Well, I know its been awhile since I wrote last and lot of things have been going on. First of all my computer crash a few weeks ago and I lost every song I had ever written. Its a depressing thing(I only had about five or six memorized.) I guess I'll just have to pick the peices back up and start all over.
Secondly, schools started back and Im in my senior year now. I have early dissmissal so I get out at 11:20. Its almost like Im not even there. I have really iffy feelings about this year. I want to go to college and major in journalism, but I honestly don't think I have the capabilites to be a prosfessional writer. I write raw and from the heart, and its going to be difficult finding a job that wants a writer like me instead of some politicaly correct writer that has as many dimensions to him as a peice of paper.
And most of all. . . I'm scared. All my life I've know school. Walking down the hallways with my friends and holding my head up high has always been my element. Im at my best at school because I know the politics of it, I know the humanity of my teachers, and I know the social scene of my friends. The world is differant, and I dont know if Im as good at the world as I am at high school.
I would like to say Hi to razz. I've missed reading your posts, and someday I hope I delevelop my own unqie style as well as you have.
Im glad to be back, and maybe someone out there somewhere is glad to have me back as well.

Ben! I'm glad to have you back. :) I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your songs. I've lost writing as well and I know how devastating it is - especially when you pour every part of yourself into your work.
I know a journalist who writes from the heart. It can be done. Not all of it is about politics. If you want to write, if it's your passion, then please major in it - whether it's journalism or another kind of writing. I didn't and it's probably one of the biggest mistakes I've ever made, so now I'm just starting out when I should be settled in. If you do go into journalism, you could write human interest pieces intead of politics after you graduate. Just please always follow your passion and write with honesty, just as I see you doing here. That's what makes it uniquely yours.
Ew...okay...that turned into a lecture. I'm sorry. That wasn't my intention.
Anyway, I am very glad you're back. :)
