and the blog begins...

So I finally gave in. I now have a blog. I'm still slightly weary of this whole thing. It seems too...technological. Will people eventually just start reading their friends blog instead of talking to them? Does it replace actual human contact? I suppose that if it doesn't there isn't really a problem with it. Except that right now I'm sitting in front of my computer writing my thoughts down instead of talking to someone about them. Even a journal is different. It's more personal, more authentic. There's something about writing something by hand that's special. Wow, what a way to start a blog. Basically, my point is that I'm giving this whole thing a try! And also that the grammar will probably be awful because I'm going to try not to edit this. So here goes...

Waiting for the Moon to Rise (Belle and Sebastian)

All the way back home
I'm telling you I caught the sun
Creeping up behind my shoulder
And another day's begunI was following a trail
I'd never been along before
Chasing darkened skies above me
Looking like the spring
Like the winter
And the morning

If there's a place I want to go
Then I'll be there with you
'Cos in my dreams the thingsI'm wishing for
Keep coming true
Now a new day comes
Clears the darkness out of sight
And the shadows that were sleeping
Come and dance beneath the light
And I'm trying hard to hideKeeping the sun out of my eyes
Close them tight
And now I'm waiting for the moon to rise

Don't try to say to me
That this was never meant to be
'Cos the days are long where I come from
The next few days I'm free
There's a train I want to catch
But it won't leave here for a while
Till darkness fills the eastern sky
And streetlights stretch for miles
Through the spring
And the winter and the morning
