Daily thoughts and work in progress

God it's been so long since I've blogged, Blogger's changed. It's better. Easier. So easy to do a blog now, any sucker can get one.

I need this blog. I need to put my shit out there, instead of (to continue the shit metaphor) pinching it off, sphinctering it up until it's just right. But I need to do that too. I'm working my ass off on my movie script. They're fun to write, but as always there's so much I want to say: about work, relationships, and the horrible, nightmarish Problem of Being Dave. The problem of being a fool with no cash who is, at age 42-- no, wait that's my age in the script, I'm 43-- is still a "wannabe writer." In the sense I don't earn a proper living from it.

That's my quest this year-- 2004, already half over-- to become a PROFESSIONAL writer, without becoming a hack. Or maybe I should become a hack, what the fuck. Just churn it out. Guess it'd be better than producing --> nothing <--. But, I dunno, there's already so much shit out there. I've gotta make sure that everything bearing the Dave Eddie (TM) stamp is quality product.

Meanwhile, there's three mouths to feed, etc. Pressure, my brothers and sisters. I don't have time for...anything (fill in blanks). I don't feel that I have time to go to my 20th college reunion this weekend. It's probably gonna be death on wheels...hmm, just spoke to my old college buddy Jenny M. in Brooklyn. She's not going, she can't, yet she's curious about everybody. She wants to know all the gossip and wants me to take pictures, though, so it's like she'd kinda like to go.

Ah, I can't make up my mind. Drive 7-10 hours w/kids for one day & 2 nights, then 7-10 hours back? It's a long drive. get to see old buddy Creighton & so forth but maybe just boozy haze. I'm flummoxed. I'm gonna call in some more advice.

Hey, and how about some feedback, how come the only e-mails I get are when I DON'T blog for a while? I conceived of this fucking this as a dialogue, dialogue is way better than monologue, motherfuckers. Am I lighting a candle in the darkness? Are YOU The Darkness?
