Words! Look here I have written some words! Put them together and they form these things called ramblings.

So after my last post you can guess I am a little down in the proverbial dumps as it were. I decided to hunt around the internet to find things to cheer me up. I found all the good stuff like funny cat pictures, silly memes, naked ladies, and other silly video game memes (Luigi's death stare I am talking to you). Once I was done with Reddit, I explored the vastness of the internet. I decided to do the age old thing people do at times, I Googled myself. Now I am not the most exciting person on this here planet of ours, but I have left a sort of digital foot or finger print however you would choose to describe it. I saw pictures that I had posted to Facebook, I saw there are a good number of people with the same glorious name as my own. I also came across something I hadn't seen in while, my poetry. See a long time ago when I started writing my super kick ass unfinished cat story "Feline Revolution" I found a website called WritersCafe. It is a free site that lets user post their short stories, poems, writings, and other musings for the world to see and comment on. I joined the site under the pen name J.Daniels looking to get input on my cat story as everyone I showed it to wouldn't give me actual feedback. After my story got over 200 hits I decided to put more stuff on the site to get peoples thoughts. For one reason or another I started putting poetry on the site. I don't know what inspired me to dabble in the poetic arts, but when I posted some things I felt a little bit free in a sense. I wrote some things that had meaning to me and never really shared that kind of thing with people in the past. The few I did post were about dealing with a girl who I liked but was being pushed into the friendzone and it was killing me, another one was about sharing secrets. I felt better when I wrote those things down and shared them with people, not unlike this. Getting feedback and people calling me deep was an interesting feeling. Normally people who know would call me the farthest thing from deep, I am usually loud obnoxious and slightly annoying. Having people who didn't know me say things about my writing was a nice happenstance of sharing things with complete strangers. I have more often than not had a way with words, I am way better on paper then I am in person that's for sure. I have always found myself far more eloquent and well versed when I write than when I decide to open my mouth and talk. That probably comes from the fact that I talk very fast and while I hear the words I say with a certain clarity others can have a hard time understanding me. When I write though the words come out with an ease and comfort. Sure my punctuation can use some work but overall I think the foundation is there. Just have to adjust a little so I don't have running sentences everywhere. I do wish that I could speak in a way that was more pleasing to people and be told to slow down or repeat what I say. It's hard for me when I have so much to say and only so much breath in my chest to get it all out. I know at this point I am rambling and lost my train of thought. Clearly it's time I take a step back before I start talking all crazy. So yeah that's some things rattling around in my head at this moment, hope you enjoyed it.
