Why Is This Saddle So Slippery?

whoa, boy! whoa!

"If you fall of a horse, get right back on it!" -- folk wisdom

Has it really been 30 days since my last article?

It hasn't done me any good. I haven't written any of the other pieces I intended or needed to.

After I haven't done something for a while, I have a hard time getting started again. Okay, I have a hard time starting anything, period. When I start something I don't like to stop. I'm best at things I can do straight through.

Not only did I fall and couldn't get up, I appear to have fallen off the blogging horse and can't find my way back up onto the old nag.

This old grey Nash ain't what he used to be.

Oh, I've had ideas, I just haven't been writing them. I've gotten out of the habit. I've also been having difficulty formulating the thoughts into articles.

I'm theorizing that the only way to shake my malaise is by extensive blogging. (Excuse me while I mock the idea of ever getting beyond my 2-articles-a-week-average rut. Okay, I'm back.)

So, for my next trick I'll attempt to blog more this week -- if only to grease the wheels and jump start the machinery. I may babble more than usual, be less well thought out, and less "article-like" than I tend to be (not necessarily a bad thing for blogging), so bear with me. (Or bare with me if you're so inclined, hourglass shaped, and don't have an Adam's apple or routinely pee standing up.) Then again, I may make a big t'do then not blog again for another month (which would be far more like me).

I'm trying to get back in the saddle, but I swear someone greased the bloody thing!

Technorati: blogging, Gene Nash

Perhaps you should blog about me dear boy. I am the most charismatic man in the world.

scared me for a second cuz when i read the title, i thought maybe it had somethin to do with 'brokeback mountain'.

to paraphrase brother huey (not to mention louie & dewey), 'write on!'

(btw i remember seeing you describe walking through a mall and hearing a young woman saying 'hey, there's gene nash!' or something very similar. amazingly the same thing once happened to me. unfortunately for all concerned (i think), at the time, i had no idea who gene nash was. that didn't stop me from looking around hoping to get a glimpse.)

Back before you decided to leave JU, I had three SPM related articles in mind. I wonder if I can recall what they were?

Even if I have to travel to the library and shove a peasant from in front of his hamster-powered public terminal, I shall be sure to see it.

Great. Now I'm going to get all those tipsy Marlboro Man rejects drunk googling for musky man-love action.

'write on!'

I wrote a first draft for another article earlier tonight. Problem No. 1: How many bloggers are writing multiple drafts of articles? Arrrgh!

I don't know how people type directly into the form, press send, and are done with it.

Don't you people know anything less than 30 drafts is a sign of pure shiftless indifference!!!!!

(Okay, I'm mocking myself.)

'hey, there's gene nash!' or something very similar. amazingly the same thing once happened to me.

That's okay, my entourage would have kept you at a respectful distance anyway. (Disclaimer for those who don't "get" me: That's a joke, folks.)

I honestly don't know why or how I still get recognized at this point. It's been at least 10 years since I've done anything of significance. And it's not like I was ever that well known even then.

And to think, I squandered it all....

Gene, old chap. The exclusive clips are now available at www.sirpetermaxwell.com/empire

You might want to blog about the clips once you have watched them to educate the slothful peasant masses.
