Streaming Thoughts

I’ve never done this before.

I’m going to write this entire blog post without any preconcieved ideas about what to write about.

Hold on.  Tyler is talking to me.

Anyway, I’m going to see what happens if I just start writing.  One time I was advised by a very well known writer to do this.  Apparently the best… hold on – Tyler is talking to me again.

So, I was taught that if I feel stuck when writing, the best thing to do is to just write.

Now I’m thinking about how strong of an after taste the banana had that I just ate.  My mouth seriously taste terrible – not in a way that resembles a banana, but more like I just ate the banana peel.

Should I go back and correct grammar errors?  Or should I just keep going.  I think I’m going to just keep going.

I’m with Tyler in a green room right now – we are hosting a conference in Atlanta called “Do Good” – speaking of bad grammar.  Shouldn’t it be called “Do Well?”

Hold on.  I just got a text.

I was asked if I need anything from Trader Joes – Do I?  I love their Ginger Ale.  I’m serious – it’s amazing, and it has 0 calories and 0 sugar. Which makes it just carbonated water.  I have no idea what the flavor is made of.  But, you should try it.  It’s the shizz.

I’m wearing the same shirt that I wore the last two times I hosted something.

Hold on.  I’m going to tell Tyler what I’m doing.  I asked him if he wanted to say anything.  He said, “I’ll think about it” I don’t think he realizes that is really the only rule here.  You can’t think about it first.

Now he’s holding out his hand asking me to “give him some skin”  I think he want’s a five.  What if I literally gave him some skin – a really big piece – like I peeled off my entire back and gave it to him.

This blog sucks.  Time to post.

    I'm pretty sure this style of writing is called "Stream of Unconsciousness."

    Hey Tripp, that's basically my day at work. Be sure to give Pat Mac (code name that is very similar to his real name) a super big high five. He's the guy running production at Do Good and works endless hours to make you look funny and he loves it (actually you are pretty funny but you have to admit all those lights and sound effects help).

    Tripp, sucks is such a strong word. There were nice moments in this post. If anything we learned about Trader Joe's Ginger Ale. Never had it but it sounds magical.

    I'm wondering what I'm going to watch now that I've finished watching After Hours. I'm kind of hungry, too, but I don't feel like going out to get food, and all I have to eat in my apartment is protin shakes. I've had 4 today. That's it. It's way too early to go to sleep (6:57). I want to see Super 8 this weekend, but I don't know if I'll feel like going to see it. Sinus problems suck.

    It's about 74° in my apartment. I know because that's where the thermostat is set.

    1700 titles in my library, and I don't have any clue what I want to watch. That is sad. Not sad in a "starving children" kind of way, of course. I don't know any starving children in Africa. or on any continent, but I know they exist.

    That was awesome. Would only another blogger understand? I laughed at this pretty hard.

    I love it. A streaming reply. 1700 titles????
