I've tried to blog before, but I've always been terrible at keeping journals and such so we'll see how I do this go 'round. I have titled this blog "Miracle of Consciousness", a) because every other URL I wanted was taken and b) because I am a nerd and when in doubt I quote John Green: "Life is about engaging as deeply as possible in the miracle of human consciousness". It is my intention to fill this blog with positive grateful posts, because life is too short, and we are given too much to act like the whiny little bitches we are. I had a tumblr once and (as tumblrs so often are) it was filled with sad and angry posts (it was used as my emotional dumping ground) so I got rid of that whole mess. I hope this blog improves my writing skills as well because it is among my secret fantasies to be a writer alas I suck at writing. When I read Ernest Hemmingway and Sylvia Plath and F. Scott Fitzgerald and T.S. Eliot and Virginia Wolfe and E.E. Cummings and Henry David Thoreau I can't help but be overcome with awe and envy. I so badly to compose a sentence so beautiful that one must read it slowly. I want to make a sentence that makes you feel like you are sitting alone in the sunlight in a quite place. I can't describe how I feel when I read one of *those* sentences but I know it when I feel it. I absolutely love the written word.
So here is where I will store my attempt at uplifting paragraphs to remind myself that I am given the gift of human consciousness and I will try to put some [poetic?] words together to do it justice.
