You Gotta Start Somewhere...

After reading some inspiring, intelligent and down right hilarious blogs I decided that it was time that I sit down and type something funny, thought provoking, and inspiring...but unfortunately all I could come up with was this blog...

As I thought of topics that might be of interest to all of you who follow my blog(thanks Katie), I thought, "There is so much to write about! The possibilities are endless!" Subjects of History, Culture, Art and Science. I only need to but choose one of the limitless genres connected to the human experience and muse, meditate, and write.

...

So today I noticed that when you turn on the light after being in the dark all night, it really hurts your eyes!

As the poet coined:

There's nothing to writing.  All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.  ~Walter Wellesley "Red" Smith

As I sit down to spill my "creative blood", I find that I am anemic. Hourly my mind is filled with thoughts and ponderings, but as soon as my seat hits the chair....crickets...bupkis.  My mind is a blank canvas and the paint has hair in it... 

So perhaps after my first attempt at "blogging" many musings may come to mind.  I hope to enrich your lives with my babblings and that you will send me money...okay I omit that last part, but it is with this thought I leave you now:

"May the crickets in your head chirp loudly!"
