| Kentucky Flying Chicken |
Shake me down
Not a lot of people left around
Who knows now
Softly laying on the ground, ooooh
Not a lot people left around, ooooh
In my life, I have seen
People walk into the sea
Just to find memories
Plagued by constant misery
Their eyes cast down
Fixed upon the ground
Their eyes cast down
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
In my past, bittersweet
There's no love between the sheets
Taste the blood, broken dreams
Lonely times indeed
With eyes cast down
Fixed upon the ground
Eyes cast down
I'll keep my eyes fixed on the sun
~ Cage The Elephant
Sinclair Lewis was invited to talk to some students about the writer’s craft.
He stood at the head of the class and asked, “How many of you here are really serious about being writers?” A sea of hands shot up. Lewis then asked, “Well, why aren't you all at home writing?”
And with that he walked out of the room.

ReplyDeleteI hope you didn't stick around after that. Getting camera angles to be just right IS hard work!!!
ReplyDeleteSo you're saying I should quit my job?
ReplyDeleteHmmm...
Hmm I guess I should go home huh?
ReplyDeleteStop reading this! Get back to work!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a way to end with class. BTW...where are you now? And what's with the pic? Can barely see ya?
ReplyDeleteThis was awfully short for a writer. I wrote a story once. I should find it and send it to you for your critique. Don't steal it!!
ReplyDeleteDaft Scots Lass,
ReplyDelete...with their mouths?!
Rafa,
i don't stick around to take responsibility for, or to see the carnage after, anything i've done.
Kevie,

Oilfield Daddy,

Copyboy,

Mike,

Tell me why, when you posted about horses on my blog, that I automatically thought of you and me conquering the countryside like on Brokeback Mountain?
ReplyDeleteBrokeback Mountain. That's all I got.

Hed,
ReplyDelete*sob* i am honored to play heath legder to your jake gyllenhall. oh no, wait, he's dead, isn't he? let's both just be alive, uber gay cowboys.
and that movie was actually filmed here where i live, around calgary and banff. i think that is a good portent for our bright future together, don't you? :)
Well now I have two reasons to respect that guy. The other being that there isn't horsemeat in my burger.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I like this mostly because it excuses me having no job. I'm going to go back to writing in my underwear now... pass the ramen noodles, k?
