Harry Potter in your daily life.

A horacrux is a magical object that is used to prolong life, but in a very dark way. To make a horacrux the maker must commit murder and seperate a part of their soul, then place that bit in an object. This makes them, in a sense, immortal. I would like to say that writing is like creating a horacrux. You put a little bit of your soul into everything you write, the only difference is that the only thing you are killing is a little bit of time and possibly a tree. If a writing of yours has soul, it will truly immortalize that part of your soul. When you write, you should be using it to express what you feel, who you are, and what you need to get out (not necessarily referring to assigned writing, but even then, a well written essay contains a bit of soul.). Beautiful, meaningful writing comes from within (CHEESY I know). But think about it the next time you sit down with the intention of writing a poem, a short story, or whatever method you feel so inclined to use in expressing yourself.

GREETINGS!

HELLO EVERYONE! Or whoever finds time to read the rantings of me.
I was one of the naysayers when it came to blogs. I found (and still do) that they are a big waste of time and are solely there, because we as human beings have an unquenchable need to spew our guts out onto a cold hard screen that cannot tell us we are wrong or rationalize our feelings. It is just there and as such cannot run away from us or smother us with love. Yet we still need the acceptance of our fellow humans, and so we make it public. This being the human need, and I being a human, I am acknowledging my weakness and have gotten a blog, YAY! It will be interesting to see what I put up here and how often something actually is posted. But anyway, enjoy your life folks and keep on smilin'! :D
