Resolution 2010, and an old Poem.

Welcome to my first blog in this new year of 2010!  I have decided not to bother with my typical and mundane resolutions I always find myself making.  You know, the kind that sound really great and logical when you're making them.  For instance, "Oh, Happy New Year!  This is MY Year!!  This is the year I'm going to lose all the weight that I've resolutioned to lose every single year since seventh grade, nary looking crosseyed at another chocolate chip cookie so long as I live!"

Sounds great in theory, but really, who are we kidding?  (Or rather, who am I kidding?) :-P

So for this new decade I have decided to make a resolution that should be an absolute no brainer for me.  My resolution is to simply write.  Hence, this fabulous new blog.  ::watches it sparkle with newness::  I have made an extreme amount of excuses in 2009 about why I haven't been keeping up with my writing, and the time has come to quit my bullshitting and do what I love most.  Writing!  Storytelling!  Correcting people's spelling....

Don't look at me so...it's a trait I aquired from my Grandmother...she can be extremely frightening when it comes to English grammar!

So I hope to update this fabulous new blog and fill it with many, many posts in 2010 about nothing in particular, writing about whatever strikes my fancy that particular day.  I hope you will stick with me on my writing resolution, it's bound and determined to be an adventure!

That being said,  I will leave you with an old poem I ran across the other day that I discovered I actually liked very much, even after letting it stew and age like a fine wine on my old myspace blog for over a year.  Enjoy, and write you soon!


The curtain rises,

The masquerade begins,
The queens and nobles play.
The fairies dance,
A wicked trance,
And duties will delay.
I sing alone,
And am aptly prone,
To the fairies quarrel.
Faces hidden,
And I'm bidden,
To the moons' and stars' atone.
At night I walked along a path,
Following the wispy willows.
And there I found,
Magic abound,
And I listened to the cellos.
The music played,
Forever on.
And I danced in time with nature.
Night to day,
The fairies play,
And I am home forever.

Signing out!
