Pants.

So, for whatever reason, I have a strong urge to write. Problem is, there isn't a single topic I feel like writing about. My life is pretty much in Limbo at the moment, so there isn't much I can go into at this point in time. Today is Easter, but my brain isn't allowing me to wax philosophical. Even though I am slightly decaffeinated at the moment (there's coffee in the pot, but I have yet to pour it into my cup), my health is pretty much good to go. Even the migraine that has been touch and go over the past week is currently at bay (thank God!). Even the weather isn't doing anything impressive.

This, as my fellow artists know, happens. It's not quite writer's block, because the urge to create is there, but it's completely void of inspiration or even direction. Instead of ignoring the urge (which I highly recommend never doing), I'm going to put words on my page until something strikes my fancy. This post, in full honesty, is about absolutely nothing. Which means you're about to indulge upon my most random thoughts. Here goes:

"I never said it would be easy, I just said it would be worth it." People associate this quote with Jesus. Yet, it was Mae West who said it. True story.

I admit that I miss living in Texas, but only aspects of it. And I could never live there full time ever again. If I were to ever become wealthy enough, I would divide half the year to living in the Pacific Northwest (either Washington or Oregon. Perhaps even British Columbia) and the other have in the San Antonio area of Texas. That way I would have the best of both worlds.

I love to travel. To the extent that I try and leave the state at least once a year. This year, it's also my goal to finally get a passport.

While I have spent most of my adult life as a perpetual bachelor, I would have no problems settling down and even getting married. The big issue with this is, well, I'm exceedingly independent. I'm also a rather stubborn individual. Both of these make me rather difficult to love; and I am the first to admit this. 

The American Civil War has never interested me. Actually, most of the 19th century American history I could care less about.  Basically any time between the end of the War of 1812 and the presidency of Theodore Roosevelt bores me to tears. As much as I love history, I'm okay with not knowing much about this time period. On the flipside, the late 1800's England is rather fascinating.

Levi Spears Parmly, a dentist from New Orleans, is credited with inventing the first form of dental floss in 1815. Have you flossed today? I haven't.

Cuba is the only island in the Caribbean to have a railroad. Which means even Jamaica doesn't have a railroad.

11% of the world is left-handed. I am part of the 11%.

On average, two newborns will be given to the wrong parents every single day. That's rather disconcerting, if you stop and think about it.

Beethoven dipped his head in cold water before he composed. Since he was deaf, the water in his ears helped him feel the vibrations coming from the piano.

At latitude 60 degrees south, you can sail all the way around the world.

Ok, the urge is gone. I bid you all a good day and I hope you are having a wonderful Easter. Until next time, I bid you ado.
