Blogocentric Formulations

Logocentric (adj). Regarding words and language as a fundamental expression of an external reality (especially applied as a negative term to traditional Western thought by postmodernist critics).

Sometimes I just write whatever I feel like. Other times I respond to prompts, many taken from the following places:

This sounds lovely.

I'm always one to ask, by cabin (or camp), do you mean shack in the woods or cottage on the lake? I am too old for the former lol

I need quiet, connections, solitude and fellow writers. I went to weekend events in Listowel, Ireland in 2015 and Georgetown, Malaysia in 2024.

Tulsa though... weekly connection works best for me. Covid killed what I had here in Montana. I make do; but, I think I'd do better elsewhere.

, I enjoyed Caught Stealing. I think Darren Aronofsky always does interesting things with his movies, and the cast of bizarre characters in this one was really great. I'm not sure it's going to be one that I rewatch all that often, but Austin Butler did a great job in particular.

Living in Australia Charlie Kirk wasn’t someone I knew very much about other than he was someone whom Trump championed.
It’s always sad when anyone gets killed though and I feel for his young family.
The perpetrator has given his own life for what he thought was the only way to stop the vilification and lies Charlie espoused. There are no winners here.

Until I read yours and Jeremy's blog posts I had no idea who Charlie Kirk was. He sounds like an asshole. I'm in agreement with you. Politics should be a civil conversation instead of out and out violence.

I'm not happy Kirk's dead but I don't feel sad either. Thanks for putting it better than I could.

Jeff, I am so glad that you and Jeremy have the eloquence to describe this event in the ways you both did.
My feelings about this are similar/same, but words like yours don't come easy to me. So thank you for this post.

I did not like Kirk's values or views nor will I mourn his loss. I feel sad that his actions brought about his death leaving his wife and children alone. I feel bad for the young man who has also thrown his life away to end Kirks. I don't agree with his actions, but I do understand being driven to a point where you feel you must take action after all when Pelosi's husband was bludgeoned Kirk himself called it an heroic act so maybe the young man felt his actions were heroic by Kirk's own words.

Excellent blog post, Jeff.

Going Offline Tomorrow!

I'm just about 24 hours away from boarding my flight to Brazil, which means it's time to start wrapping things up around here. I still have a newsletter I need to finish, a few contest entries to judge, and some other odds and ends to take care of before I leave tomorrow, but I'm in the final stretch!

One of the goals I have for myself during this trip is to unplug as much as possible. Even though I'm sure there will be internet access from time to time, I really want to break out of my routines and recharge my batteries, especially since I'm reaching that point where my enthusiasm is low and I'm starting to drag a little.

As a result, I'm going to be away from Writing.Com until August 16th, which I'm pretty sure is the longest break I've taken from this site since becoming a yellow case six years ago. It's rare for me to go more than a day without checking in here ... and even when I go on trips, I still check in every couple of days. So it's going to be a bit of an adjustment and a definite challenge to try to stay away for half a month!

If all goes to plan, the only time I'll be (briefly) online is to upload my weekly piece of writing and send my one review for "I Write in June-July-August "

. Other than that, I'm trying to avoid all email, IMs, review requests, activities, group obligations, etc. The rest of it will have to wait until I get back.

I will miss you all while I'm gone, but I'm looking forward to coming back refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to get rocking again! See you all in a couple weeks ... and behave while I'm gone!
