As I am new to this blogging thing, I am relatively unaware of any "rules" which govern said medium. I am sure that there have been guidelines set down for our reference; but I have not seen them. I'm not sure I want to. Rest assured that I will not espouse any radical or extremest theologies. I am not a supremacist, a hater, or a fanatic. I am however, a pragmatist. I try not to throw effort after foolishness, and I hate putting up with idiocy just because it is veiled with politeness.
I love words, literature, and the lively conversation or clever, well-informed people. And if you are a kindred spirit, you can correctly identify the works from which my writing has been infused. It is a terrible fault of mine, but I can't seem to help it. When, in the course of watching a film, you come across the perfect collection of words to identify a feeling or situation, it is only right that you should remember and use them. Honor those authors and helpful screenwriters that put powerful and unexpected phrases into your repertoire. If you can blithely use Jane Austen in a discussion with the Dean, weave Oscar Wilde into your conversation with the mail carrier, and astonish a group of friends with your use of the word "distasteful" instead of dislike then by all means do it! Words will always retain their power. Use them as any other tool to craft the life you want.
