'Tis a new day.
'Tis a new day. Yesterday was strange. I'm glad it's over. The name of the book I referred to is 'The Light and the Glory' by Peter Marshall and David Manuel. In it there is a quote from John Adams in which he says, "I can see that the end is worth more than all the means." I take a great deal of comfort in that quote. My thanks go out to John Adams. I started a journal last night. Obviously, this is similar to a journal, but different in the fact that I am writing it for the benefit of those who read it. I publish this journal and others may read as they please and learn bits and pieces about me. I've never been a big fan of journaling; I don't much care for it. I suppose I'd rather write about fantasies of the imagination than write of reality. However, I have been told many times that a good writer keeps a journal, so I'm trying. I will probably publish small segments of my actual journal in this "cyber-journal" of mine. Yes, I think I will do that. Today is a rainy day. Everything is dreary and cloudy. Have you ever noticed that rain makes everything dramatic? In movies, all dramatic scenes take place in the rain. In reality, rain makes every situation's drama escalate. I've recently read the first book in 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. The writing style used has inspired me. The book was easy reading, and I had it finished in under a day. I look forward to reading the other books in the series. I've recently found myself examining and analyzing the writing styles of various authors as to find my own. My favorites vary from Lemony Snicket to Nicholas Sparks to Jane Austen. I hope to someday find my balance. I suppose in a way that is all I want out of life... not just to define my writing style, but to find a balance in general. I wish to find my balance and leave a legacy. Okay, that's enough serious talk for now. Here is an excerpt from my newly created journal:
"...Thus far, this journal has proven to be an awkward collaboration of disgusting handwriting, atrocious grammar and lamentable spelling. All of which are things I absolutely loathe. I suppose this is an odd beginning. I don't much like it, but I suppose it will suffice as my 'introduction'. Ta-da..." There is your first glimpse, I suppose. I am currently working on a poem, but I'm not sure as to how I like it yet. I don't much fancy my predictable pattern of poetry, so I'm trying something a bit different. Perhaps I will publish when I am finished. Then again, perhaps I won't. Oh yeah... that's right. Feel the suspense? *yawns* Alright, enough of that. This morning has been busy. I woke up extremely early and had undergone treatments by nine o' clock. It is likely that I spend the rest of my day working on furthering my education and drawing random doodles. My life is somehow boringly chaotic. Alright, I'm through with this blog. God bless you. Goodbye.
