Okay, I'll apologize in advance for the corny pun title of my post. Hey, it was funny when I typed it. lol I've been a very bad blogger indeed. I really mean to blog it's just that I can't find the time. Nah, we all know that's a bunch of hooey don't we? I simply lack the discipline to set myself down and write. And so sadly to say, that I miss visiting my friend's blogs, but for some reason my computer won't let me post a reply to anyone on blogger. It's strange and I'm sorry Zombie for not replying to your last post.
I have become so wrapped up in the daily doings of life that I don't seem to have any creativity left, I really miss writing, (songs, poems blog posts ) I just don't feel it anymore. It's scary, that something that could bring so much satisfaction could be disolve into nothingness if not used , if not harnessed and kept alive. Shit! Maybe it was a fleeting thing anyway.
Never mind me folks, I just get a little introspective towards the end of each year; a "could've, should've, would've" kind of mentality.
"So this is Christmas," Lennon sang, and because it is that time of year I wandered as do all the other blind lambs into the dark forest of commercialism associated with the season. I went looking for a Wii gaming system for my daughter. I can't find one anywhere so I did the logical thing and drove 60 miles away to a mall that promised to have them. When I got there and inquired about the Wii, the salesman looked at me as if I had three heads and said, "We don't have any."
"Are you getting some in?" I asked
"I don't know." he replied
"Well do you know where I could find one?"
"on ebay, but you'll pay upwards of $700.00.
"Wha?!
My car probably isn't worth $700.00! And then it hit me like a ton of bricks. Is this the sort of feeling I want to pass on to my daughter? That Christmas is a time of getting fancy presents that will be out dated in a couple of years? Definitely not!
This is my prayer, let me teach my daughter to want the good gifts like love, hope and peace. Gifts that can't be wrapped, but instead wrap your soul.
...And so this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun.
Merry, merry Christmas and a happy New Year let's hope it's a good one without any fear....John Lennon
God bless,
Moni

I know what you mean about losing the fire. I seem to have had the same happen to me lately. Keep at it. Perhaps the pilot light just needs to be relit.
I'm sorry you're going through a dry spell too. You truely are one of my favorite writers. Thanks for the encouragement. Maybe I'm forcing it, I mean creativity can't be forced it has to flow right?
Anyway, Merry Christmas to you and your family. :)
You too, Moni. And thanks for the encouragement. You've always made me feel good about my writing, and it really means a lot to me.
That's why I got my son a Playstation 2. Sure, it's the older generation, but it was a 3rd of the price.
