New to this whole blogging thing

Well, well, well. Here I am, pretending to all the world that I actually have something noteworthy to share with the teeming masses. I'm always making fun of people who feel the need to blog. I mean, David Lasky has a blog and so does David Lee Ingersoll but both of them are artists and I'm not much of anything. I could be an artist but I'm usually suffering from some medical malady and can't stay out of the bathroom long enough to put pencil to paper or fingers to mouse in Adobe Photoshop. 

Oh, but, yippee! I'm well enough to write this, right now. I hope David Lee Ingersoll and David Lasky don't sue me for mentioning their names here. They are friends of mine. And brilliant artists. Look them up if you don't believe me.

So, the name of this blog is "One-Eyed Gott". I got the name of it from the misheard lyrics book by Gavin Edwards, "Scuse Me While I Kiss This Guy". Somebody thought that old song by The Four Tops was called "Ain't No Woman Like The One-Eyed Gott", which I still find hilarious, every single time I say it. What in hell is a one-eyed Gott? Actually, isn't "Gott" German for God? Maybe it's about someone worshipping a Cyclops? At any rate, I have been considering and planning and scheming about having a 'zine with this great title that would have my pictures, poetry, book/cd reviews, musings on life, etc., but I never actually put it all together. It's been YEARS since I was in school (shout out to Shoreline Community College, Seattle, WA! WoooHooo!) and most of my layout knowledge wasn't all that great to begin with. Page layout used to bore me so much. Anyway, today I had just told my sweetie, Jennifer that I was going to do the 'zine by hand. We have a nice Macintosh but no printer or scanner. We are poor! We spent all her money on remodeling our condo. 

I think I will start on the paper version of the 'zine sometime this week. I gotta go halfway across town to my doctor and get some blood work done sometime in the next few days. Now that I'm living with Type 2 diabetes I'm finding that I have to schedule a lot of different doctor appointments, which is a drag. Just when I'm excited about getting some help for my adult A.D.D., I get slowed down by busy doctors with whom I must book months in advance for one lousy consultation! 

Ah, well. Such is life. Okay, I gotta go check my blood sugar and eat dinner. I'll write more about myself and my life soon.
