This site stagnated a lot time ago. I'm going to start anew, in a way that I think will help to increase clarity of thoughts, innovation in ideas, and self-confidence. I'm writing the site "from scratch" with a bit of help from Dreamweaver. I'm hoping for a bare bones skeleton to be completed in about a week's time, and you'll be able to find it at www.ecbasil.com.
The ideas for this site and the postings I want to make are coming at me so rapidly they're currently tumbling over one another in my head. I'm looking forward to this. |
Been suffering from writer's block for roughly two years now. I think it shows in the number of posts that occured over that time period. Not quite sure when the drought is going to end. In fact, I think it's merely been getting drier and drier, bit by bit, since my junior year of high school.
Some people use the trivalities of the workplace to create witticisms. (Clerks and Dilbert probably being two best examples.) Instead the corporate world seems to drag me down into blandness, effectively killing my creative spark if there ever was one. Heck, I even had to delegate designing an agenda template out to one of my associates.
So the bottom line is that I truly feel as if I have nothing meaningful to say. If I ever come up out of this I'll start posting again. |

there are those kinds of songs
those songs that you want piped straight into your ears
so that nothing is lost
and it is for you, you alone. |
"The idea is that we live in an unserious society -- a cheesy, down-market, least-common-denominator, embarrassing sort of place. And if you need evidence, the thinking goes, just look at the media." -Willam Powers, "But Serious" in the National Journal
Railing against this, seeing it when I read my own employer's pubs, screaming internally when my boss tells me my writing is too formal. Where should we be formal if not in our business lives? Let us not pander folks. |

living in a city so big you can't ever quite wrap your arms around it, working at a corporation so big the same is true.

And hence, I stopped writing in August. I, however, might now be ready to begin anew.

The word on everyone's tongues today has been fall. I've nodded in silent agreement, but thought to myself, me, well, I'm just thankful for right now.

"why do they always teach us that it's easy and evil to do what we want and that we need discipline to restrain ourselves? it's the hardest thing in the world - to do what we want. and it takes the greatest kind of courage. i mean, what we really want." - ayn rand's the fountainhead

The future's freaks me out just a bit. But I came across this last night while tooling around on HBO...
"A career? I've thought about this quite a bit sir and I would have to say considering what's waiting out there for me, I don't want to sell anything, buy anything or process anything as a career. I dont want to sell anything bought or processed or buy anything sold or processed or repair anything sold, bought or processed as a career. I dont want to do that. My father's in the army. He wants me to join, but I can't work for that corporation, so what I've been doing lately is kick-boxing, which is a new sport...as far as career longevity, I dont really know. I cant figure it all out tonight, sir, so I'm just gonna hang with your daughter." ---LLOYD (from "Say Anything")
