I’ve long been a person obsessed with place. I want a place that is both beautiful and compelling to be my ‘forever home’ and unfortunately I live in a desert for 9 months out of the year, so no. Presently I am at the X-Mansion and writing out this blog. That, my dear readers, is a fantastic location. Set aside the interior (which I have yet to visit in all of these years of visits) the wooded walk here and the exterior make me feel wonderful. I believe writing is about feeling and about comfort. You have to be in the right state of mind to build out these amazing worlds and to tell stories that move people. I love places like this because they get me going. They trigger the imagination–the what if?
I also love crowded spaces because they close me deeper into myself yet, at the same time, give me an out if I want to look around and see the world. When I’m in an office that out is my phone. This is never as useful or productive as watching real people. It is in fact quite distracting and detrimental and… hard to turn off.
Anyway, I’m just going on now. How about…
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Trump says new talks are Iran’s ‘last chance’ to make a deal” Or what? Like seriously? Are we gonna Nuke them? Are we bringing in ground troops? They are really messing with the dude’s head.
- The upside of the Hulk appearance is that he actually got HULK big. Been a while. Wondering where we’re going with all of that…
