I have writer’s block. It’s actually quite disappointing seeing as I’ve only made three posts on my blog so far. I tried getting some suggestions from friends, but none of the ideas really got me excited.
One of my friends told me to write about Uno, the card game. I considered it, but decided against it. The game actually pisses me off. There’s no really strategy to it. It’s really just the luck of the draw. The “ultimate” card is supposedly the Draw 4 card. Once you have that it’s like you’re in a room with a bag full of money in the middle, a bunch of people going after it, and you’re the only one with a gun. But oh wait, you can’t use the gun to scare someone unless you give them a mean look, then threaten them verbally, then get into a physical altercation. F*** that. Be efficient. Pull out the gun, scare those people, get the money and walk out. Although, the flip side to that is when someone throws a Draw 4 down on you. Has that ever happened to you? You just called Uno in your previous turn, you’re about to win, and some jerk puts down a Draw 4. It’s like getting punched in the throat. Wow, I sound really violent. I should stop talking like this. I love orange roses and yellow tulips.
The other suggestion I got was to write about what super power I would want to have. Again I pondered, but didn’t feel inspired. I go through my phases of what I would want my super power to be. When I was younger, I wanted to be like Alex Mack. How cool would it be if I could zap things and then melt into a puddle? Then I saw Matilda, and wanted her super powers. Oh, how I wish I could solve complex multiplication problems in my head...correctly, that is. Okay, this one really isn’t a super power, but after I saw Aladdin, I started trying to push in bathroom tiles and brick walls to see if one would fall through and lead me to the Cave of Wonders. I’m serious, I really did. After considering my options of the plethora of super heroes we have in our society, I chose Batman. Why, you ask? He’s human that’s why; he’s the only “real” option if I wanted to be a super hero, and because contrary to popular belief, I can’t warp into a puddle no matter how hard I try. I could totally have the same “super powers” as Batman if I tried. I would, of course, give myself a different super hero name. I suppose this is where I would tell you my clever super hero name, but honestly, I just can’t think of one right now.
So you see my dilemma. I really need to come up with something clever to write about. Uno and super powers just don’t make the cut. I’m going to try to get inspired; I’ll keep you guys posted.
