In any case I read a lot, for a lot of reasons, and well, this reading always sparks lots of action in my head. And I'm not sure here, but I think some of the action, motion, ideaness that goes on in my head might be interesting to some of you peeps, so I'm going to write it down. Also writing will help me to organize and make sense of this thinkstuff and to nail some of it down a bit, because quite frankly it usually blows away like sea spray on a windy day.
Ok so heres some of the stuff moving around in my mind today.
Idea One: Write a cool story.
-The last book I read was Deerslayer,
The story of american frontiersman/hunter, Natty Bumpo's first warpath with his native American friend Chingachgook, who happens to be one of the last of his people, the Mohicans. This book is a classic masterpiece and one of the most moving books I have read in a while.
Deer Slayer author, James Fenimore Cooper
Deerslayer was an amazing world to be in for a while, though it depicted a very hard reality, which is fine and good to be around on occasion because life is damn hard for most people and one of the things I'm trying to do with my life these days is be more aware of that fact, but I have to admit that sometimes I crave an easier, more fun reality. I guess thats one of the things I get from reading--a very intense, vivid, emotionally attached sense of whatever reality I want to pick up. Wether or not this is a positive aspect of reading I will not go into now, but I wanted to make this point because lately I'm finding that however awesome the writing I have been reading is, there is always some little aspect of it that lets me down. So, in leu of this realization I have decided to write the perfect story, or I guess the story that I personally am craving the most to read at this moment.
I say 'at this moment,' because there are times when I crave tragedy, and there are times when I crave a love story, and there are times when I crave a tale of survival, and there are times when I want my mind agitated by mystery and knowledge, and wisdom, but as of late I just want a simple, wholesome, happy, adventure. And, of course the word adventure alone entails most of those things I just mentioned, but you know what I mean--I want to go on a good trip. But you know what, just writing that makes me think, makes me feel a little nervous about this trip, this adventure, because I know that, (well I'm sure it will be flawed in many ways), but it will have the one main flaw all stories have, the flaw that unsettles me the most... the end.
The worst thing about stumbling across a good book is knowing that eventually it will end and that you will have to find another. Shit! Ok so I have an idea. I'm going to write the perfect adventure story, and it's never going to end. How? you say... I'm going to write a column, or a damn blog, or continuation or whatever you want to call it of this story everyday, or na, maybe every week, or I dunno I guess whenever I feel like it. I will call this never ending story, "Never Ending Story," and it's going to have all the coolest stuff, like warriors and horses and wolves and giant turtles and... Haha, na, yeah I guess I'm just going to try to write the stuff thats in my brain, doing just that should make it unique enough, because I'm my own snowflake just like the rest of you. Deal with it. I promise I'll start soon. And keep your eyes open cause you don't want to miss this thing, its going to be even better than "Never Ending Story," because it's really never going to end. It might even be better than The Goonies, "Don't laugh, you know you love the goonies! Ok, enough computer, the day's getting away. Bye.
Oh, wait! I forgot I have one other idea I want to get down:
Idea two:
Buzz Blog.
(explanation of this idea comes at a later date)
