Back After Two Years!!!

It has been two years since I last wrote on this blog, or on any blog for that matter. Over the course of two years, a lot has changed; in me, in my way of writing, in the world around me. For starters, I have improved on my writing skills a bit. I've finally found a subject I like and something I can do for at least the next few years of my life. But on the other hand, I've become a nastier person, so the view down here is going to be a bit more critical than what it had previously been (which is saying a lot) .
In the past two years, the world around me has changed too. The financial meltdown has set in, and from oil prices looking to cross the $200 barrier, we are looking at a situation where it barely sells at $60. The effects of climate change have become more noticeable. But those are all on the large scale.
Coming a bit closer to home; the trains have become more crowded. The open fields behind my house have been replaced by construction sites, suggesting that the crowding of the trains won't stop. I have also become less lazy, so there will be more additions to this blog soon....................
