I’m having a bit of a go at trying to get out of the head space of so much stress, and getting back to writing on a regular schedule. It’s not like I have too many deadlines lined up for projects that are 100 percent essential, it’s just that I have certain goals that I established for myself this year, when it comes to writing that is, and I’m not hitting those goals. And it’s becoming increasingly less likely that I will. And I’m just fucking tired.

Then again, I don’t really have anyone to blame but myself. In fact I could be writing something right now, well, yes of course I am writing something right now, but I mean something that contributes to the goals as stated above, not this silly post about why I’m not hitting the.

Sometimes, yes I know, I don’t make any fucking sense. Move on, I have.

And that’s really the big decision that I have to make. I have to decide to sit down and seriously move on in writing. I have to force myself to write something, at least 500 words, push through the self doubt and dryness of the old brain.

I normally do so under the extreme influence of too much caffeine, but even that wonder drug has been failing me as of late.

I’m looking at the the pieces and parts of works that I started and then never finished and trying to see if anything there can jump start me, but it’s all a sort of hodge podge of yes this bit is good, but this bit is bad.So thee’s nothing there that really gets me working. I’ve even tried to get back into reading, a task which I have let go for a good solid month or maybe longer, and I’m finding that difficult as well.

It’s just very hectic right now, and as I look back at the last few months worth of these posts, as sporadic as they are, that seems to be the underlying theme, a constant ramping up of the chaotic mess that is now completely entombed my life. Ah, well, the pity party moves along and I will pull myself out of it, but still, I’m tired of writing 10,000 words and then looking back and saying, “What the fuck am I doing?”

Moving on, because that’s what should happen now.

Batman news:

I opened up my feed reader today and found that promo clips from the upcoming The Dark Night Rises film have been released. This is via Mashable’s website…

Once again taking to viral social media marketing, the minds behind the Batman film franchise have released a string of clips to promote the upcoming flick, The Dark Knight Rises.Previously, fans were asked to crack a Twitter code to get a sneak peak at the film.

Now, the new YouTube videos show a Gotham descended into chaos while pointing fans toward a new Facebook page for the movie.

On YouTube, the four clips have seen between 18,000 and 179,000 views each as of this writing.

The Dark Knight Rises is scheduled to hit theaters in the U.S. and Canada on July 20, 2012. While it’s surprising to see such a tightly grouped volley of marketing almost a year ahead of the release, we applaud the marketers in question for their creative use of available web tools.

I’m sitting there watching the four clips that I will post here for you, and I’m looking at the mirror image of our current world, without any element of fantastic diffusion. The scenes could be ones that were on CNN last night. Honestly, I would like to believe, even though the villain line up seems, um, sub par at best, that this “Last,” Batman movie from Chris Nolan will catapult the super hero movie from simply being for fans to that of cinematic greatness. If the powerful images, that will most likely only show up on “B” rolls is this powerful, I can only hope and speculate that the actual movie is going to be even more brilliant.

Here’s the clips:
