff…but hey what do you expect? I’m a product of Aurora Public Schools. Anyway, hope you have happy holidays.
Thanks for the awesome class,
Nick Dewart
There, she probably won’t get this until next semester because I’m sending it via school email and hopefully it makes her smile.
4th on my to-do list is I need to review all my blogs like the Artist Way calls for. Do and review, is essential to any system and I really need to make it part of my routine.
5th I need to make the rejection blog aka “sour apples.”
6th I was thinking about making a separate blog for reviews that I write. I would love to write for a major publication. But the fun thing about blogging is the freedom. I can write my style of CD reviews and movie reviews. I can even write a Playboy review if it fits my fancy there’s no limitations in content or approach. The bad thing is there is a limited audience, I don’t have the interaction with a staff of writers and editors and I can’t make my living doing it.
7th last but not least I will make my return to the realms of MySpace. It’s been 6 months since I nuked my account and left a steady stream of blog readers. I just couldn’t handle the nonstop rejection of the Denver music scene. There the scene was rubbed in my face daily and I realized it’s something I just can’t be a part of. But I had people actually interested in my writings. I’m sure my entrance back will be as anticlimactic as anything else I attempt in this world but hey, I can always write about it in “Sour Apples.”
