So, there I was... I was standing there in front of the refrigerator. I had the frozen banana guacamole in one hand and the car keys in the other. So I obviously must have accidently dropped those little fuckers in there.
SHIT! They're not there.
And hey, who stole my frozen banana guacamole?
George Carlin was a genius. Of course, that ain't verbatim, but you get the point. I don't know why that was sandblasted into my brain today. I haven't rewatched any George Carlin concerts recently. In fact, I can honestly say, I haven't done so this year!
But that whole bit was there as bright as my eyes could see: this taunting cursor in the midst of the blank screen. I've been fooling myself; it's one of my writings. But, I digress.
Why did I bring up a more than 40-year-old piece of comedy gold?
No fuckin' reason. That's not true. I do it to look back at something coming up on ten years since it was last visited.
It just needed to get something out in the world again. There are so many unfinished stories here on SOL, and we have no idea why! (Well, except for some of those that have like a REALLY good reason, why.) But hear me out. I've been looking for some inspiration and I went back along a list I had saved a long ass time ago of stories I've either started and reached their stopping point or I want to start but I don't know if I should.
Typically, I'd just push that idea outta my head and go find some new MILF porn and bide my time with a sixer o'Shiner. You know, like all growing boys should. But for some reason, it followed me all weekend.
No, this isn't another not-so-veiled attempt to egg Cold Creek into giving us another chapter in the adventures of everyone's favorite genius, model, Michigan hockey playin', international super spy! Although he really should!
I looked back at a story I hadn't read in a while and thoroughly enjoyed myself in the process. Hell, I'm even reminded that I've placed it on my list of favourite stories on my author's page here on SOL.
The author, Random Writings, has only blessed SOL with a single story, but it is one I wanted so much when it was being posted. And its 9.13 score places it in the higher echelon of stories here on SOL. (Don't come at me; I know not all the good stories on this site have super high scores, but if they do, then they do.) But alas, Random Writings has fallen by the wayside. I hope not permanently.
So I'm putting this out there in the ether once again. It's my vain attempt to revisit some of my recent past. Random Writings, why not hit us with the next chapter in your totally excellent "The Private?" Come on, you know you wanna.
If not for yourself, then please, I say with all sincerity, do it for the children.
