December 11, 2016: Late Night Block

It’s pretty rare that I can’t sleep.  It’s pretty rare that I can’t write.  As I sit here tonight, at 1:30 in the morning, I deal with both.

I still have my Bears post game to write… maybe if I can stumble through this one, I’ll finally get to that.  Sometimes the words just don’t flow like they should.  Sometimes things just don’t fall together like they should.  More times than not, they both do.

But when they don’t, I wonder if it’s that thing they call writer’s block.  Officially it is defined as:  “The condition of being unable to think of what to write or how to proceed with writing”.  That seems about right.  Not too much gray area there.  I remember some tips that I received regarding this “block” back in high school English I believe.

I loved that class in high school.  I believe I had the same English teacher for 3 out of the 4 years…maybe even 4 out of 4.  He was really something.  I’ve mentioned him before here.  He ran the newspaper too, which I contributed to back then.  I thank him for my understanding of the English language; I try to show that most times here.  Sometimes I get a little sloppy…

But back to this late night block…  I mean blog… or whatever.  He said whenever you have a hard time thinking of what to write next, just go.  Just start writing…. or maybe my dad said that; I seem to remember things he’s told me over the years too…anyways.  It seems to work for me, at least for the purposes of this highly popular website.  I wonder if it would work for me if the stakes were raised.  I guess it’s good practice to do it now.

Just start typing… and the words will start to flow.  You can always go back later and clean it up, but just start getting the words down on paper.  That’s the only way to go.  That’s what I started doing right here a couple minutes ago.  I’ve had times like this before.

I may have called it random thoughts, where I just kind of let my mind wander through the Chicago sports landscape.  I think of all the topics I can go to, like that Bears post game I’m about to write, as I now start to feel the words fly quickly onto the page.  I think of all the ex-Blackhawks in the league… and wonder about their performance.  I think of the Sox, and what moves they will make next.  I think of the Bulls, as they prepare to welcome back one of my favorites in Thibs.  I think of the Cubs… pretty much all the time, and how much their 2016 World Series title absolutely saved my year.  I think of all the “other” things that make my year every day of my life.  I get emotional sometimes…

I think of the times when I’m misunderstood, and wonder if I should really care.  I think of how I really feel like this is a short stay for us on this earth.  As we roll towards the end of another year, I think back… and I think ahead… I think of what will come next, and how I got here.

I think what the hell am I doing up right now, and how I will pay for this in the morning.  I start to feel a little better.  It’s almost time to go back to sleep.

But, not before I banged out another blog, and am starting to feel like doing another.  I think I’m finally breaking through… again.  Let’s talk some Bears.
