   I've been emerasd in life and a creative writing class, here's some of my work as a sample.
J-6 ("On Writing")

" Rip it out, try again. Crossing out an unwanted sentence seems so mundane. The only truly effective thing to do then is to begin anew: an entirely blank, unmarred scrap of paper that will soon bear the scribblings of yet another of the heart's gushings. The impossibility is in the balance; the difficulty is in the subtlety, accuracy, and expression. Here the words feel too heavy, too much an obstacle to cover the depth of the topic; there the words thinly cover the page; the complexity and depth are lost. Wade through the endless sea of words (submergence yourself in them!) to find the few right, and perhaps(through pure chance) you'll emerge from the inky depths victorious. You might (just might- that is) find yourself with a clearer vision than when you began your voyage, and then (and only then) it will have been worth making the plunge.

There is nothing more lovely than that- the breath before nib meets paper and the cycle begins again.It is that flow of ideas to paper, the push-pull accept/reject: creation."

   A post revisited
In an address to the negativity of the first post: quite a lot has happened in the past few weeks to warrant such negativity- but so too (I'm learning as age wisens me to its patterns) does life provide more than its adequate share of positive counterbalance to its less favorable tenancies. in this I believe, I've seen too much to support it in my own life, or perhaps it is that I have been fortunate. I am in the most lovely section of this steam-gray town, and if I were either more deleterious or more lucid I could write a poem about it at 6am (which is when I woke up) but all the same, when I should be basking in this sea of culture, and art and intellectualism- I am sick, and the most cerebral think I can bring myself to do is sleep, or sit here typing at the screen staring the way a monkey does at lice.

And no, my fever has not broken, and yes I have to debate in less than an hour- but yes, that same monkey would have a better shot at winning an argument than I right now.

have I mentioned I am sick?

The world as it rotates
The divas make demands, the pawns obey, the underlings suffer. Now that in its self is a statement of negative implication- to be sure, although perhaps not unwarranted.The history of the world my dear, is one that caters to the highest up on all applicable pyramids.

( but if you will, or find it objectionable, do ignore this rant, it is but the obscure ramblings of a sick individual- one who has been caught bu the plague known as the flu, and at a critically inopportune time. )

   ...and in other news.
This year is beginning to look up quite a bit (aside from that pesky and ever present insomnia business) but all in all quite a bit better than before.

The clouded sky is breaking, imagine that! And even here as I sit up at home in the comfort of my chair concerned about very little in retrospect.

This past night has brought me closeer to breaking point than many others in recollection though- not so good as far as far as I can say, but as always, a new dawn breaks, yes?

I don't think I have all too much to say here, other than I'm wholely confused. I came home today to the pleasant suprise of the presidential nominees of both parties duking it out over the issues (or so I thought)only to recieve more and more of the same political catfighting that has shown itself in 21st century politics. I would say that this was a darkened spot on the whole of my satisfaction with the political system as of late (that is globaly and as a whole) but that would be the fallacy of posiive instances (aka: me playing favorites and employing "selective sight" to make mysellf feel better about the darkening state of things.) but not too long after the glowing victory won by both the "unexpected" candidates in the state of Iowa: Huckabee and Obama, riots break out in Kenya- business as usual I hear. I'm not sure what to say of it other than that this is a sitiation to be puzzled by without question. I certainly won't pretend to know the answers.
