A Pinch of Kindness

I've been wanting to do this for a long time, so I think I will. Inspired by the strength of the people on givesmehope.com, the next time I go to WalMart, I will bring a hot cup of tea, a paper plate of muffins, and my biggest coat to give to a homeless man that sits underneath the road light on the knoll in front of my neighborhood WalMart's parking lot. He's been sitting there for months with a sign that says "Homeless-- cannot find job", and I've always felt this ache to help him in the only way I really can--by giving him some kindness. I won't give him any money, since I don't know if he's the kind of homeless guy that would use it to buy drugs or booze, but I'll still give him the food and coat, and I'll give him a note along with it, saying "enjoy. :)"

There was another homeless man that sat there before him, but I think he either died, moved on, or finally found a job. I wonder what happened. I also wonder wonder if this man was the victim of this failing economy, and that makes me sad, but quite glad that he still has the determination to go out there every day to that same spot and ask for help, without being afraid of people who might hurt him, or getting kicked off of his post. I pray that he is warm tonight.

Guys, I need help, yet again!

I have had writer's block for a record FOUR MONTHS, now! I need inspiration! Can you lovelies please help me by giving me interesting topics, paintings, books, poems, or otherwise to help inspire me? I'm getting very depressed from my lack of creativity as of late, as well as my perceived flowery style that I evidentaly must change. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Remember, Remember the... 2nd of November

Hi-ho, all! Updates on life, ahoy!


I'm scraping along to finish my now-year-old musical, which has ten pages left for me to finish writing in between-song dialogue. Heavens to Betsy, when will it all end?!?!?!?

Ahem.

After I've finished my musical, I can begin the same process of writing dialogue and stage directions on my courtesan opera, Agostina. I'm so looking forward to that. And after that, I can start, well, everything, on my Roman opera, the unofficially named Cover Not My Eyes. In the meantime, I'm trying to finish off my poetry project, which has 28 styles left. That should take until next June to finish, at the most, if my inspiration comes back any time soon.

I'm also helping my friend Jake write a play about four friends in early '60's Liverpool, finding out about themselves as they scramble to survive in the dingy economy of the time. This is coming along easily, since I am the dialect/history adviser, and I love the '60's and am familiar with the Scouse Liverpudlian dialect.


Hm... What else, what else...? Musical, check. Opera, check. Other opera, check. Poetry, check... That's it? That seems fishy. OH! My novel. That's on hiatus, since I'm trying to find a way to make it more engaging and not so long-in-the-tongue. Yep.

I made a new YouTube video, since I'm bored: [link] Comments and ratings are appreciated.

Happy November! Christmas is in a month.

Cute guys... from past and present.

Time to turn in your interpretations of my characters (besides *Seimon-Yumiko, because she has an excuse to go beyond the time limit). I can't wait to see 'em!
