reset...

this blog was originally intended as a writing journal...let's get to it...

the word of the week in james' life:

discipline: VERB, to push beyond the paths of least resistance...the well worn paths...and stay off...to focus on what's important...and ignore the instant...and the temporary...to refuse to quit...in the face of obstacles...and self destructive thinking...

Johnny Cash Loves You!

in my headphones this week...

in case some of you folks haven't figured it out...the lyric links will open itunes in your computer...if you have it...if not...it will take you to the apple site to download it...for free...sometimes...i'll sneak something in...that's not itunes rleated...just for fun...

these thoughts are picking my brain...

if i could hold you...

...the cutest little gal in the 48 states

i only love you cause...

feel what i feel when i feel what i feel when i'm feelin'...

freedom...freakout...and free for all...

hear what i say...

Bonus:

sometimes...it makes me smile

sometimes...it makes me want to cry

but this always helps me enjoy breathing the air...

Johnny Cash Loves You!

what i've learned from blogging so far (pt2)...

blogging will not replace the people i've come to know and love over the past 20 years



blogging will not replace going down to the neighborhood bar and meeting someone new

blogging will not replace a book in your hands

blogging has begun a revolution in publishing.


blogging (reading and writing) has replaced my daily 4 hours of writing habit

that's bad.



so...

blogging will be replaced by restoring my writing habits

so that i can finally get my book...in your hands.

that's good.




Johnny Cash Loves You!

sometimes a blogger...

blindly hits a vein in the zeitgeist...



and sometimes...he just gets ripped off...you decide...

Johnny Cash Loves You!

by the way...

this team is built for the playoffs...it not just 5 or 6 guys and some also rans...this is a team twelve men deep...any one of them can come off the bench...and fill in with their individual talents...without compromising the lineup...

i don't know how far they'll go...but i can certtainly say this...they'll paly some exciting basketball...even last year...before george karl...this team didn't know how to give up...now the important season begins...and we will see just how good a coach mr karl can be...

Johnny Cash Loves You!
