Earl Yorke

…I just wanted to touch upon something that I’m sure alot of you have noticed recently about this weblog. I’ve shifted things in the past few months to not only follow my writing, but to also follow my views and feelings on certain things that I feel are important… both to me, and to everything else. This has taken the form of a few new categories that I have added, and I would like to discuss the relevance of such categories here… now.

My Dreams… A Record

Perhaps the most important of such additions here. My dream journal is a means for me to share with my current and future friends and fans the things that go on in my head at night. While they might be a bit screwed up at times (see my next two posts after the one for Ryan), they are important for me to purge here so that you all will later understand where my inspiration comes from. This particular category also helps me to get things out of my head that I cannot place in my regular work; not yet, atleast.

Current Events

Steve Irwin’s death inspired this category. You see, sometimes things happen that shake me so forcefully that I have to write about them. Up until now I just talked with Dina and my family about such things, but I have found recently that nothing compares to the soothing powers of writing… not to me atleast.

George W. Bush’s address on September 11, 2006 was what set this category in stone for me. This is MY BLOG. My journal for the public. If I am to be successful to myself (and in general), I must let the world know what I think. I hope that someday, if I am published, my fans will look back on these writings and say, “Damn right, Earl!” Even if they don’t, they will atleast know where I came from… what I believe.

Completely Random and Pointless

One of my favorites! This category was born from one single post! A post that deserved no less than to have a category named after it. It’s funny when I think about it. It was so stupid, and yet it made me laugh more than I have in a long time. C’mon… two cats in an octagon match, reffed by none other than Joe Rogan?! He’s crazy…

While no posts since have been placed in that category, don’t think for a second that I won’t post more!!! I’m just waiting for the right things to fill it… to justify that category as that octagon match did. Hehehe.

Inspiration

This category has been here for quite some time, and I place this post there because of one simple truth: I find inspiration everywhere. I’ve been detached for quite some time, and this is because I was dealing with a part of my life that I let go of more than a year ago. I’ve gained weight because of it, and I thought that I had lost some of my obsessive qualities as well. Have any of you ever heard of Adderall? I was addicted to it when I started this blog, and for a long time after I gave it up I thought I would never write again. Well, that is my greatest inspiration of all; the fact that I let it go, and didn’t write for eight months afterward. But I came back without it, and do you know why? I have a dream, and it is not dictated by some drug. I am sharing this with all of you because I believe in myself. I am inspired… and I will go places one day… without a drug as a crutch.

There you have it. I have shed everything in one post…

and I will keep writing.
