There is almost no greater comfort than that which I find in a blank page ~ a potential platform from which to jump beyond myself and into the minds of others, even if just for a few moments in time. Here I will share some of my rantings, some of my hopes, fears and egad! some of my opinions. Do with them as you wish or do nothing at all ~ but take heed ~ I will not be silenced!Weary Haghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15809105824011470783noreply@blogger.comBlogger149125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9625886.post-14266571150670959172014-12-10T14:22:00.001-05:002014-12-10T14:22:55.742-05:00newsy newsheading over to an all-new blogging venue as i've lost touch with this one and can't sort it out any more. i figure, start new, maybe a shot in hell at staying with it for a little while. learn as i go with a fresh piece of paper.

I hate when they buzz near my ear and I really hate when they reduce me to a sniveling three year old or force me to spazz-out like Joe Cocker.
