I'm a paradox. I'm a bad person who cares too much about other people. I want things. And there are things that I would do if I were alone in the world, yet I don't do them because of the caring for others. I end up angry either way.
This will be an experiment and challenge to test my personal discipline and creativity by logging one journal entry every day of 2009. I've wanted to get back to writing; friends have encouraged, sometimes begged, me to get back to writing. Hopefully this will help that process flow more easily from the post-apocalyptic landscape of my brain. If the world at large gets some knowledge or enlightenment from this, so much the better. Drop me a line and let me know what you think.
Rule #1: This journal will NOT be some insipid masterbatory play-by-play of my daily minutia. Long or short, every entry will, at the very least, be something observational if not, hopefully, thoughtful. A lot of shit cycles through my head every day, and I think some of it deserves to hit a page instead of just evaporating into the cerebral aether.
Rule #2: I will log at least one entry every day* unless I am physically or situationally incapable of doing so. If I blow a day, I lose, and might very well dump this whole thing at that point and hang my head in shame. (Hence the testing of mental discipline.)
*A "day" for me is defined by the boundaries of when I go to sleep and wake up. It'll almost always run past 12:01am of the next day as I'm usually up til 3:00 or 4:00am. Deal with it.
