another crisp beautiful colorado day...

whats on my mind...pitchers and catchers report in 16 days...mets...red sox...rockies...well, the rox...not so much...one more day of retail hell...this weekends reading at tattered cover for someone who self published confirmed a few things...i wont be writing childrens books anythime soon...and...self publishing is a very viable path...if you're smart about it...so much more to learn...speaking of...gre test prep...is like a flashback...i never sweated the sats or any other tests...it was always the stuff that came afterwards...applications...recomendations...tuition...the consequences...that kind of shit...i'm never fully prepared for it...how could you be...the real question is...sure i can get into grad school...the real question is do i belong there...i don't care about obscure 16th century poets...i'm not interested in learning literary criticism...i simply want to write...well...and be able to make a living from it...a graduate degree...would obviously represent some form of growth and learning...always welcome...but really it's just another rubber stamp to show that i can fufill deadlines, do research, show up on time...do the work...will it really make me a better writer...is it necessary...this is what blows arounds in my head as the storm moves in...
