Sparks.
Feeling like wet flint. No matter how bad I want one, I just can't seem to find the spark today.
Maybe I just need a some time to dry out. Maybe I need to fly to San Fran and kidnap a pink haired girl for inspiration. Maybe a five day rock climbing road trip from Calgary to Vancouver next week will help. Maybe I need to see my doctor. Maybe I need to move. Maybe two weeks climbing in Italy in September will light the fire. Maybe that's just the beginning of something I've been talking about for several years. Maybe I need a puppy. Maybe I need to fall in love.
Maybe.

You have mentioned this feeling often. Are you open to suggestions?

Maybe your life feels empty because you're chasing all the wrong things?? You've got class, Jimbo, and deserve better. May you find that spcial, one of a kind woman who is worthy of you...and may she take your breath away. You'll know her when you meet her. You just have to look in the right places, silly.

Get a puppy. Then take the puppy and the pink-haired girl rock climbing. Maybe dye the puppy pink too (go AWAY PETA people). And jeez, if you're not already in love, what I've been reading lately makes no sense.
I think the writer's block is a government conspiracy. I've been blocked for a week. And Melly hasn't posted much either.

Jimbo!
I've missed you! My iBook was sick for a week!
Here's my 2 cents...get political! Volunteer for a candidate near and dear to your heart! I've lost my heart to the staff of a candidate I'm helping to get elected. He's a great guy, they're a great staff and life is AWESOME!
You're articulate, intelligent, funnier than hell, witty (not the same as funnier than hell) and a good cause could really use someone with your energy and passion.
Whatever you do, please continue to blog...I almost went crazy without my daily Jimbo Fix!
:-)

Oops...the anonymous comment was unintentional (thought I had typed my name). Anyway...I only meant to say I think you are an interesting and intelligent guy with a lot to give (a rareity), and hope you find someone worthy. When you do, everything else will just fall into place :-).
And Lynne: Lust is different than real love. Both are good. But they are very different.
