Testing 1, 2.....

So, here I sit staring at this blank page wondering why in the world I decided to start blogging again. It's easy when I really have something to say but what about the rest of the time? I don't know how much I'll be on here or even what I'll have to say. Maybe I'll just post pictures and let them do the talking. I guess only time will tell. There's one thing I know for sure; there are times when I want people to know what I have to say concerning certain things and when those times come you'll know it!

I will warn the reader of this... I tend think of everything from an artistic perspective; usually music, hence the title of the blog. If it's a phrase I immediately start singing every song I know that includes those words. If I don't know of any then I think of how I could write a song using that phrase. I admit, I don't think like normal people! And just in case anyone is wondering, the line "I walk these streets, a loaded 6 string on my back" comes from a Bon Jovi song. I've always loved the mental picture I get of a "loaded 6 string"; someone who is always ready with a song or a melody.

I'm not saying that I will always post about "artistic"things, I'm just giving you a heads up on how I think. I heard a quote one time from a worship leader and I swear it was me speaking. He said, "I have the curse of an artist. My strength is that I feel deeply; and my weakness is that I feel deeply." I was glad to know I wasn't the only one out there who feels like this!

So, from time to time as I write I may go on a tangent and be very passionate about what I'm writing about. Just know that it's sincere and from the heart. My friends always tell me that one of things they love about me is how passionate I am about things. They always know that when I say or do something I really mean it and I'm glad that they appreciate me for it.

Part of my reasoning for starting up a blog again is because there are a lot of things going on in the world and a lot of people making their "mark" if you will, and influencing people by the things they say and do. I figure that I might as well have my say too. After all, I tend to believe the old saying is true, "All it takes for evil to triumph is for the good to do nothing." So, here I am trying to influence the world with my thoughts from a loaded 6 string! Thanks for listening.

  1. I'm so glad you are blogging! I am excited to be your first follower! Hooray for you! Now I know why you think the way you do--you're an artist-- but I guess I knew that. I feel deeply about things too and, true; it is both a strength and weakness. I am an artist though in a different media--words, fabrics, and flowers. Looking forward to more of your good writing.

  2. Yes mother, we are definitely different! Maybe that's why we get along so well... at least most of the time!

  3. Rhiannon - I got this link from your mom's blog. I'm hoping to check in now and then and read some of your passions. I totally understand what you are saying about the way you think. Because of the way I was raised I am full of hymns and they used to pour out of me during stressful situations in life. Music has healing in it doesn't it? Keep that six string loaded.
