About the title...

Not only is it the metonymic adage coined by English author Edward Bulwer-Lytton in 1839 for his play Richelieu, it's the throw-back to the Jeopardy mock from the geniuses at SNL: http://www.funnyjunk.com/movies/8806/
The best part of words, they can be weapons. They can cut deep. They can also heal, transform and comfort. The might in the written word is often overlooked by those with limited vernacular--though I occasionally speak the every man's poetry of curses so I can't judge.
This blog in a sense is a way for me to exercise my favorite passion--writing. There will be personal accounts, prose, fiction and non, and anything else I feel like writing. Writing for the sake of keeping this seemingly lost art in the days of text-speak and the degeneration of our youth's ability for proper spelling and grammar.
I hope there to be humor and seriousness alike. I can't hold myself to too much promise on the outcome; simply see where it evolves!

Death to My Brain

My most recent conquest is to watch whatever bad movies Netflix suggests to me. This all started when "Beauty and the Briefcase" featuring triple-threat Hilary Duff (suicide, homicide, or genocide--it's your choice, har). It's led me through some heinous movies like Legally Blondes, Sorority Wars, Bring it On-AGAIN, and landed on High School Musical.
I've watched these hunched over my computer monitor at work hoping that nobody feels friendly enough to talk to me. I've been safe so far... (I'll hunt you down John--to the grave!)

My job here is not horrid all things considered. However, I find myself realizing that I need to start writing again. I used to write every day. It used to make me feel more whole. Maybe I can start with bad poetry:
*clears throat*

I yelled your name down the river in the canyon... at least it came back to me. (takes and emo-poetry bow)

Okay, it's not Hardy or Plath, but I think I've got a glass ceiling ripe for the shattering!

That's all for now... baby steps, right?
