Writer's Block

Thank gawd I don't make my living as a writer. I've had a bad bout of writer's block lately. For the last couple of years, eh? Mostly, I can't decide if I want to be funny, which is difficult enough as it is, or if I want to be serious.

My wife told me the other day, "You're funny!"

I responded, "Yeah, but looks aren't everything!"

Ba dum dum.

Commentary is good but all too often, I feel like I'm just reinventing the wheel. I mean, just how many more opinions do we need about global warming, the pending political elections, religion, the crappy economy, etc. We do NOT need another movie reviewer on line, that's for sure.

Funny and sad at the same time: The other day, I bought two new stocks. They both tanked within 5 minutes of being bought. It's as if the other people who owned them were just waiting for me to buy and then all together, they all sold off all at once. I didn't lose a LOT of value but definitely an instantaneous loss.

THAT is a sucky economy. A recession is when your co-worker gets laid off. A depression is when YOU get laid off. Anyone know who originally said that?

Jeez. I'm writing about the economy without prior warning. My apologies. That's what I get for writing at 3:30 am.

I should just go surf for some porn but even that is boring any more. At least it doesn't require conscious thought.

Or just go back to sleep.

G'nite.
