First Entry

I'm starting this blog to see if I can even do something like this, and maintain it as well. To write more, to find out if I can write at all and to get some creative juices flowing, so to speak. Nothing is really happening right now in that area, and I'd like there to be some proof that I can be creative. Nothing is sure about what I'll do with the place. I'll probably start writing about my day, some thoughts, deeper contemplations. Maybe write a story or review a movie or a game. Perhaps, if I'm bold I’ll write about myself, so people who read this (if there are any, if I tell anyone I'm doing this) can get to know me better. I don't know.

The thought for an internet diary, weblog or any such thing, first occurred to me while talking to my dad about essay writing and my bachelor paper in particular. I don’t think I’m very good at writing essays. I don’t get bad grades necessarily, but I’m never truly satisfied, or convinced this is the best I can do. So overall, I think I could improve, but I don’t. That’s mostly because I don’t write as much as I want (or should), and postpone a lot. Well, this experiment will remedy the lack in quantity, and hopefully the quality of my writing as well. (and, with some discipline, getting better will make me stop postponing).

So I’ll try some Free Writing as well. When the time comes I’ll explain just exactly what that means, but it’s a great way to get flowing thoughts under control, and my mind always seems to be flowing, chaotically, so I might as well put it to good use (can’t watch movies and play games all my life, I suppose....Oh god, It would be great if I could though...sigh).

As for the title, Temporary Peace is a song by a British band called Anathema, but it seemed a great way of saying that writing this blog is my small moment of calm in an ever growing world of chaos.(too cheesy? I don’t know, I do feel I’m growing up, and more is added in my world day by day, it seems. Can you believe I even have a steady job now? But more about that later). I might change the title later, if I find something more suitable, or more awesome (fyi, awesomer should be a word, definitely). I’m never good at these things, thinking of good stuff to start with. Look at my best of list to your right...that’s probably not even really true, just what I’m thinking of right now. The same goes for the layout and the colours. I’ll definitely change them. This looks too much like my deadjournal pages. (oh yeah, I’ll add this somewhere else as well, but if you want to know what I nagged about as a teenager, look at my Deadjournal. It’s not that emo/goth/suicide-like, just a pun on livejournal, but....well, for emogothsuicide-like types, I guess. Oh well.)

I think this is it for tonight. I have all these ideas floating in my head about what I want to do with this place (I guess I see it like a room or a garden, one that needs to be decorated with words and thoughts, I don’t know why), but if I use them all up now, this will be a very short lived experiment. All I’ve got to do now is not forget them, which is harder than it might seem.

I’ve run out of steam (wordsteam that is). This first entry’s better, and longer, than I thought it would be (considering I created the blog and the layout and the lists to your right about 4 days ago and have been looking at an empty blog, with an empty mind for some time). I’m going to go to bed now. I’m cold, I’m going to warm myself against Eline. Tomorrow (or is it today) my new TV will be delivered, I hope. Again, more about that.

For now, this is me signing out, turning off the lights in my new room of words and thoughts (don’t forget to water the ones in the garden, so they can grow into beautiful wordy flowers overnight). I’ll leave you with today’s quote (your ‘international moment of zen’ or whatever): “If I let you suck my tongue, will you be grateful?” (Nicholas Cage, FACE/OFF)

Hehe...(what’d ya expect from a guy named Castor Troy)

Listening to: Fink – Distance and Time (bought it in the store because they had it on and I liked it, I usually never do that)

PS Oh yeah, feel free to comment, a lot, let’s get discussions going. Not with this post obviously, no real dividing statements made here, but later on. This is the internet, we can’t see you, we can’t kick you in the groin, be bold, be ballsy (oh, bad pun), I know I will (try). Also, correct me whenever you see fit. With spelling and phrasal errors, but also if I make a mistake or get my facts wrong. This is supposed to make me better at writing, and mistakes are there...blahblah, you know what I mean.

PPS. Saw THERE WILL BE BLOOD today. It was a bit long, but awesome. (NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN was awesomer though) But Day-Lewis is scary good.
