Good Morning Starshine!

It's morning. I can tell. The light seeps through my eyelids, not even my translucent curtains can hold it back. This light...it isn't that of the soft streetlight resting on the other side of the pavement. It is that of my arch-nemeses, the one who's shining rays of tormenting light cut through the embracing shade of night; The Sun!
It burns. The inside of my eyelids turn, from a cool blackish-blue, into an angry red.
I usually like red.
Not now.
Grudgingly pushing the two balls of fuzz off my bed, I swing my legs up and out of the warm covers. The fuzz-balls claw their way back up the maroon-colored comforter, pinning my legs in the process.
Not one to battle with the forces of nature; I let them be.

Time Closet

I'm sooooo lucky. You don't even know.
I've just returned from the closet-that-time-forgot...it resides in my bedroom.
Seriously. You don't even know.
I'm sure everyone knows what a time-capsule is, yeah?
You don't? Well...Google it.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
*This space the denotes the passing of time*
OK, are we all on the same page now? Good.
Where were we?
Oh yeah, My closet.
After opening said closet, becoming buried in a pile of questionable clothing, I decided it was time for a clean.
Well, really, it decided for me...I couldn't cram the mess back in...and the countless years of ignoring it, hoping desperately it would just go away, wasn't working anymore.
You think I'm joking, but I found things I swear I never knew existed in there. Baby clothes I have no recollection of wearing, Christmas decorations, Halloween candy I had squirreled away, and strangely enough; my very first pair of chopsticks...I never knew I was so sentimental...
But I did find my Lion King snow globe...so maybe it wasn't all bad.
...It's the circle of liiiiiife.....

Where Do I Go From Here?

After some serious thinking, and some not-so-serious procrastinating, I've decided to start a blog. This of course, is no news to those of you reading this, but how else am I to get the ball rolling?
Rolling down a nice, slow, grassy slope, mind you. Not the kind of booby-trap induced boulder we so often see Harrison Ford running from.
Wait. Harrison Ford? booby-trapped Boulder? You must be referring to the infamous movie we all know and love; Indiana Jones.
Yes. Yes, I am. Nice Segway, wasn't it?
Sadly, it is not a segway, as I have no where else to go from this point on, and reviews of movies from the 1980s are already being done by countless other Internet junkies.

In The Beginning

Saturday, February 12, 2011.
It was a windy day, with winds reaching up to 10 mph. The trees bent at angles a tree should never know...
What?
To Melodramatic?
How 'bout this: The afternoon was a quiet one, except for the wind howling against the windows.Even the ghost in the fireplace was silent, for even he couldn't compare to the wind's awesome might...
No. Sounds like the beginning of a cheap thriller novel.
Hmm. Trying to sound mysterious, and clever, yet appealing to your web-audience is hard to do this late in the afternoon.
...Maybe I should try again later, after I'm tired and had at least three Mountain Dews.
