It’s almost 11:00PM, I need to write. The Yankees are losing. I don’t have much to say about that except, “cool.” I got a flu shot today and I think I have some aches because of it but I don’t feel like talking much more about that. I had a good day at work and didn’t wake up pissed off this morning, which was great. Hit the gym, went to improv rehearsal, ate a burrito. It was a good day but leaves me with little to write about.

So, I googled blog post writing prompts. I found a couple of good articles with some great ideas. The only problem is, I did a fair amount of them. Write about a day in the life. Did it.Write a letter to your younger self. Did it. Write about an influential teacher. Did it. Twice.

I watched Tig last night (write about an influential movie: doing it). It was about Tig Notaro’s life before and after her cancer diagnosis and and her legendary set about it at Largo, Live. She couldn’t keep going with her killer set that starts with, “I have cancer.” She had to start from scratch while having more attention on her than ever before. She would get on stage knowing that she had nothing but push through anyway.

That’s kind of where I am. I’ve written about most of the things that I might write about in a blog about myself. I’ve complained about all the things I could complain about. I’ve talked about my daily life. I don’t know what else I’ve got at the moment. So, I’m just going to pause here and think about what I normally write about.

My Parents

I talk about them a lot. I think the first blog post I wrote that anyone really read was about them. I’ve written quite a few about them since. I like that they always pop up in other posts because they’re always on my mind.

Anxiety

Sharing my thoughts about anxiety is a great way to purge myself of anxiety. I’ve done this quite a bit too.

Hypochondria

I started this post mentioning my flu shot. I could also probably talk about my hip some more and my worry that I’ll miss the New Orleans Jazz Half again. But I’ll spare you. I’ll save it for another illness on another day.

My Career

I’ve written about web development, Cornell, chemical engineering and all of the disappointments therein. Things are going well at work these days, though. So, that’s kind of a dead end.

Movies/Books/TV

I’ll continue to do this. I’m just not that inspired right now. A Simple Favor was pretty cool, though. Directed by Paul Feig, starring Anna Kendrick and a surprisingly good Blake Lively, it’s worth seeing in the theater.

Comedy

Another one of my most popular posts ever, next to the ones about my parents, was about comedy. Hopefully comedy will always be part of my life, so, I’ll continue to write about it.

New York Life

19 years, man. I’ll always have something to say about my life here.

Running

This is new but, if all goes well, I’ll be writing about my first marathon next year.

So, that’s kind of where I am at the moment. I don’t know where else to go. I don’t know what else to tell you. I just hope I’m not repeating myself. I’ve written so much this year, I can’t keep track. Maybe I need to recharge, find some kind of inspiration from an unexpected source. But for now, this post is done. And that’s all I’ve got for today.
