Dateline 4-23-2016

For the past couple weeks, I've been torn as to whether or not I want to continue sharing my Daily Wicker Breaker post on Facebook and Twitter. Not that I plan on giving up on writing the post, I'm just unsure about sharing them as if they were proud posts.

Right now my content is rather weak as I try to figure out what I want to do with my life. I don't feel all that inspired to write anything all that creative or fun, this segment has devolved into mundane ramblings about what I did the day before, desperate to at least justify that I am putting an effort into my surrendered life.

Then, last night, I remember an old concept for a story that I always wanted to write, a period piece that follows an average citizen during an exciting time. Something like the movie Gladiator but following a guy who sells concessions and not the start of the main event. In fact, we wouldn't even see the main event.

The story I have in mind would be more dark and nihilistic than frivolous and fun. Rather than a hero's journey that glorifies a romanticized yet violent past, this would be an exploration of the banality of life throughout history while shedding a light on the importance of the individual that will eternally go unseen. 

I started to wonder if some day this section of my site will be a modern day telling of that story only as a living document with an undetermined ending. Even if this segment never ends up going anywhere, I'm sticking to it to see where it goes.

We'll see what happens with the rest of my day,
