DC Dude: Part 2 - F*ck Everybody Else!

As these guys come in and out of my life, I want to point out that I DO realize that there's a reason for this.  After all, I can't be continually going on these emotional roller-coaster rides for nothing. 

No, I have more faith in God than that.  



Case and point:

DC Dude:  I care about you.  That's why I gave you that book.  It will always be there when you need it.  Write your ass off, then write some more.  *BLEEP* everybody else!

The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles

I'm posting this as a reminder to myself.....that DC Dude is right.  *F-bomb* everybody else.  Keep writing.  Don't let the resistance get the best of you.  A great read for any creative person who struggles with procrastination.

See?  THAT'S why he came into my life!  He's been a great inspiration and motivator.

Day #3 - No TV/No POF

Yes, Beth, it feels like I'm inside the cage at the UFC!  It's me against temptation - or "Resistance," as The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles calls it.  

I call it, "procrastination!"  Yuck.

On day #3, I came home early because we had a snow "storm," and I like to put that word storm in quotes, because I think getting 6 or 8 inches of snow, and closing everything down is RIDICULOUS!


I was the ONLY employee to show up at work, and the bosses kicked me out at 1:00pm to go home early, before the driving got "really bad." 


Are you kidding me?  A snow storm is when you get two feet of snow, and you need to go home to shovel the snow off your roof, in fear that the weight just might collapse it! 


But, that's just my humble opinion.


Anyway, I managed on my Day #3 to read Stephen King: On Writing all the way up to page 78!  Woo-hoo!  Somehow, I ignored the sound of the TV coming from the living room, where my two roommates were watching American Idol - again.  And, I managed to ignore their bickering, too. 


The only problem I had today, was the two Netflix movies that have been sitting on top of my TV for the past week, were staring at me.  I know they are good movies, and I'm dying to watch them, but that's OK, because I just raised my book a little higher so I couldn't see the TV, nor the movies anymore!  Ha!


Resistance....you're not going to get me!  The gloves are off, baby! 


Off I go....day #3 complete. 


Over and out!

Day #1 - No TV/No POF

Ok, that was easy.  Day one - over.  I lucked out because right after work I met up with a client for dinner (who shall remain nameless).  I totally forgot about our plans, but he called at 3:00pm at the office, and suggested sushi.

Sushi!

I don't think I could ever turn down a dinner invitation to sushi!  We had:

~Shrimp Tempura

~Peking Duck Crepes

~Yellow-tail in Yuzu

~Salmon tartar

And of course, I had to have my Pomegranate Dragon Martini.  OK - I had two!

By the time I got home, which was around 9:30pm, I was full, and extremely tired.  Monday, I had a one hour and 45 minute drive into work, because I stayed, Sunday night, in Catskill.  Ya, I was pooped.  No time for reading.  Lights out, and I was fast asleep at 9:45pm.
