Story Telling

I don't like typing up stories of stuff that I've actually done, I don't think that I'm good enough of a writer to do so. Well maybe I could get the point across but I am just much more happy with the outcomes when I am speaking about something than when I am writing it. This is why most of the best stories of my time here in NYC don't really make it to the blog, and why this is more a repository of my thoughts and of my bipolar occasionally, than of any of the shenanigans that I'll be happy to tell you about at a bar or somewhere else. I'm kind of scared about the story losing its power. Kind of like the seinfeld episode when Kramer sold his stories to a publisher and was stuck with nothing to talk about, I get scared that my own stories will lose their power. That the soul of the story will trapped in the page caged in by whatever letters form the gnarled words that I used to tell it. And when I go to tell it the essence of the story will be gone and I'll just bore the listener. Maybe I'll start posting some though.
