Anyone want a used heart? I got one here, it is healthy and strong, if a little battered. Good price if you want it. Call (514) 555-9978. Operators are standing by.

If only it was that simple eh? Or am I the only one who wishes for the simple when the hard, once achieved is that much sweeter?

No, I'm not. But I surely do wish for the simple..like with my heart. Women are so...It would be nice if it was easy, or just not darn near impossible for me. I know I am not the life of the party, and I am not the king of handsome town<Okay, I'm living there illegally>, but as guys go, I am a good one. Of course, the women peer into my eyes, and they see the ghosts of my hurts<Mayhap exaggerated> and say no thanks. That and I keep to myself alot<All good selling points...if you're trying to be alone>. Hmmm....

And the wishing for the simple certainly applies with my writing. It's not easy to get published. Of course, it won't happen if I don't start sending it out! Damn big scary step<Like asking a woman out>. I will, eventually<Hmm, had my 1st novel's 1st draft ready for almost four years...>...seriously I will. I am a writer and I am going to get myself published. And if you say I won't...you're just wrong. You're just not wrong now. Sigh...

So simple would be swell, but life is not simple and I just have to get on my horse and ride hard until sunset. The only way to get all the things done that I want to. But I'll save that for another time.
