commencing countdown/engine's on

I feel like I've been here before, in this same situation. A journaling de'ja' vu, if you will. I began a journal over 4 years ago and left it about a year ago and have missed it ever since. It was such a big part of my life and I would like to experience it again, which is why I have a new one. To visit the old one, go here: The Egg is Cracked

Beginnings can be so awkward, for me it's the lack of ease of creating in a new space, knowing what to say and how to transition smoothly from nothing at all. It seems like the first few sentences or paragraphs, or in this case the first few blogs, must endure something well enough compelling to invoke the desire to keep reading on. But that's alot of pressure. So whatever.

I am hoping to accomplish alot of things with this new journal like I have with my other. More than anything I would just like to make a point of articulating my feelings through words in response to the unravelings in my world.

I chose lost_in_space for my new journal as it is the title of a beautiful cd written by Aimee Mann. Her way with words inspires me to do my best at transforming my feelings into words. The futurity of those words will preserve my memories and thoughts for anyone who is interested in reading about them. Not to mention that I just like to be reminded that the planet Earth is just an iota in the matrix of the universe.


Word of the Day: Golden Handcuffs - special benefits offered to an employee as an inducement to continue service. Think of getting a really huge raise at a job you hate. Getting suckered in despite your happiness by the driving force of America: MONEY!

This comes from a calendar I have, and I will implement it in my journal to make use of the new words I am learning.
