degrees of difficulty that the elections are upon us do not make my life any easier. arg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm trying to finish this difficult article. i've been writing it for over two weeks now. TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!!! how unheard of is that?! i can't even begin to describe how frustrated and incensed i am. it has never taken me this long to write FEATURE articles before. i thought i can write features in my sleep!

the problem is that i never worked while the event was happening. i never looked for my lede. i figured, this is a topic close to me, the lede will come bite me in the ass, not the other way around.

damn life. it should just keep the hell away from my work, as far away as possible!!!! it is the only way i can get anything done. at least, it looks like that, lately especially. i can no longer mix my life with my work. i freakin wrote the lede AT WORK while no one was looking.

imma get some sleep. in the last five hours writing about a weekend event, i only have day one down. and i am leaving that section alone!!!!!! no one touch my lede!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my writing teachers will sympathize, "it happens," but for crying out loud. can it please not happen ever, at all.   ¶ 10/26/2004 04:41:00 AM
