My first foray into blogging happened on my MySpace page, which I am now phasing out until it shall pass into oblivion.
However, I don't want all my hard work to pass along the same road.
So I'm going to gradually transfer my vintage blogs into my new one. It'll give me something to write about for awhile.

In Bruges - A Vintage Post
This post is actually one that I wrote quite awhile ago, but never quite finished. I pulled it ouf of the unpublished archive this evening, because I knew I had to post something, but couldn't quite make it work. So here is my first foray into Vintage Blogging:
I suppose this is officially my first blog post, because the others were kind of just an obligation I had to fulfill. For the time being, I'll probably be writing about fairly simple things being that I have neither the time nor the internet connection to be blogging constantly, but as part of my personal well-being, I need to have some sort of creative outlet, and so blogging it is.
Being that it is awards season, I've been watching a lot more movies than I normally would during the year, and in fact, prior to the last three weeks, I honestly can't remember the last film I saw in the theater. Recently, I've seen Revolutionary Road, Milk, and Slumdog Millionaire in the theater, and I began to remember how much I absolutely love movies in general, and movies in the theater specifically. But despite all that, I must admit that my favorite movie of 2008 (that I've seen so far, of course) is In Bruges.
This one I watched in the comfort of my own home, and I deeply regret that I didn't get a chance to see it in the theater. It is one of the finest black comedies I've ever seen, and the performances were stunning, particularly Colin Farrell, who plays a very confused hit man stuck in a small town in Belgium.
As unrealistic as the premise was, two hit men sent to Bruges to lay low after a job went wrong, the writing and the range of human emotion was spot on. I can hardly describe the plot without giving anything away, but if you haven't seen it, please do.
This film brought a little bit of magic into my life, and sometimes it is hard to remember that magic is afoot.
