I should give thanks to my friend Ronnie. I'm not sure where he got the quote, or whether it was a Ronnie original, but on his blog he once wrote something about being a writer, it went something along the lines of, "As a writer, when you're not writing, you're reading." Simple enough, but largely applicable to my state of affairs.
I think that's going to be me for awhile. Less words delivered, more words in receipt.
Before I go, I'd like to mention that the post below was written in the midst of probably the best weekend I've had all summer, so lest anyone begin to think my weekend involved me beginning to hate my friends, I must correct you by mentioning that I can't remember having as much fun with all of these guys.
On the other hand, I did spend parts of the weekend trying to read Ecce Homo by Nietzsche, and in his forward he mentioned that, "The man of knowledge not only loves his enemies but hates his friends." So either way I guess.

Hey Jamil!
I much appreciate your kind words. I've taken that quote to heart (unfortunately, I can't claim it to be mine) and have begun reading more and seeing more.
And by the way, you're NOT an aspiring writer, you ARE a writer. I read it along with many others, therefore you a writer.
Keep it up, don't let the flame die. Sometimes a moment's spark can sustain you for months and keep you as motivated as ever.
Ronnie
