Double trouble

Should I really have two blogs? I suppose one (this one, cough cough) is more interesting that the other. I suppose posting daily in each would be good for me, or just ever so often in this one and daily in the other.

Since I have nothing else to say
Here is the current intro to my short story, "The Cure."

John Halloway lived a good life. Born in 2011, John was loved by his family, and quickly made friends. When he was old enough to go to school, John excelled in classes and graduated at the age of 20 with a degree in engineering. He went on to acquire a Master's, and then a Doctoral degree. John married a beautiful woman, Irene, and they proceeded to birth three gorgeous children. John advanced the fields of both engineering and physics before his sudden heart attack at nineteen seconds into 15:27, on July 12th, in the year 2053. John Halloway posthumously became the most famous person in recent history. John was the last human who ever died.

Rain

Rain is one of those things that you can rarely count on, here in Los Angeles. Forecasters will say there's an 80% chance. Three days later there is a drizzle. I think sometimes we take for granted the abundance and forget what made us so in the first place.

Table for one

Here I sit, table for one at Applebees. I wonder if people pity you for being a party of one. I'm not depressed or sad. I just want a classic clubhouse grille, and I want it now, when my friends are busy.
But everyone treats me with an extra dose of kindness.
Even if humanity is inherently evil and flawed, I think we inherit empathy and sympathy!

Trash on the way to west

We get things, we make things, we use things, and if we drop things it's a crime. I'm not endorsing litter, but at the same time it seems to me there is a self-imposed divide between us and the rest of the world, where anything seemingly 'unnatural' is unwelcome. Cellphone towers are made to look like trees, electric boxes are painted green to blend in... the biggest divide appears to be in our minds.
