Writing . . . “Hope I’m Funny!”

This blog is about my journey as a writer, not necessarily making my way as a professional writer despite many people saying I should finish the book or two projects I have worked off and on for several years now. Others have also said . . . no one makes it as a writer.

I know that the internet is a permanent record of everything I write. I know that I could probably readers sometimes because of things I’ve written here. The funny thing is . . . I write for me . . . whether I have readers or not.

And I want to be funny.

I believe people want to read funny things. To be given something in return for those few minutes they have invested in dropping by to give it a look. I also know that a writer can’t hit the same note every single day. You cannot write a plumbing blog about plumbing every single day but over the years I have many funny stories. Can a humor blog be funny every single day or a tech blog that’s about tech thingies every single day hold your interest?

Will I bore the crap out of my audience? I surely hope not but, then it’s a personal thing to observe and report back those little things that amuse me as I walk though this life.

I have no idea what the future of this blog holds, but I’ll make you a promise. I’ll continue to seek out those moments . . . those little observations when people don’t think anyone is paying attention to them . . . and put it out there for whoever cares to look.

Life sometimes gets in the way of my writing everyday but that’s ok too.

The implication is that the person could have been a writer if they had had just ten minutes' more time in the day.

As someone once said, writers write. Wannabe writers wanna write.

So, I don’t know. Like Richard Pryor once said, “Hope I’m Funny!”

Morrison Springs - Ponce de Leon, Florida

Morrison Springs Ponce de Leon, Florida County road 181 Morrison Springs was one of our favorite dive spots on many of our Florida trips but it also had the most danger to it.  One of Northwest Florida’s best-kept secrets was known to more Georgia and Alabama folks than Floridians.  And they weren’t talking.  It had to do with the jewel of a Panhandle spring, a turquoise pool surrounded by stately cypress trees whose aerial roots stand taller than a man. Below the surface, clear, 68-degree water wells up from a spring cave source over 90 feet deep. Morrison Springs is just far enough off the beaten path in this sunny pine and cypress country to be special for any diver lucky enough to find and dive the site. The shallow pool reflects the overhead blue sky and if the water is clear and the bottom clean of silt, it resembles a giant sapphire.  Unlike some springs with a deep, black hole source, this one takes visitors gradually into its shallows from a gol...

Are Showing Your Nipples Appropriate Work Attire?

Let me first say that personally, I have no problem with it at all. This has been kind of a weird week here in the north land with the first of many winter snowfalls’s to come and the landscape once again beautifully covered in the white stuff. It looks like the kids will have to put their Halloween costume on over a snowsuit again this year as the cold snowy stuff is here again. That is not what I wanted to write about tonight but was necessary to set up what I did want to write about. “Frosty nipples” are quite common here during most of the year and when things cool down on the cusp of winter probably more so. Work attire with tight shirts or low cut blouses that ‘make a statement’ during colder weather could be taken several ways by co-workers or visitors to your place of business. While you may not always be taken seriously by others in the office and some may have trouble looking you in the face, I say it's a freedom of rights issue. If you want to show o...

Biscuits and Whores

Some of the best things about life I learned from Lonesome Dove. Great movie, excellent characters, and tells a story about how to live life. Augustus McCrae “It ain’t dying I’m talking about, it’s living.   I doubt it matters where you die, but it matters where you live.” I'm just tryin' to keep everything in balance, Woodrow. You do more work than you got to, so it's my obligation to do less. “Yesterday’s gone and we can’t get it back.” “I'm sure partial to the evening,' Augustus said. 'The evening and the morning.   If we just didn't have to have the rest of the dern day I'd be a lot happier.” Hat Creek Cattle Company Well we don't rent pigs and I figure it's better to say it right out front because a man that does like to rent pigs is . . . he's hard to stop. Biscuits “I never knew you to get excited about anything except biscuits maybe . . . and whores!”    Captain Woodrow Call to Augustus McCrae in Lonesome Dove. Whores L...
