School

I'm at school again. It seems old, though it is the second time that I've been to school in my life. Mayhap it is the school, mayhap it is me. I know one thing, however.

 

I will never have a change in my life as big as going to school.

Writing

How much more wonderful is writing
The words sprout on the page
When you do it in a passion
Perhaps even in a rage
How much more magical is writing
When your plot comes unbidden
You see the story that will be
The horse never been ridden
How much more lovely is writing
When in an ecstasy of joy
You write with all the purpleness
And frills you can employ
How much more fulfilling is  writing
When done in careful love
When everything poured on the page
Can give your mind a shove
And MAKE it to imagine
All the things that you describe
And MAKE it to believe
All the words that you now scribe

Running hard

Just when you're running so hard that you don't know if you can ever stop...
Just when you can't take anything more... anything worse...
Just when you're breaking from the hardness of life...
Just when you can't keep going...
God sends you tomorrow.
And you find you can.

Soul

Whatever is on the mind, let it be spoken

Whatever is on the heart, let it be done

Whatever is on the soul, let it be written

SNOW!

SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! We don't know if it'll stick, but it's coming down quick!
SNOW! SNOW! SNOW! We don't know if it'll stay, but it's here for today!

Thought

Oh silence like that moment on a cloud
Before we step off in a reverie
Oh poignance when you've finished and you've bowed
And you wonder, "Are the whole world's eyes on me?"
Oh beauty like that moment in a trance
Of passing, gloating splendor glowing bright
Oh waiting in that moment when by chance
Some passing miscreant turns out the light
Oh blooming in that moment of ideas
When all the world bursts forth a holy sooth
Oh tender splitting and peeling away fears
When first a soul can see the wholest truth
Oh moments like this great and small and slow
Are what makes this earth a home before we go

Writing

When you put words onto paper, the most you can hope to convey is a shadow of the passion in your mind. The words that promised to give the meaning you have experienced or are searching for reveal themselves to be idle shams. Yet in this shadow, we can see the reflection of passion, the passing silhouette of a grand splendor. By using words to create a crude wooden frame, the imagination can emboss and finish until the doorway into another world is firmly made and we may step through it. To create this frame, this support structure for the imagination, may be one of the highest goals of mankind.
This is why we are writers.

My First Day of Work... so far

Well, here I am, taking my lunch break, just like any other Joe at the workplace. Did filing all morning, took a coffee break, had coffee at my coffee break, and kept breaking the copy machine - all the wonderful workplace experiences in one convenient morning. I also did my school at my lunch break, so I shall have to scarf down my turkey wrap and clemantine. Well, must go and file some more - farewell for now, or, as they say in the workplace:

See ya tomorrow, Ted.

Christmas Stockings...

Guess what I got in my stocking this year? A travel mug. This, I suppose, was a subtle hint from Mom that I am to stop stealing hers. But it came blank and silver! So, of course, what I did next was perfectly natural - no one can blame me! I took a permanent marker and wrote, "Cremorna, Cremorna, Cremorna shall kill you in the end!" All over it. No one will mistake my mug for anyone else's!

Happy New Year! [Sound of cheap plastic horn being blown]

Well, it is 2007! What are your resolutions? Forgot to make 'em? That's terrible. Well, that's ok - I nearly did meself. But I remembered in time! Here they are, in their lovely entirety:


1) Hire Pascal to give me photography lessons

2) Get a move on with my voice lessons

3) Get a job at the office. I'm FOURTEEN now, you see.

4) Think seriously about taking drumming lessons

5) Think seriously about taking jazz dancing or breakdancing lessons (I know, sounds ludicrous, but I have always loved breakdancing. My grandmother concurs)

6) Save money for two main goals: A laptop and a camera

And that's it. Woo hoo.
