I've always liked writing. Well actually, scratch that. I've always liked free writing. I never understood the point of expository essays in high school English. (Shouldn't it be called literature? We're not learning English; we're learning how to analyze stories, including those originally written in another language and then translated into English. Anyway...) Didn't the authors write the stories just to make a living? Did every symbolic thing the teachers pointed out really get thought of by these writers?
Ironically, I love writing opinion pieces. For better or for worse, I have a lot of opinions. And of course, I'm always right.
Seriously though, as much as I enjoy producing opinions, they take a while to write, especially if I'm talking about something that requires time to research so that I can get my facts straight and base my opinions on things that are concrete (and true). They will come at times.
However, I'm going to try a true blog, as in thoughts about things that pop up (that can't be shrunk into 140 characters at least). I think I'll have enough time for that occasionally. I hope.
As for that list I published a few years back of stuff I wanted to write about, considering that it's, well, a few years back, it's probably not worth rehashing. New news keeps coming, so if anything strikes my fancy, I'll put something down here that's relevant to us now.
If there are any suggestions (for the five people who may stumble upon this blog because they were bored beyond belief; if not, I am utterly grateful) leave them in the comments or feel free to tweet me. It may be my blog, but you're the one reading.
Edit: I realized I said this a few months ago as you can see below. Shows you how much I remember.
