My first post

Hey, Thanks for checking out my blog. My blogging skills will probably improve as time goes on. Here is an attempt at a first post, so I hope you enjoy it. feed back is welcome.


Summer is comming to an end. I go to Hawaii in 3 days, and I have happily concluded my job at the library, and would like to share the little piece i wrote a few months back upon my return home from work.


Have I ever told you about work? I’m the only person my age, as well as the only male at the library. I’m alienated like a fox would be in a chicken pen. After a fun four hours nightly of sorting books and putting them on the shelves, I can tell you this. The Christians are at least half right about hell. I’m not sure about the raging hell fire thing; I’ll send a post card when I find out. But I am sure hell does exist and I’ll tell you how I know. I'm youthful, full of energy and enthusiasm. When I’m finished at the end of the night, I’m exhausted. Every inch of me is writhing in pain, but if that were it, I would stop right there, no complaining, I can deal with that. Four hours is a long time to just sit and observe, to sit and thing. Four hours of silence, save but “ask the librarian” once in a while. Four hours I wander the isles, I pass thousands of people’s words trapped inside their cages, like a soul being held hostage, collecting dust. Souls poured out in ink waiting to be heard. Alas, in an age that no one wants to listen, they share only one thing; their solitude with me. And as I wander, thinking about the lives those trapped souls have lived, I think of my own. For hours, I run over and over in my head all the shortcomings, failings, and inadequacies in my life, as well as all the fleeting moments of happiness that seem so bleak in the context of confinement. Anguish, just the sound of the word is morbid, but it doesn’t do justice to what my mind goes through. It’s ironic, the very hammer that was to set me free pounds in the bars of imprisonment, that keep me locked inside my own mind. Hell.


I hope you enjoyed that, Stay tuned for more!
