Writing, Reading, Singing
I started writing when I was in college. I started with live journal, which I cannot access now. It was not proper ‘writing’ but it was all blogs and poetry. I always thought that I was not much of a writer, since I am not a good reader also. That’s one of my weakness, maybe. I easily get bored, and among my mom, dad and sis Im the only one who does not enjoy reading books. Although I have read a few already. I have read The Unsinkable Titanic Thompson, it is a book about this gambler and how he does his cons and in the end he got conned. I think it was non fiction. But I cannot remember. Then there was Omerta. It was Mario Puzo’s. The guy who created the Corleone’s. I have also read Love In The Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Marquez. Oh yeah I have read some Hardy Boys, and I do own a “Choose Your Own Adventure” book before. And I own two books today. A book on Creative Advertising and the Love in the Time of Cholera.
As you can see, I do not love books. But I love writing. I did not realize that I now have 2 blogger accounts, both I think I will no longer update, a multiply account which I started as my ‘new’ poetry/blog site but later I realized that it got too crowded. I moved to wordpress also. I am going to stay there, for now at least. I used to write some nice poems, at least I think they are, a few of my friends think so too. Have not done any for a while. I might be making some soon.
My forte, perhaps is love, and love that is painful. I guess that is why I cannot write them now because I am in a good relationship, and I do not feel any pain or confusion anymore. And I sometimes think maybe it is not fair for her if I still write those ’songpoems’ of lost love, and all that. But maybe my girlfriend would understand. And even support me.
Oh I always wanted to write a song. Though I have written a few already, a million of them are in my head. And now that I do not have a guitar it makes it even harder. I lost my touch. Maybe, but there is still hope. I believe that someday I can come up with a really good one. One that will make the world cry. haha
This Article is getting boring and long, and my very own capacity to stay focused is starting to evade me. So I will just have to end it now.
