Java with "Joe Bag of Doughnuts"

Bright and Shinie Distractions

Wow three weeks since my last entry. Okay I have to confess I am seriously slacking when it comes to keeping the blog up to date. Go figure huh? I mean wasn't it yours truly who suggested that most New Years resolutions are forgotten by St. Patty's Day? Well as they like to say out here in Tiny Pop Land; "There ya go!"

Now its no great secret to those that know me well that I get bored easily, as such I tend to pop from interest to interest at a moments notice with some regularity. I really can't seem to help it. Either I am developing some middle age version of ADD or I am part Raven. Thankfully I have neither the Nintendo twitch, or the molting that goe with either of the former. It just seems that every time I see something "Bright and Shinie" I become distracted and run off to pursue whatever the new thing might be. Thankfully at some point I eventually get somewhat bored with whatever that new thing might be and I return like the proverbial cow coming home, chicken to roost, or the bad penny.

These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of work, bed rest (was sick quite a bit recently), and new time killers. Thanks to Jeremy at work I have become so hopelessly addicted to these little time killing apps at MySpace that maintaining and playing them has become somewhat of a second job. I also recently discovered the TV series "Heroes". OMFG it's so cool!

As some of you may or may not know I own a TV but I don't watch regular TV (I use it primarily to watch DVD's on). I don't have cable, and I don't even own so much as a TV antennae to pick up the local stuff. I stopped watching commercial TV after 9/11 as I found it too depressing. That said though, this "Heroes" series is fucking awesome. I have watched the first two seasons now (watched the first season in one day when I was sick) thanks to instant viewing courtesy of Netflix, and I am half way through the 3rd season now. I can't wait to see what happens next.

I also recently began a new writing project that I am having a lot of fun with at the moment. It obviously doesn't involve this blog as I clearly haven't done shit with the blog in weeks. It also doesn't involve poetry either, because my poetry blog has become even more ignored than Jw/JBoD. I am writing though, and if my new project becomes as popular as I hope, I might even turn it into a book. Time will tell, but that secret isn't popping out of the bag any time soon, doughnuts or otherwise.

I mainly wanted to pop in and post an entry so my regular readers don't think I have completely abandoned them. Hell maybe I will actually get around to writing the final chapter of "The Adventures of Fatman and Bush Girl" as atonement for my being gone for so long. Ya just never know so by all means stay tuned, something new is on the horizon. OMFG what's that over there???

Have fun ;)!
