Please. Sometimes all we want is for things to fall into a predictable routine. But sometimes having things shaken up is the best thing. Stagnation is the recipe for disaster, that being a boring, status quo daily malaise...causing one to not only stop growing, but often times regress into a less evolved organism, one that no longer finds trying and striving for better things the central focus.
It is October already. Hard to believe. That is why today I am posting some tunes. It's Rock-tober here at Ad(am's) Lib.
It is a good day to smile! "We are trying so hard to get it all right. We will only feel lonely at the end of the night....the worst is yet to come...so smile....got no where to go, we will be here for a while, the future isn't given, so smile...."
"You can call me a loser, you can call me a thief, you tell me I am special, then you spit at me." I love these lyrics, and this song by Mikky Ekko. It is hard to say exactly why they are meaningful to me, but I think we can all relate to them at one point or another in our life.
Would you fight for my love? I woke up this morning and I realized that I was not fighting for what was most important to me for the last couple of months. And so things got shaken up. The things that meant the most to me got taken away. Sometimes it takes losing something(s) that are very special to realize what is really important in the first place. "The last poison in the room she heard was the poison that she loved the most. Nobody noticed I was down on the rug, I am getting better at becoming a ghost." Jack White always has a way of giving me new perspective on my life....and after well almost two decades of rocking he seems to only get better at his craft. I can only pray that I have the same passion and career trajectory as Jack, but with writing, even if on a smaller scale. Every day I try to do a little better. The goal used to be 1000 words a day. I am well over that threshold now....a novel I believe should be at least 70,000 words. So now I shoot for 2000 a day, and hope at least 1000 of that is quality material that is ready to go seamlessly into the growing collection.
Well, that is enough ramblings for today. But one more thing before I go....I had a great breakthrough today as far as story line for my next publication (that isn't the Bio.) I can't really say what it is, because that wouldn't be very professional of me....but I will say I am very excited. And glad that I still have passion for my livelihood. :-)
