I sit here pressing f5, f5, f5…what do I do? What can I do? Why am I so involved in the uninvolved? Why is it like crack to me to get that hit, to get that digit up on the counter and know that I’ve been seen? I’m open for your viewing pleasure, but it’s not you I’ve opened up for, is it? It was really for me. To satisfy the question I had to answer. The polls are out, the verdict’s in. I was right. Now what do I do?
I think I’ll write some more. I’ll write because that’s what feeds this high. I’ll write because that’s what brings the hits. I think I’ll write some more.
Journal entry number one: Today I made a pot roast. I chopped up the onions and minced the garlic. I minced. I know what that is, had to look it up, but I know what it actually means. I hate to live generally. I can’t work right if I don’t know what it is I’m working toward. Anyway, I minced two cloves of garlic and tossed it in with two carrots and four potatoes. It was good. Garrett liked it; actually, he asked for the recipe. I told him, aside from the basics, I also added water, lemon juice, red peppers, chili peppers, salt, pepper, green onions, vinegar, and seasoned meat tenderizer.
It’s a dull life, but I do it every day.
Also, on top of that amazing cooking feat, I made a crab salad. When I was looking up ideas for what to do with the crab I bought yesterday, I typed in “crap.” I didn’t mean to, and let me tell you, I had a hysterical reaction toward Google’s responses. I minced again. I actually used a lot of the same ingredients: peeled carrot, minced garlic, onion, lemon juice, vinegar. I haven’t tried it yet, but I bet it’ll be good.
It’s a dull life, but I do it every day.
Not the cooking thing. I don’t do that everyday. I do the dull life thing every day, though. It’s called life, and it’s as boring as you want it to be. I guess I could go into the process of doing my job, wearing the uniform, writing analysis, or staying in shape, but it’s all really quite boring to me.
It’s my life, and I do it every day.

your typing in crabs to google without thinking made me giggle. it’s definitely something i would find myself doing.
honestly, sometimes i plan my whole day around what meal will be made. and that’s the highlight. that defines my day.
i appreciated your entry. keep livin’ the life.
Interesting: you’re wondering whether a make-believe world will give you feed-back on a make-believe life…that’s the artist painting a portrait of the artist in Urbis terms. Would anyone want to read this? Online, sure – we love to know that someone else is having as boring a life as we are, it makes us feel better. In the wider world? You have a hook – life’s boring for this person you’ve created…now what?
what a quirky blog. i liked it. (= it’s too bad your life is boring, but couldn’t you be as random and adventurous in life as you were with this blog? i loved your junkie comparison to writing online somewhere like urbis here. gotta have a response – i just wanna know someone read me! i feel ya, and i enjoyed reading it. i would hope if you’re gonna write a book that this’d be towards the beginning and not the end. best to you, and thanks for posting this. (=
As a journal entry, it’s quite an interesting read, and a window into the mind of you, the writer. Myself, yes, I’m interested in reading this type of thing because it’s generally more real and honest than other types of writing. Others may not agree, but writing what you mean and meaning what you write is more important than anything else. Nicely done, with no real writing mistakes to critique.
yes, believe it or not, poeple really do want to hear about you, just you, cooking, cleaning, working out, making faces at your boyfriends back, whatever it is that makes up your day. but we want to hear what you THINK about it all too--even the mundane--and i liked the way you switched it up at the end there with ‘it’s a dull life’ to ‘it’s my life’, it’s poetry. and people want to hear it.
I liked the cooking story part particularly as I love cooking and I’m guilty of the same thing, using similar herbs and spices.
I’m not sure if I agree with the writing thing, as I write because I enjoy it. I also enjoy reviewing. This does pass time though and it does get rid of bordom. Most writers do write to satisfy themselves, but sometimes we write to share the beauty around us too.
I guess we all do life every day until we die, you should post that as a quote too. I suggest adding a space between the questions in the first para. LoL on the crap thing, I once typed in farts and laughed my head off.
I see nothing wrong in typing about the daily aspects of living, Not everything in life is exciting.
