words are for writers

blogging. that’s what my life has come to. i’m just as surprised as you are. first off, i feel like i’m talking to myself and for the most part i probably am.  but if you love words just as much as i do, maybe you’ll stick around for more.    words. we use them every single day. i find it fascinating that millions of words float through our minds each and every day. we spit them out like a bad tasting beverage, without thought, yet when a blank page is presented in front of us, the freedom of endless possibility clears away our mind of every word we’ve ever known.  some call it writers block. the fact of the matter is, we’re all writers. i don’t care what every english teacher has ever told any of us. we are all attracted and intrigued by the words of everyone around us. we read books, we listen to song lyrics, we search for meaning and answers and hold on tightly to the words of others hoping they will guide us through this weird thing called life. i also find it haunting and mesmerizing how complete silence can have more of an impact than any word known to mankind. words have power, but silence is the most powerful of them all.  now that i’ve finished my cliche rant on my obsession with words. let’s get down to it. what is this blog even going to be about? i like poetry, i like music, i like jokes.
