Don't Try

"Somebody at one of these places [...] asked me: "What do you do? How do you write, create?" You don't, I told them. You don't try. That's very important: not to try, either for Cadillacs, creation or immortality. You wait, and if nothing happens, you wait some more. It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks you make a pet out of it." - Charles Bukowski

Random hail storm last night. It was pretty sweet I must say.

I am about to beat this game. These Bioshock games have been amazing. I don't think I have ever been so entranced by a video game before. I just can't help but laugh at Roger Ebert and his ridiculous out of touch opinion that video games can never be art. Apparently the third in the series is somewhat based on the World Fair in Chicago. I am currently reading The Devil in the White City and I am excited to see their take on the Colombian Exposition.

Cubs season is finally under way! Perhaps I will write about how I think this season will go. The Blackhawks are battling for a playoff spot and the D Rose and the Bulls are destined to win it all. It is an exciting time in Chicago.
