A Year Ago...

I was going through the archive of this blog earlier this evening when I noticed that a year ago this month, I wrote a series of postings on my favorite albums of all time. I really enjoyed putting that list together. So for the month of August, I think I'll put together my favorite film list of all time.

Plus it'll give me an excuse to go back, and watch some of my favorites.

Sharing Some Pictures

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a short writing sample/essay that I was particularly proud of. You can read it here.  I originally wrote the piece in one of my notebooks, and I thought I would share what they looked like written down in the notebook. I really like how the piece looks on paper.

This page is some observations I had after writing the first draft. 

This is the actual first draft. You'll notice some re-writes on the bottom. 

I decided to re-write the piece so that it would look neater. 

The second draft. I love how neat it looks. 

Out of a Routine

I have fallen so out of a routine of posting on here, it isn't even funny. I'm actually pretty disappointed in myself. I've gone back over previous years of posting on here, and I've always been able to have four postings a month. It's almost like I'm struggling here.

Have I run out of ideas? Have I reached the end of my creativity. I sure hope not.

A Little Something I Wrote

I have fallen in love with writing.
Not writing on a computer, no.
Physically writing. Pen to paper.

It's a time capsule.
Each time you write,
You are leaving your mark.
Proof of your existence.

I also see it as something else.
When we write,
We leave a piece of ourselves forever on paper.
As photography captures our physical presences,
Writing is a window into our very souls.

Even simple writings such as:
A grocery list, homework, or letters.
They all contain our DNA.
Big or small, it's all there.
What will you leave of yourselves today,
For others to discover tomorrow?
