...

I nearly forgot to write anything here today, it was such a relaxing afternoon and evening. I think this whole Project 365 is stupid and pointless. I should just write when I have something to say instead of forcing myself to write crapola like this for y'all to read, which you don't even want to because it's not worthy of reading even.

Alas, poor Blog, I knew it well.

Ugh, don't get me started about writing these stupid blogs!!
Grrrr!!
I was trying to muster up some pep talk crap to toss your way for moral support and inspiration, but then I wondered, hell, he's right! Or, at least, in MY case, he's right!
The idea of writing a blog post every day presumes a lot: that something worthwhile is going on in your life EVERY stinking day.
Well, on those crappy days when you seem to have no insights into anything, maybe just a quick rundown of what you did that day is enough.
Theoretically, I figured a blog by me might be useful from a diary point of view, because I forget, like, EVERYthing. Sometimes there are some things that happen that I think I'll never forget... occasionally, in some of my notebooks (I have several in various states of progress) I'll come across a diary entry that completely doesn't ring a bell, which amazes me. And it's an interesting event, too. Which is both cool and scary.
Also, I was doing some (very minimal) research on the initial inspiration for your 365 project, the Suzan Lori-Parks 365 Days/365 Plays, and I thought, am I reading that right? 365 PLAYS?
Well, I guess she's writing 365 short plays, 1/day. Well, that's insane.
But then I wondered, do YOU ever write any monologues or anything as actorly exercises for yourself to do? I ask only because Quentin Tarantino apparently did that when he was taking acting classes as material for himself to do. Of course, he's a writer. That may be a lot to ask from every actor.
Anyways, if you're open to that sort of thing, that may be an interesting thing to share in a post.
Oh man...
I have apparently NO idea of what to say here... I'm all over the damn place!
Meanwhile, you know that Italian assassin image I talked/messaged to you about? I may try to use that in a comic book series I've been thinking of doing...

thanks for your response.

i have tried writing in the past, because i was required to. it's difficult. especially dialogue. and descriptions. and thoughts. and facts. which is essentially me saying that all writing is difficult.

anyway... go ahead with the comic series, just be sure to credit yours truly. perhaps the hero's name could be Zackmanbeedowlow, which is the origin of Beedow, and also, coincidentally, the name of a comic book hero. ah! now there's a post.

"Zackmanbeedowlow"? Oh man, yeah, you're going to have elucidate more on THAT.

The comic book series idea is the remake of a mini-comic called BLOODHOUND that the friend of a guy I know created and drew, which my friend inked. It's only 8 pages long but it really captured my imagination... which isn't saying much, actually.
But, I'm planning on changing the title for two reasons: there's another comic book series that goes by BLOODHOUND that came out a few years ago (this mini-comic predates it by a decade, I think, but that's besides the point); also, although I plan to credit the creator of the mini-comic permanently as part of the title, I also think I'm envisioning the series in a much more lurid and explicit direction than he ever intended. So, the change in title seems a way to distance this "series" (well, THAT'S presumptious) from him as to not totally embarrass him.

So, this Italian assassin dude might just be perfect for it!
The genre is total action exploitation sleaze.
Which, of course, fits you like a glove.
