running out of ideas, part 1

ok, i have one hour to write this entry. what do i write about? i have no idea. remember that article about good ideas coming to you when you're bored? there's probably some truth to that. i am too damn busy with absolutely nothing of importance, and i am totally out of any ideas. nothing. this is happening way too frequently. no one is emailing or facebooking me so don't even try. but isn't this being bored thing just an excuse? people push through things to get their shit done and "unable to be bored" seems to be worst excuse ever. yes, it's probably an excuse. but i still need to find something to write about. i could explore the big questions, but i don't have time to think and digest. that takes like half a day. i need to come up with something to fulfill my daily quota. doesn't this defeat the purpose? just writing something to fill a quota? anyone can write to fill a quota. well, no, the secret to success is constant practice right? so this is my daily practice. but i thought you already surrendered success. oh right. the secret to something is practice. that makes a ton of sense, thank you. i can't believe this, you're actually writing on how you're running out of ideas? that's possibly the worst idea ever. you're trying to be reasonably good, not filling a quota. sure, but what the heck am i supposed to do when i have nothing to write about? it happens, calm down. the more you're trying to think of something, the less these things will come. relax man. ok. if you chase too hard after the girl, she's going to run away. so, give chase sometimes, other times, let things be. sometimes, it's ok to let the mind take a random walk.
