I started a journal in 1980. This was a time when music, poetry, drugs and sex were my world. No shit....really living the dream of a 18 year old kid in a band with a plan. Anyway knowing that no one is going to actually see this blog I figure it's my own legacy unto myself...to live in cyber space forever! I'm sharing the start of that 1980 journal, realizing much has never changed...
The Beginning
Writing is one of the things I think I miss doing the most these days. I used to write quite a bit, in the past. Usually I would just put down my thoughts, images of things in the back of my mind. I would write songs, poems, stories and philosophies. But, somewhere along the way I stopped doing that and I think that is the reason behind some of those feelings and emotional tantrums I go through.
I think that it will take me awhile to get back on track with my writing. These first few entries will be a bit rough, but with time it will improve. Though my grammar may not always be exact, my thoughts will become more clear.
I really do not feel that there is a need to date these entries , because I know that I will not be able to be consistent with daily writings. What I am trying to do here is just explore the thoughts that I have. These thoughts may not always seem connected and they are not meant to be related. Though they may ..in the big picture..be interrelated, they are not some exhortation on life.
It is said that in all of us there lies the "great American novel" I most certainly am not trying to bring that out here. What is more important to me at this time is just the ability to transform my abstract thoughts from mental musings to real words.
