Writing
When I was younger (so much younger than today…) I used write a lot of poetry/lyrics. I started when I was in high school when, like many teenagers I dreamed of rock stardom. So much for that theory! Anyhow, I had a study-hall every day that I usually spent writing. After high school I continued, but over time I wrote less and less. To the point of basically quiting. Once in awhile I would, and still do write, but nothing regularly like I used too.Over the past couple of months I've been contemplating whether I should create a new blog "Writing" topic and begin to put all of my writing online. Being largely from my young wayward days, big chunks of it contain all the basics of a misspent youth: sex, drugs, rock & roll, depression, suicide, love, hope, despair, etc. Some of it is directly about my life at a given time, but some of it isn't. It may be written as a first person account, but it's not about me. Actually a lot of it is written in third person! In some, but not all of it there's very personal pain and emotion. But for most of it, a couple of decades have past and the subjects they address, it really has no relationship to my life now. Do I want to expose all of this to public scrutiny? Is there any reason I shouldn't? After all, I've always pretty much been of the "if you don't like it, don't read it" mind set. I still haven't made a final decision on this, but right now I'm leaning towards doing it. I just thought I'd think it out loud for a bit.
