What it is all about

It is about freaking time. We used to write long drawn out stories on notebook paper passing it back and forth in our carefully crafted 12 year old letters. We used to read quietly for hours until one of us decided to run around the house looking for ghosts. Why not now? How has our creativity not morphed itself into the computer format? I will not wait another day! 
    Today is the begining of a new era. It all starts and ends with the word, so here it is. Give me your thoughts, lend me your wisdom, your annoyance with politics, your feelings about local food, your passion for murderess love stories. Tell me what movies made you cry, what made you laugh, tell me what movies took you from your house directly to a friend's because you could not bear to enjoy the pleasure alone. Tell me about a kick ass song on rock star where all three of you were in sync on seven, count them seven, occasions. I want to know. The public has a right, and we have a duty to share these thoughts with each other. Knowledge, however small, not shared is wasted. It dies with us. Lets share our crazy ideas and meanings. 
   so, an introduction of sorts. i have more entries to make. Starting with my thoughts on "In the Woods" and "The Fountain." And I know you have something pouring out of you. 

dont stop at books and movies either! Lets tell each other about great meals, independent beers, clothing stores. and invite people! 

until next time, cider wishes and mole dreams, melinda lou.
