Well, I'm sitting here next to my stove, relaxing with a good 2:00 AM cup of coffee, planning my next movie script. Nothing real serious, just doing some mental doodling at the moment. I think I'll write a comedy this time. It's always been a dream of mine to write something of the same caliber as some of Mel Brooks hits, or even airplane or Top Secret. Something fun, but with a plot. Something that makes you laugh your butt off but still leave the theatre feeling like you've watched a movie. I don't know if I have those seeds of greatness in me, but it's fun to try anyway. I still haven't given up on the script I sent to Amazon, but it needs a lot of rework and tonight I'm in far to frivolous a mood to think seriously. I just spent the last hour or so joking around with the kids. It's good to see them laugh. It's been a rough couple of months so the moments of levity have been few and far between. It's snowing like crazy out again tonight, looks like we've got at least 6 more inches and it's still coming down like crazy. I finished the last of my behavioral science class. I passed..I think, which is a minor miracle in itself with everything that's been going on in the last month. I'm not really sure what's changed in the last few days. All the problems we've been having are still there, it's still winter out, maybe it's because I'm finally feeling better, but I've been suddenly feeling like everything is going to be okay. I can see in colors again, everything isn't just shades of grey anymore. Sure, it's not bright, gleaming Vegas technicolor, but there's definitely a glimmer I've been missing for a while. I think if we can make it through March we'll be all right. March is, for those of you that didn't know, the one year anniversary of my wife passing away. It's also, on St. Patrick's day, what would have been our 14th wedding anniversary. I still miss you horribly, Glenda, but I have a feeling you're urging me to get on with my life somehow. I was actually amazed the other day, I looked at the statistics for this blog and I saw I've had readers from as far away as Russia, Brazil, Indochina and Germany. I'm not sure what drew you to my site or how you found it, but thank you for reading and I hope I'm at least mildly entertaining you! I'd also like to say thanks to everyone who has left me comments on here. I know I've been horrible about responding to you and for that, I'm sorry. Know that I DO read them, though and I appreciate all the feedback! I know, I'm rambling a bit. What can I say, it's 2:10 AM, I'm drinking coffee and staring at a computer. Can you honestly tell me you wouldn't ramble at least a little bit? I've had some requests for pictures and I haven't gotten around to posting any yet. Honestly, as soon as I dig around and figure out how I'll put some up for everyone to see. Maybe I'll even tag in some of the wilderness survival videos I've been pondering filming. That's right, a very good friend of mine suggested that I should film some videos about survival out here in the great white and I suppose maybe I should. I guess I've ripped on the fake television shows enough that I should either make something better or shut up. Again, still in the planning process, but we'll see. I guess my problem is I don't consider myself a survival 'expert' but, I've managed to not die stupidly even though I live out here all the time so I suppose that's as good a criteria as an expert as any. Oh well, enough rambling for the moment. I think I'm going to finish my coffee, jot down a few more site gags and head for bed. Tomorrow is another day and for a change I'm actually looking forward to waking up. Have a great rest of the weekend everyone!
