Crossroads

I am really digging several websites right now, and as long as they continue to be in existence, I will continue to follow them. One is brainpickings.org. It is an intellect's delight, as well as the artist or really anyone culturally curious or otherwise. Today there was an article posted that referred to the original "Mad Men", David Ogilvy. I had been having writers block for quite some time now. What should I talk about, and thinking about how good the other blogs are I read. They seem to have flow, and structure, and intent with each paragraph. Alas, like my life at the moment, chaos ensues. So be it. The one point I took out of the article is that you should never write more than two pages on any one subject. Tell that to Ayn Rand or any of my professors or someone writing a thesis. Ok ok ok, so there are certain times one must be held accountable for more than two pages. For right now, that is going to serve me well, because it means writing on my blog is no longer daunting.
