How do you write your entries?

I ask this because I wonder quite how alone in my method I really am. I regularly find my mind wander (as it often does) and then I think to myself whatever subject I’m pondering would make a good journal entry. It is at this point I start to write it in my head. Now this is where the problems start. I plan in my head to quite some level of detail. I don’t mean to, it just happens automatically. From here it moves in one of three directions. I either forget about it completely which is what normally happens, write a few key words or lines on a scrap of paper, or finally get to a computer and start typing. Now with the two latter options I have real problems. When I type up I try and remember the version I had in my head, word for word in many cases. When I put thought to keyboard it never comes out in quite the same way, I think its because I’m trying to remember what I thought, not think about whatever it was in the first place. This often leads to slightly scatty entries that tail off at the need as my short term memory fails me.

Last night in a little moment of annoyance I wrote a glorified complaint against the big brother program and the people in/on it. Now this was a rather directional attack, I think perhaps a more general one is required. I have just watched what seems to be yet another apprentice style programs. This is maybe the 5th or 6th one I have seen with exactly the same style. Its actually at the point where I’m not sure if they are a joke of those before them. Considering they keep coming I shall assume not. A joke of a joke is one thing, but a joke of a joke of a joke is a considerably large step too far (even for TV).

Now is it TV producers pushing these shit programs forward on the back of their predecessors success, or are the public actually demanding this drivel?

I’m sure the big TV companies/networks/producers have enough spare money to indulge in a few new ideas, you never know, they may even work. I’m just getting tired of seeing an innovative format being copied to death. Thinking about it, I’m just tired. I suppose I have answered my question there then, I write my entries when I’m tired.
