Taking Notes

Over the last few days or so I've gotten hyped about being in the blogworld. I've started slipping mentions of my blog into conversations with everyone, including restaurant customers.

It usually goes something like this.

Them: So how have you been doing?
Me: Awesome, I can't wait to get home and write on my blog.
Them: What's a blog?

or this!

Them: What have you been up to lately?
Me: Not a whole lot, just trying to work up some new material for my blog.
Them: What's a blog?

here's another popular variation of the same conversation!

Me: Have I mentioned yet that I started my own blog?
Them: You mean like online?
Me: Yes.
Them: What's a blog?


So as you can see, despite what I thought was a deep penetration of the word "blog" and the reports I read constantly about the millions of new blogs started everyday normal people at an average restaurant like Ruby Tuesday seem to have no idea what a blog is. Unfortunately there is no substitution for visiting a blog, so I will just have to keep on talking about my blog until my comments section is so crammed I have to hire a PR person to handle it. Maybe it would also help if there was a place on the page to email me? Because I'm not sure that there is. This could be one of the main reasons that I haven't received dozens of emails from curious denizens of this great world that we live in called the Internet.

I'm tired and I need a shower. How was your day?

A few more things happened that must be reported on.

1) I've started keeping a small notebook and a pen in my back pocket to record anything funny or interesting that people say. I also record casual observations that I make and realize that no one else is making these observations so I should write them down for the benefit of all mankind.

2) I watched Charlie and the Chocolate factory

3) The Hot girl from work started putting the moves on me. Please note that even though I capitalized the word "Hot" it has nothing to do with the movie "The Hot Chick" starring Rob Schneider and is really more about how hot the girl is.

My next blog will focus on those topics which I have cleverly alluded to in order to get my readership to click here again tomorrow.

But alas my time for writing has passed, and my time for going to my local newspaper office to pick up an advance ticket for the awful movie The Island has come.


Until then, keep those comments flowing in like rain!

Art as Devotion to God

 Art as Devotion to God   There are so many essays on the difference between art and craft, and in truth the two are so intertwined as to be nearly interchangeable. To master a craft such as woodworking takes extensive discipline and devotion, and to master an art form such as sculpting takes the same thing. In truth the crossover between the two is the personal expression inherent in each. In either case if a woodworker or a sculptor’s entire body of work was constantly repeating the same design such as would be made by a machine no one would think of them as much of an artist. However, no one could watch a master chef craft every element of a recipe just so, and not say to themselves that they were seeing a great artist at work. And yet that art does not come without a cost, and as artists we can sometimes be stymied in pursuit of perfection or of what we see as worthwhile. Shows like “The Bear” where we see Jeremy Allen White’s character struggle over every creati...

I've Got a Job

You read the title right. I just got a job at Uno's Pizza, and yes I'll be a waiter. I'll also be waiting for your responses. Yes, that was a joke. Yes, it was an awful one, but things cost more in the city. I had my notebook filled up with like 18 pages of leads and phone numbers and jobs to look for and amazingly enough, Uno's was actually looking for workers. I was incredulous. I went in to the resteraunt and was greeted by a smiling manager with an earpiece named Chad who seemed like your typical cool dude recent college grad. And somehow he was the manager, maybe the fact that this location is across the street from New York University in the East Village (Manhattan) has something to do with this. I don't know. But right now I'm feeling overwhelmed with joy from finally getting a job, combined with the sudden drop of having one of my main goals knocked out of the way and I was so tired from that struggle that I feel the need to recharge my batteries till ne...
