Don’t Wait. Writers Are The Only Artists I Know Of Who Expect To Get Somewhere By Waiting. Everyone

Don’t wait. Writers are the only artists I know of who expect to get somewhere by waiting. Everyone knows you have to dance to be a dancer, you have to sing to be a singer, you have to act to be an actor, but far too many people seem to believe that you. don’t have to write to be a writer. So, instead of writing, they wait. Isaac Asimov said it beautifully in just six words: “It’s the writing that teaches you.” Writing is what teaches you. Writing is what leads to “inspiration.” Writing is what generates ideas. Nothing else-and nothing less. Don’t meditate, don’t do yoga, don’t do drugs. Just write.

Lolo Silver,

I'm sad that you never got to see me as a teenager. Never got to see the boy, struggling to be a man, I was. I never got to ask you about your life. I never knew your joys. Your fears. Your struggles. Your pain. I never got to learn life lessons from you because we moved  abroad.

I'm happy that you loved me, I'm happy that you reached out and was a grandparent to me,

Thank you for watching over me as a child. For watching over us.

Lola Sana,

I'm sad because I miss you. I loved you most of all. I never felt like I was your favorite but that was fine with me. You didn't give me special treatment aside from what you gave all your grandchildren --though some claim you played favorites. I'm sad that though we had more time together, we were unable to communicate as your faculties were failing you due to old age. I'm sad that I didn't have enough power to let you live your last days in dignity --the way you had always lived your life.

I'm happy that I made you smile with the little jokes I said during your last days. Thank you for your tenderness.

---

I wish we got to know each other more,

I wish we shared more experiences together.

I wish I could cry to you.

I wish I could call to you for guidance whenever I feel lost.

For courage when I get scared.

I’m looking forward to seeing Jenna return to approximately the same time period in The War Rooms.

I've always been fascinated (and drawn to) people who can just lose themselves in whatever moment they're in.

They're just so into the moment/music and it seems as if they're oblivious to everything else around them.

I don't think she was even aware of the crowd in this.  

Kurdt & that dude from At The Drive In/The Mars Volta also come to mind.

A collection of i-says & whatnots

Read my words, listen to my songs, look at my pictures, and figure me out if you care to do so. I sure as heck haven't been been able to.
