Hogwash!

Okay.

I have a confession to make.

Sometimes, I use a topic generator.

Sometimes I get home and I'm so tired- on every level- that everything that comes out of my brain is complete hogwash. The only thoughts I can muster are grunts, and that's being generous. But I know if I don't write at least a little every night, I will be worthless at my craft by the time I actually have enough free time to practice it as I desire. On these nights, I turn to a topic generator for free writing. This stuff never gets published because it's usually, as I said before, hogwash.

Google seriously has an image for everything.

America, I'm Disappointed

Dear America,

I know we've come a long way. Civil Rights, Sufferage, etc. We have cars that make it possible to live really far from where we work. One hundred and fifty years ago it took months to cross the country. Now, thanks to the miracle of flight, we can do that in a few hours.

But lets face it. We're slacking.

See this?

This is heaven. And right now, I have to DRIVE! All the way to the store. Now, Amazon.com recently unveiled their plan to have drones ready to deliver items to us in just 30 minutes in five years. But five years is too long. We need to get cracking on this. Can we have some volunteers help Amazon pick up the pace on this? You could put it on your resume as "Community Service". Trust me. It would be.

It would also make drones a little less scary. Instead of seeing one and thinking "Poop! I'm about to have a mistel shot at me!", people would think "Yummy!". 

I now have a new world peace plan. The whole "food not bombs" thing didn't work. Because beans aren't particularly delicious. But cheesecake... Cheesecake could change the world.
