Writing It Down: November 2012
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Wednesday, November 7, 2012. I’m writing and I’m living in Spain,. And I’m saying things like,. I am so happy, and. Me voy al sobre. And me voy a tomar una siesta. I’m riding my bicycle in Spain. And it’s raining and it’s cold,. And I’m saying this is crazy. I can’t believe I bike everywhere in the rain. I don’t have fenders on my bicycle. The thighs of my jeans are soaked,. I can see the water coming off my tires. And spinning splashes at me. I put the lens on.

Writing It Down: May 2009
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Sunday, May 24, 2009. Where Have All the Words Gone? Where have all the words gone? I ask myself. Like crickets, have they hidden from the racket? Or like cockroaches scittering away from the light. It has been over a year since I have written in here last, and I wonder- Why? I've heard in other countries the typical question to ask an old friend one hasn't seen in awhile is what they had for lunch. This cuts through the small talk and right down to what is real...

Writing It Down: España
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2012/09/espana.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Friday, September 14, 2012. Hay sonidos de español en todos los lugares. Las sonidos son Dulces por las orejas. Y mis orejas se comen las palabras. Como se tienen un apetite grandísimo. En los nublados la lluvia tiene agua mas rico. Las sillas son españolas, y las sabanas. 191;Pero quien soy yo? Siento como un americano despedido. Despedido en un mundo de las nublados. Que cantan canciones de la noche. Son frio cuando tienes calor,. Y caliente cuando tienes frio.

Writing It Down: The Running... Part 3
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2008/03/running-part-3.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. The Running. Part 3. After the half marathon the miles started to increase. Beau came over to our house around midnight. Sitting in the kitchen we exchanged smiles delaying the inevitable. I laced up my new Asics, threw on my winter hat, running gloves, a North Face fleece with a light-weight jacket over the top. I took in a deep breath. “Ready? Beau started laughing. “We’re nuts.”. 8221; I always needed to set up small checkpoints. 8220;Well...

Writing It Down: February 2008
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Friday, February 29, 2008. Run faster. Part 2. We started running at the perfect time—fall. One of my favorite runs started by the Elks Lodge off Expressway. We took the path back towards the zoo, and the trees formed a colorful umbrella over our heads. Winding on the path we'd look at the Missouri River. I mean why else would they sell wood at the grocery store not far from the beach if they didn’t expect us to have a bonfire? Think we’ll get busted? 8221; “Nort...

Writing It Down: Last Saturday in Spain
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2013/02/last-saturday-in-spain.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Thursday, February 21, 2013. Last Saturday in Spain. Or which style of shower curtain hooks would look best? I looked at the two, one-liter bottles of water, “How long do you think we could make it with this water? I mean if we were to start walking. Do you think we could figure out how to purify more water, how to find food to eat? 8221; Could we make down to Morocco, over to Portugal, or up to France? 8221; “People do that don’t they? We can do that, right? Or are th...

Writing It Down: January 2011
http://shawnsean.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A collection of ideas and thoughts. Monday, January 10, 2011. How do you know when you have it? I read somewhere that the beautiful thing about being happy, is while you're happy you don't think you'll ever be unhappy. I like that idea. To be truly happy and embrace it, you have to let go of the fear of being unhappy. Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in. Are you aware the shape I'm in. My hands they shake, my head it spins. Ahh Brooklyn, Brooklyn, take me in. Check them out if you get the chance.
