Today's post is a couple of T-shirt ideas that I came up with yesterday. I'll be posting a few more tomorrow, but I have a warning. There may be some copyright infringement involved in the sense that I will be using trademarked logos without permission. So... if you're the sort of legal beagle to report me, do me a favor and don't read this tomorrow.

And by the way, meeting with The D went well. She liked the Dynasty a lot and gave me plenty of useful criticism.

New Novel

(It's redundant.)

I suppose it makes some sense that I pick this blog back up again at this point in time. After all, I only gave it up so that I could dedicate myself to writing a novel, and as of a few weeks back said novel was successfully completed. For the record, it does bother me just a little bit that the woman who’s blathering prompted me to blog again in doing so inadvertently proved her point but, I’m sure I get over it, at least until I hear about a tsunami that struck China.

I’ve become sidetracked. But yes, I finished the first draft of my novel and I’m not entirely sure what I think of it. I certainly plan to extensively revise it, but I’m not sure where I will go from there. Though I have read tons of books that are better than mine, I have certainly read some that are worse cough Atlas Shrugged cough. That said, even if I do deem it ‘good enough’ I don’t know if I will attempt to get it published. I kind of feel like this book is not a particularly good representation of my writing style or any kind of thesis on a message I believe in.

In just a few hours I will be meeting with an ex-girlfriend of mine. I will call her The D for the sake of her anonymity, not because she asked me to, but because I certainly wouldn’t want something as embarrassing as dating me published online for the world to see. The D relates to this topic because she had the honor of being the first person to read my book in its entirety and I am curious to see what she has to say about it. Regardless, I have no idea when I will begin the editorial process, and again, as of now, I have no plans after that.

That said, despite the new task of resurrecting Something Clever, and the job of editing Dynasty (The book), and the synonym for task of doing several other small writing projects that I have been neglecting, I have already begun research for my next book, which will definitely epitomize my writing style and a message that I feel is important. I don’t want to reveal to much about it, because I am fairly proud of the originality of my subject, but I will give you a hint in the form of a request that will further my research.

If anyone knows of any good books immediately about the days immediately preceding and following the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, please let me know.

I hope you’re curious.

Justifiction

I’m sitting in Starbucks (I put this online sometime in the future) and I am completely incapable of ignoring the conversation of the two women sitting two tables in front of me. I’ve been unclear. The conversation is actually occurring between one woman while another watches with, what I can only assume from the back of her head and the enthusiasm of the speaker, is mock interest.

So anyway, the woman, who sports a fake ‘Coach’ purse is explaining that everything happens for a reason and that God has a master plan for all of us. She then clarifies that the pathetic state of the economy has prevented her son from being able to stay in an apartment that they are mutually funding but that, with the money she is saving, she will be able to afford a new car, which is great because it will make her ex husband (Alf, I think) jealous.

So, if I understand correctly, the God of the Israelites etc. etc. has orchestrated the ruin of her marriage, the downfall of the American economy, and the homelessness of her son as part of an agenda which will soon culminate in a fantastic moment of vengeful victory. It sort of makes me wished I believed more fervently in God so that he might cause international strife on my behalf. Maybe a tsunami hitting China would cause Starbucks to bring back the Toffee Frappuccino. Oh well, damn Agnosticism but alas, I digress. The point of all this is, to those of you who have been blaming President Hussein for your financial difficulties, you are pointing your finger in the wrong direction. The actual culprit is a southern woman, roughly fifty years of age, with frosted hair, and some sort of divine justification for her fake designer bag… oh, and God.

By the way, a new development, while I was writing that last bit, I got a text message and the apostle women thought it was hers and bent to pull her phone out of her purse. She was disappointed when she realized that she wasn’t popular, but she did prove her point because, her duck was timed so perfectly that the bullet of the sniper I had just phoned in missed completely. Thanks God.
