Another beginning!

Something attracts me about blogs. Most obviously, my love for the written word, but there's also an incredible well of talent that, with the glories of internet, is spread everywhere now -- minds, ideas, poetry, unexpected people, from unexpected places, interested in unexpected subjects and practices and views and themes and goals!
I have come across genius-like text and madman-like taste. And don't I just love it!

So, the desire to create yet another blog can be found in me at any second! The problem, or frustration, was that I had been collecting a hand-full of open diaries, which didn't offer me much more than a place to just put it out, didn't offer me an alternative, didn't offer me a chance to build something more than poetic puke! Most of the times I sat down and wrote, I was under the influence of alcohol and/or sadness. I wrote because I needed to write.
Although I am seduced by the idea of a bohemian artist in me that does art because there's nothing else it can do, what I really want now is to write because I love it, about things that I love, in a way of getting somewhere!

Two different ideas came into mind and I decided to honor both.
1. This blog would be the happy one in the family. I don't think the other ones were sad but they certainly weren't dedicated to happiness. I want happiness to inspire me.

2. English is a second language for me and I think I've been much more focused on my issues with grammatical difficulties, structure awkwardness and foreign accent, than on the joys it brings and doors it opens!! So, I decided to celebrate my second language.

And here I am, with A HAPPY ONE.
