making sense out of confusion

so this is going to be my blog. i've been on a sort of creative hiatus lately so i'm thinking maybe this will help get something going. mostly i'll just be posting rants, poems, half-thought ideas, whatever. basically it will be like what i think good poetry should be: an attempt at making sense out of confusion. i'm ripping some great poet off when i say that and i'd love to credit him or her, but i can't remember who said that so sorry. but i can give credit where credit is due for the name of this blog. it's from a ryan adams song off of demolition called "starting to hurt." it's not my favorite of his many, many songs, but i like that idea: "it's a long way down, but i feel alright." he's really good at describing how i feel... and that line really basically sums up my whole life in a sentence. hell, maybe i shouldn't write a blog and instead just suggest random ryan adams songs for you to listen to -- you could probably get to know me better that way... so, yeah -- here goes: "oh my sweet carolina" "to be young is to be sad, is to be high" "cry on demand" "if i am a stranger" and "harder now that it's over"
go listen to those songs and i'll see you at the next entry.
