1:32 AM - creative writing exercise How would you complete the phrase: I never feel I should be doing anything else when I am…? I always feel as if I should be doing something else, when I am cooking I feel like I should be cleaning up. When I am dancing, I feel like I have to pee. When I am working, I feel like I should be playing. But when I am laying in the ocean or floating in the air there is no where else I would rather be. I feel like I should be doing other things but I wouldn't rather be doing those things. When I am indulging in my fantasies, I get interrupted with parental duties or rent or or bills and the pain comes back and then fantasy dissapates. When I am writing, I wonder who is going to read this and are they going to pick it apart and throw it back at me. But just for a moment, let's go there. Let's hop on the Fred, my imaginary old vw bus, and go for a ride. A ride that has no destination but experience, and no return date in mind. Up and then down the pacific coast we go, camping and adventuring mixed with lazy days of basking in the sun on the oceans shore. And once upon a time we reach the tip of baja and pick up a sailboat and sail across the sea to the Mexican coast and keep venturing into all the South American countries, stopping and meeting people all along the way. Making friends, learning about other ways of life, other ways of seeing the world and sharing fun and good times. Ahh what a nice dream for me to fall asleep too tonight.
