the world begins with a word

i am beginning a new blog. i have to practice writing. writing is:
1. a passion
2. a skill
3. a habit
4. a desire
5. a necessity

i suppose this blog will be like every other blog, addressing life's issues from the small and tedious to the grand and stupefying. then again, what else would there be?

perhaps i will make this blog more of a virtual story time, i recounting the strange and bizarre events that find their way into my life.

i'll throw in some poetry, of course. some sarcasm. a little bit of sweetness.
