Writing and Such

I can't say that writing is a passion of mine, although there have been moments in my life where I have been quite proud of myself for putting together a collection of coherent thoughts that made sense and brought enjoyment to others.

I excelled at English in school, and loved to write poems and short stories. In fact, I remember writing a poem for a school poetry competition, and my poem was disqualified because they thought it was "too good" and that I had probably plagiarized another work. This was in elementary school, and I really thought nothing of it, but I remember the poem was quite good. I probably still have it somewhere. If I find it, I'll post it.

I've attempted to start my own blog before, but I soon became disinterested and let it fall by the wayside. I want to give it another shot. I need a new hobby. I've also been inspired by a friend of mine with whom I feel I have much in common (the most evident commonality being our love of the Phoenix Suns and the game of basketball in general).

Check out his blog here: A Clockwork Orange (and Purple)

He's a much better writer than I, but as I said, I need a new hobby.

What will I write about? That remains to be seen. It'd probably help me if I pick a particular subject on which to write. I'll do some thinking on that.
