Being a writer means treating it like any day-job: you ought to work at it every day, and you can’t just cheat it. But I’ve been busy the last few days with my actual day job and, frankly, nothing has fired me up saying, “Write me! Write the shit out of me!” So here’s a list of five things which, though I am interested in them, aren’t going to be written about today.
- The Oil Spill – This is one of those topics where there is such a major impact on our country, where it is terribly interesting to learn about and where the updates are something I crave. Still, I have no interesting opinions. I have opinions, don’t get me wrong, but they are bland, simple things such as, “boo oil,” “yay birds,” and “boo birds covered in oil.”
- Stealing from Benihanna – I just came up with this one, just now, and it actually has all the makings for a beautiful post. First, it’s a pretty good headline. Stealing? Who is stealing? And what are they stealing from this acclaimed restaurant/dinner-show? And yet, I have other things to get to first. Things that have little to do with entertaining the dear, dear fans of ModernSophist.com
Cats – Nearly every day I take some stupid picture of my cats doing god knows what. Sometimes I send these to my lady so she can having a loving, parental laugh. Sometimes, the photos just sit in my phone, waiting to be a massive stain on an otherwise professional bit of scrolling through what I assure most people is a very professional need for owning a BlackBerry. Cats are always entertaining, but it’s a tired topic, at least for now. Stay tuned, however: I’m trying to get my cat to sit in strange places so I can do a curiosity killed the cat photo collage.- WordCampSF 2010 – I attended this huge nerdfest of WordPress users and developers over the weekend. There’s probably lots to say, just not by me. I am a nOOb nerd. Which means I am not interesting enough to talk to normal people about it, because of how nerdy it is, and not interesting enough to talk to other nerds about it, because my nerd rank is a solid double-0-nothing.
- My Feelings – I don’t have any feelings about anything. Not even about feelings. Even when I was super exhausted from work and from the nerd day, I didn’t have many feelings about it. I was just generally cranky. See, even now, no real passion for this particular topic.
Long story short, I’ll get back to you.

Yeah, right now. I mean, as of the time this was published, it’s happening. And my first thought is, really, a gunman, with explosives, who has taken hostages, at the Discovery Channel?

Dude, you don’t strik me as a cat guy! I love and adore cats so please post pictures of your cat doing odd, funny things. What’s your cat’s name? Sex?
Unrelated to that, are you a left or right brain person? If you like cats, I imagine you’re a right-brain person.
My cats is entirely psychic, which freaks me out. She knows what I’m thinking, all the time. Don’t you hate it when cats lie there while you’re engaged in a private, sensual moment, like she’s all hot and bothered. I wonder if cats pick up the sex aura?
I had my first cat, a calico, at age 5 and consequently I never resolved my Oedpical complex because my cat got hit by a car around that age . To this day, I have ambivalent feelings about my mother and father. So much for cats.
Dan, Nice job on the new Gravatar. Big improvement.

As for my brain. I have a right and a left brain and am fairly confident that I have reconciled them both.
As for any cat-related complexes. I like cats because they generally do what they want independent of what I want. Sometimes you’ve just got to throw them off the couch (bed, room, chair, body, whatever) and get on with life.
In short, bloggers must not write about their lives unless it’s really significant, relevant, and most of all interesting to their readers.
Are you summarizing what I said? It should be interesting, that’s for sure, but I can’t abide by anyone trying to relate to anyone else. Seems like dangerous territory.
