The Winchester

It's safe to say I was never really a fan of school. There are two slight exceptions to that statement, one of which being the first week or so of every year.  For some reason, one that I attribute to brief psychotic episodes, I was up and raring to go bright and early for the first week.  Every day I would wake up with plenty of time to spare, and typically get to either school itself or the bus stop very early.  I would stuff my backpack with excitement and adventure, then head off to an institute of learning, all bright eyed and bushy tailed and ready to ace every test those cool new teachers threw at me. The second week, it took my Mom 30 minutes at least to get my lazy ass out of bed.  I would stall, then trudge to the bus stop, scowling the whole way, indignant at being awoken before lunchtime.  My backpack was heavier, my old uncool teachers were ants to be squashed beneath my shoe, and every other person besides me and my friends sucked.  This was the type of malign that ev...

First, an explanation and apology.  An apology to myself, more than anyone else.  I apologize for taking so long to come back.  I have not posted a post since December of last year, after keeping an erratic yet normal writing schedule.  I did not write all the time, but neither did I let it get to be so long before reigniting the flame of passion I carry within myself for unimportant and derivative opinions vomited onto the internet. I don't know why I let it get to be so.  I have said before that I am lazy, and that definitely has something to do with it, but I cannot cast all the blame on such a personality trait.  I think I was also blocked, like I would not let myself get back to one of the things I enjoy so well; the crafting of sentences, the turn of a phrase, the attempting to use large words to add ambiguity and uncertainty to my scripture, the subtle Use Of Capitalization to further my already obvious and uplifting point of view, the unadulterated wit that flows forth from...

Hello all, just wanted to post a quick message here with a website link that I fully expect you to follow. Awhile back I stumbled upon an interesting website, through another site I'm sure, although I cannot say for certain which one it might have been. That is neither here nor there, though, for it is the content of the interesting website that is the true thrust of this blog. http://mfdh.ca/starwars/darth-vader/index.html This site is officially named The Darth Side: Memoirs of a Monster. Or, rather, that is what the site is. A Star Wars fan took it upon himself to create a fictional journal of the life of Darth Vader, detailing many of his day-to-day activities between the beginning of the first Star Wars movie, A New Hope, and ending right before Darth Vader's death in Return of the Jedi. As a Star Wars fan, these entries are a fun read, as you get to join Darth Vader in boring staff meetings, crushing various tracheas, fighting in battles, and listening to music while eati...

Well, here we find ourselves. An actual blog website. So far I have only been using my MySpace page as an area in which to blog (if that is really what I am doing... as opposed to rambling, ruminating, or simply writing). In light of this, I have decided to bring over some of what I've posted there and post it here. Some may call that cheating. I call it... not cheating. Rather, it is a chance to allow those of you who deem this blog worthy of reading the ability to enjoy the soft melodies of other musings of mine without the need for either a MySpace log-in or the pressure of correctly right-clicking on an internet link. Decent of me, to be sure. http://www.myspace.com/mattcwa , though. Janet, if you're nasty.
