((( Srbo ))) you've come (back) to the right place. You'll always find what you need here.. and oh boy, do I remember the first time we met your sweet little lady? You and I both had (not literally :biggrin2: ) babies so close together, they were MB babes and how precious was that? :love:

((( BeverleyMarsh ))) some great advice there. (That video was brilliant!) I'm wishing you happier too. :love:
Thank you Flake:biglove:

You know, I never saved all the posts I made on the SKMB. Actually, I never saved any.
I just write to my friends here, it`s just conversation and saying "hi" to you and wishing you all the best.
But after reading posts like these time after time, sometimes I feel sorry I didn`t.
Maybe it would have been a great book...probably even better if I had saved your comments as well.

" The Stephen King Message Board - thoughts for a day, friends for life "

Rings true to me...
Poetic Srbo...we are always here, and if we disappear, well we always come back!

Sometimes exercise chases dem cozmic blues (to blatantly steal from Mr. King) away, sometimes doing something for others, and sometimes you just gotta gut it out and fake a smile until it becomes real. Growing up is a bitch, but it's better than the alternative.

The woods are lovely dark and deep
Sir Srbo says:
Wasn`t the greatest of days I can remember in my life, but then again, I`ve seen worse.
One usually has, just when you feel like sh!t at the moment, you don`t think of all the other times you felt worse. Like when you have a tooth-ache. You swear to God that nothing ever has hurt so much like that mothertrucker, but alas...sure there was a time when the pain was greater.
But who likes to remember bad sh!t anyway?!
A good FB friend of mine told me today that I should put pen to paper, and as Shirley Jackson would say " write myself sane".
Sounds awesome. When you don`t have writer`s block, that is. I can`t write these days for some reason. Well, I did write a phone number here and there down, or some sticky on the fridge, but not much more. Don`t know when that will pass, either. It comes and goes and lately it stays longer and longer. Not that I actually really care, it`s not like I have a contract with Doubleday and I have to produce a book. Besides, who would read the crap I produce from my moronic imagination?! Not me.


Writer's block??? What was that word after meaningful word giving me the very accurate picture of our friend Srbo with the blues?? Not writer's block!! That's how you break the block, keep writing, does not matter what, just write. Please do not mention our dear friend Srbo in the same breath as Mz. Jackson considering her solution for the blues. You are too smart and sensible for that and you would not hurt those who love you. Write, write, write get yourself out there on paper and you'll forget the blues.

I think SK`s story Stationary Bike is about me.
He spied on me, somehow.

Don`t know really what else I could say. I miss having friends, real friends. All the people I used to know are married ( like me ), have kid(s) ( like me ) and we grew apart. I don`t know exactly what happened there, did they all of the sudden grow up, got really mature or they simply don`t care anymore about anything else but themselves and their family. Hard to say.
That makes it a problem for me, though.
I can`t stay young if everybody around me grows old.
Not that they have an option, you gotta grow old, or at least you wish you will, but come on...how about getting wild once in a while, just let loose, forget about the job, the mortgage, the car payment...headbang a bit, have a beer, smoke up maybe.
Once a month, man, hasn`t killed anybody. Or at least not too many, anyway. Yeah, yeah, sh!t happens, I know. Hopefully not to us, though.
Ah, I don`t know...
The kid`s asleep, my wife`s at work, I can`t leave the house, because the kid`s asleep. I said that already. Never mind.
So, what`s left?!
As always in the last few years - a book.
And so I disappear into the world of Lee Child and once again I`m gonna check out what Jack Reacher is up to.
At least he ain`t got no problems, or at least no big ones. He always stays alive. All beat up, and usually very grumpy, but alive.
May we all do the same.
Stay alive.

What do you do when the blues hits you?!
Love and lights, Gunners.
What writers block?? There's 3 or 4 heartfelt paragraphs right there. I just read an article about a writer, though his name escapes me at the moment, who to start the day would write letters to people to get the motor going, so to speak. Which would in turn lead to his fiction. As for the blues, that famously stoic Finnish blood flows in me, so I'm naturally grumpy. I read as much as I possibly can and listen to a lot of Peter Gabriel.

Really nice, thank you.
This gives a lot of people a lot of hope.
