Letters to the Author: Plagiarism

Dear Plagiarism:

I woke up one day with a strong urge to write.
Write not only about my dreams but my thoughts and my ideals.
A timid person like me dread to say what’s on my mind, what more in writing.
I falter a couple times, but that didn’t discourage me.
With all my fears set aside, I started scribbling.
I wrote my dreams, my ideals, my thoughts with no apprehension.
and then one day, I stop.
I stop not because there are no ideas to be written nor dreams to be told.
But because you stole my thoughts.

hatefully yours,

Originality

Letters to the Author: Blog

Dear Blog,
Je suis désolé.  I hope you wont take it against me for not writing you for quite some time. Err, okay, I’m sorry for not writing  for the past days weeks?, OKAY MONTHS. I did write once. Anyway, I’m really contemplating of creating one helluva, kickass blog site. Something that is worth reading, worth adding to favorites or bookmark, something worthy for a news paper article, something worthy of an entire episode of Oprah. Tough one, eh?  Well, I guess I have to say bye-bye to Procrastination and say hello to, err, Consistency? The point is I want to unload all of my random thoughts, evil plans, secret fantasy and hodgepodge of angst , rants and rage from my brain. Or else I have to buy an external brain to contain all of that. Also, I’ve been hearing that the voices in my head are planning to sue me. They’re claiming my random thoughts are now occupying the space they use to have. tsk tsk tsk.
Sad, eh? Anyway, i guess we’ll be seeing each other more often. *fingers’ crossed, toes’ crossed*  I just hope the Procrastination found a new friend somewhere else and never hang out with me again. Or else, this will be another one-post-wonder, if there is such a thing. Well, that’s all for now, my friend. I’ll be writing you more often.
a renewed blogger

Letters to the Author: Procrastination

Have been thinking of creating a blog for God knows how long already. It's only now that I manage to create one. Have so many things in mind that if I don’t let it out, I may end up in a Mental Institution. Frankly, I’m still having doubts if I can post this message or if I won’t delete it soon. You know, having so many creative ideas, thought-provoking opinions, and witty comments are not enough to have a blog. Of course, who would want to post their thoughts in lousy, unmaintained blogsite?  

Haay, as I have assumed, it took me years to publish this post. The irony is this was supposed to be a "quickpost.” No funky graphics, no witty remarks, no thought-provoking philosophies, just plain and simple comments posted on the very same day it was created. But no, you won’t allow me to do that. Why, oh Procrastination, why? Why won’t you spare me? A year or so is enough. Just let me live my life without you. That’s all I’m asking.
 
Bidding you goodbye,
 
Ex-procrastinator 

P.S. First paragraph was created on January 6, 2006, while the second was created today, January 9, 2006.
