Unbelievable

The most amazing thing happened to me today. It is so unbelievable, I am not sure if I can even write about it. Since I am an aspiring fiction writer, you may just think I am making it up. Forget about that for a minute because this is absolutely true.

This morning I had an early meeting which for me is the equivilent of a root canal. Waking up at an obnoxiously early time, I stumbled into the kitchen and brewed a pot of coffee. The sweet jolt of caffiene almost made up for the lack of sleep. After my second cup, I made my way to the bathroom to begin my morning routine.

Then it happened, I ran out of shaving cream. That's right. Just seven weeks after posting my critically acclaimed blog Shaving Cream, my can of Barbosol sputtered and died. There's another $.99 down the drain. I mean really, the can only lasted eight or nine months. That means my total shaving cream expenditure for 2006 is $1.98. It's a crime, I tell you.

Idea: Let's forget about pursuing the development of hydrogen vehicles. Let's work on a vechile that runs on shaving cream. It would solve all our problems with Mideast oil, corroded pipelines, high gas prices and global warming. Enough of this blogging crap, I have to get to the lab to get working on this. I'll let you know when the Nobel committee contacts me. I can hardly wait.

Isn't it amazing what gets in the way of writing the next great novel :-) (I recognise procrastination when I see it! Now get back to writing!)

It's true, I haven't been writing much lately. But it hasn't been procrastination. No, really I mean it. It is so uncool when my day job interferes with my home life. But it happens to all of us I guess.
