The Single Line Project

The Single Line Project

A line each day to create a poem and start writing and blogging again.

Keep an eye out (20120829)
They're hiding in the cutting grass (20120901)
Wait lay us down to rest (in peace) (20120902)
Rise before the sun and run!! (20120904)
Utterly overwhelmed (20120905)
Praised for what we must become (20120907)
Sleeping one eye opened for the sun (20120914)
Hidden like a child behind closed eyes (20120917)
As they plant the disease in us all (20120918)
Dreams keep me far from sleep (20120919)
Writhing to escape (20120920)
Forgetting the projected goals (20120929)
I haven't the energy for sleep (20120930)
When all things lost become found (20121001)
Under the blinding artificial lights (20121002)
Withdrawal to the peace of the mountains above (20121004)
Returning to be violently dismissed (20221005)
The painkillers now sleep me through the days (20121007)

As you can see by the dates, this didn't entirely work out. I wasn't disciplined enough to write every day. I ended up forgetting for a couple days, then I'd remember, then I'd forget again. I tracked everything in Evernote.
In the end, I forgot. The last two lines refer to drugs I was prescribed for an injury I received after returning from vacation. That led to my forgetting to write before I became too busy to remember.

I'm open to any comments and improvement ideas for taking on a future project if you think there may be a better way than Evernote.
I'm also just interested to know and hear from anyone who might be reading this.

Missed

I miss blogging so much!!
I miss writing!!

I just spent the afternoon writing product reviews on Amazon. I finally figured out how to pull up a list of all of my previous purchases and I've slowly just been chipping away at them. The last review I wrote was for The Legend of Zelda: The Skyward Sword. That reminded me that I planned on blogging about the game early this year when I beat it. I think that was in February or March.
Lately I have been wanting to play the game again.

I also need to finish setting up the computer I built to use as a home media and backup server. Haven't blogged about that at all either.

... The next morning...

That was a crazy dream.
It started out in what seemed to be a bar on a cruise ship. At first I was hanging out, but then I was a waiter. Then all the people there were people I knew from my past, but had never been particularly close with. We had never really connected or been friends, and they were all females. Some from Ruby Tuesday (bar), then some from gymnastics (the ones I was serving), then one person from elementary school who later turned onto a person I know from work who looks like the person from elementary school. In the dream, after she became the person from work,  she was preparing to deploy for some muscle/strength/body building competition and she looked super buff and creepy. That part was weird.

It was actually a really cool place though. It was compact, like a cruise or RV (motor home), but it was made of wood and the entrance was under conduction.
The whole place was built into a hill and some construction workers were digging a hole to build the entrance. Further down there was a secret trap door entrance that led to a room with a huge glass ceiling with a beautiful tree outside. It was also extremely windy outside. At one point I pointed out a wind tunnel spiraling around the hill.

That's about it.
