In a slump

I'm in a major slump creatively. I'm not used to this. Usually, I consider myself a pretty creative guy.

I like to write, I like to come up with ideas. OK, so I'm not so good at the "follow through." I usually have ideas-a-plenty but they rarely, if ever, see the light of day.

So I haven't posted here in like a week, but it hasn't been for lack of trying. I just can't even come up with anything to write. Then it happened.

Sometimes, Jeni and I have a backup of things to watch on our Tivo (which isn't actually a "tivo" but the Cox DVR version but I think it's easier just to say Tivo.)

Last night we had Studio 60 and the MTV movie awards waiting for us. So Studio 60 is probably one of my favorite shows. I hate that it isn't coming back. It is so well written and funny. OK, so it might not be the quickest moving show on tv, but it is really, really good. Last weeks episode was especially powerful. Good stuff.

Then on to the MTV awards, which were painful to watch. Thankfully we watched the two hour show in like half an hour, thank you fast forward. But the Mike Meyers moment was actually pretty cool.

Seeing all of his movies and characters reminded me of just how much a part of my life he has been. I know that sounds weird, but seriously, since I was like, 15 Mike has been making movies that make me laugh. And repeat. My favorite, "So I Married an Axe-Murderer." So funny, so under appreciated.

All of this pointed out just how dry this creative dry spell has been. I think I just need to get started on something, even if it isn't good, even if I end up hating it, just so I can get the rust off.

This has been my longest post. Thank you for letting me whine.
