This is another piece of fiction that I wrote on 07/15/2012. I am publishing it today as is, and maybe later, I can edit and make better.
I am Mills Riley. Who are you? No answer, heh. Well, my good buddy, Mark Lieberman, paid me to write some posts on his blog. I know he works for a “Big Bank,” so money should be easy for him to get. But I also know he likes to eat; maybe I should’ve asked for something else, because knowing him, he will spend all of his money on burgers, tacos, nachos, fries, onion rings, and ice cream! Why do I always want money instead of goods or services?
Crap. Who is calling me? I just sat down on my couch to write this stupid post, got my dessert on the coffee table, and the Conan O’Brien show is about to start. It is my mother. I can let the call go to voice mail, but I know she will keep calling till she gets me. My mom likes to talk. I am really glad she doesn’t text me, email me, Facebook me, Skype me, or Tweet me as I would go absolutely bonkers and would’ve to see a shrink for the rest of my life.
Well, I am hoping it is a fast conversation because I got stuff to do.
“Hello Mom.”
“Work was good. I wrote for a little while, surfed the Internet, took a short nap, wrote some more, chatted with a colleague on webcam, took a long lunch, wrote some more, and finally called it a day at 2:00pm.”
“I’m writing a blog post for Mark Lieberman. My dessert is melting, and the television is calling my name.”
“Yes, that Mark Lieberman.”
“Mint ice cream.”
“No.”
“I can’t think that far ahead.”
“Conan O’Brien.”
“No, you don’t know who he is.”
“Yes, very funny.”
“Megan Fox, Brad Pitt, and Justin Bieber.”
“Transformers.”
“Yes, he is Mr. Angelina Jolie.”
“Actually, I have no clue who that Justin dude is.”
“I got to go – the show is about to start.”
That was a painless and quick conversation. Thank goodness! I just lost my train of thought. Now, where was I? No, I wasn’t on a deserted island with Megan Fox. But that does sound fun!
Wow, this is going to be a horrible show this evening. It’s too bad there isn’t anything better on television this late evening. I could watch the local news and watch stories about crime and punishment, highways being closed due to stupid drivers, and the latest sports athlete to be arrested. Actually, that sounds kind of fun to watch!
You know something, I am going to turn the television off and write a blog post for Mark Lieberman that stars Megan Fox, Brad Pitt, and Justin Bieber (I lied to my mom; I do know who he is, but do you really think I would listen to any of his music?) I already ranted in my own blog about Justin and got myself in big trouble! My lawyer told me to keep my mouth shut and never bring it up; but I say screw him–the lawyer that is! It’s a free country and free speech and if I want to say or write something controversial, I am all for it.
The plot can include crime and punishment, highways being closed due to stupid drivers, and the latest sports athlete to be arrested. Wow, I am good! One of the characters will die, but that can be decided on the last blog post.
After I write it, I should send this into the Fox executives. I know they like shows that are animated; I would love to make Megan Fox animated!
You know, I am just going to tell Mark that all I could think about was Megan Fox and I couldn’t concentrate on writing and that I will write something else for his pathetic little BLOG next time.
