Chasing rabbits

Hi, my name is dee moore, if you all don't already know me. I am a writer and was a journalist until I was laid off. But, the first description is more apt because I've been a writer since I was 12. What I want to do hasn't changed much since then. I don't think I have much either. The ideas are still pretty much the same, the only difference is that the person who is carrying those ideas around sort of finally grew up. I am a bit more colorful with my spoken language. I'm a bit more assertive. I am a lot more decisive and independent. But, still the same.
I started this blog off wanting to write essays about topical events and subjects hoping to kick start me back into writing because I hadn't in a while. By that I mean I haven't been writing for publication since October. I am always constantly scribbling. Unfortunately, the blog and the essays just didn't happen. I have two near completed essays in six months and neither one posted.
I recently decided to turn this blog into my scratch pad: making this is mostly notes, saved thoughts, bits of poetry, saved comments and quotes by other people, pieces of songs and such. Now and then I may post old newspaper stories that I wrote. Please realize that everything published to this blog is copyrighted, either by me or the paper which published it. Steal from me and I will open a can of whoop ass on you, no joke.
I will also make some journal-entry style posts. These will mainly be for me and my friends who want to stay "caught up" on what's going on in my life and in my head. So many of you guys are now spread out across the country, me included, and hopefully these posts will make it easier for us to all stay in touch.
I can't guarantee that I will post daily. I seriously doubt it. But, I am going to shoot for weekly and hope for better.
Oh, and this is important, I love to include song lyrics that apply to my posts or that may be playing in my head while I am writing. I have a virtual jukebox in my head and every minute is crowded with song. As you can see, next to writing, music is my life. I can't live without it. Right now I thinking about the movie "The Matrix" and hearing Jefferson Airplane's "Alice", "One pill makes you bigger and one pill makes you small." Red pill or blue pill? Or will this blog be like "the ones that mother gives you, don't do anything at all" for you! Either way, it'll be fun for me!
