Thinking Too Much About Nothing

Thinking too much about nothing.

It is really hard to get started on my blog when it’s been days since I could steal the time to write. My mind turned into a vast wasteland the moment I sat down in front of my computer and clicked on the “New Post” button. This has happened to me before . I think that button has the power to suck the brains out of my head. One click and my inspiration and ideas disappear.

With all the good PostaDay2011 topics available, I should be blogging up a storm. Not so. Tonight the questions about my perfect Sunday, or which album would I want on a deserted island, or do I want to live forever- remain unanswered. I can’t make up my mind, so how can I write about them?

Now what? Sit here and stare at the blank post form? Surf other blog sites? Give up and watch recorded TV shows on my DVR? Sigh… It’s times like these that make me question my calling as a writer. Am I wasting my life working on mediocre writing that no one wants to read? Why can’t I figure out what I want to say?

Maybe I am just too weary from working 12-hour days this week, most of those hours in front of a computer monitor. Forgive me, but I think I will climb into bed and get some rest. Who knows? I may wake up full of it and write two blogs tomorrow.

It could happen…

One Hour Left

January 12, 2011January 12, 2011 ~ JodiLea

I sure do not want to spend my last hour fretting about how I was going to die, but that is me. I am a scardy-cat. The monster-in-my-closet has always been “The Unknown”

So, let’s say that I already know, and that I am OK with the how and the why. The timing sucks. Talk about a hard deadline…

I would want to be with my husband for that hour so I could melt into one of his bear hugs and feel safe. I would pray for my loved ones who will be left to their own devices when I am gone. I would also pray for forgiveness – from God, and all who have known me long enough for me to have said or done something stupid to offend them.

I am in tears, just writing this post, so in reality an hour is probably all I could stand.

AZ Governor Responds to Criticism

Very Well Said! I wish she Governed California…

The owner of the Phoenix Suns basketball team, Robert Sarver, opposes AZ’s new immigration laws. Arizona ‘s Governor, Jan Brewer, released the following statement in response to Sarver’s criticism of the new law:

“What if the owners of the Suns discovered that hordes of people were sneaking into games without paying? What if they had a good idea who the gate-crashers are, but the ushers and security personnel were not allowed to ask these folks to produce their ticket stubs, thus non-paying attendees couldn’t be ejected.

Furthermore, what if Suns’ ownership was expected to provide those who sneaked in with complimentary eats and drink? And what if, on those days when a gate-crasher became ill or injured, the Suns had to provide free medical care and shelter?”
– Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer

I dare you to try going to any other country without your ID.
