Tac, tac, tac...

Today I'm playing the role of accountant. It's kind of fun actually. I never realized counting beans could bring such a smile to my face.

I'm very excited for the projects I have lined up for this summer and fall semester.

I'm very tempted to just type and forget I have a secret identity.

My thoughts today

Every time it happens it leaves me with a void,
The space left from my thoughts dedicated to her.
It's a tough thing to fill that.

Every time it happens I've felt a peace,
A confirmation that this was the right choice.
It's a comfort to know I'm on the right path.

This time when it happened I felt the void.
The peaceful confirmation hasn't come yet.
I'm betting it will.

just another note

It looks like as of today my blog has received 2,007 visits this year. Cool.

Today I respect Superman.

I've been reading a lot of blogs lately and have decided the blogs I like to read aren't written to be read. The writers talk about their lives and stories without thinking of who might be reading it. That sounds so freeing to me and I'm honestly thinking about giving up my identity.

I've been Just Another Cassio since August of last year. Me and JAC were all to ourselves until I decided to apply to be a writer for the Board. My roommate knew I was applying and one night we shared our pseudonyms with each other. It was intense I tell you.

I'm not one that likes to keep secrets about myself. When I started this blog I wanted to have an outlet to write about my thoughts and life and even my opinions about what goes on. Admittedly I love to tell stories. This blog seemed like an avenue I could use to develop that interest.

Secret identities have a dark side though. Everytime I start to write something on my blog I end up erasing it because I'm just not sure if it gives too much info regarding myself. For the past 9 months I've been guarding who I am and I'm starting to ask myself "why?." I can't imagine how Clark Kent did it (or does it).

I see only two options to this dilemma:
  1. Share my real name with the world.
  2. Forget about the reader and write to write.
Not too sure what I'll do yet, but I'm excited for either prospect.

Someone reads my posts

Here's an email I received in response to one of my posts today on the Board:

Dear JAC,

The advertising for your "Mesopotamian Miracle" treatment was convincing. If I had any money, you can be assured that I would wire it to you posthaste.

I would contact you in regards to your stock of snake oils, but I am afraid I have been subjected to a great deal of those recently. I'm just about "snake oiled" out. Maybe later, eh?

I wish you the best of luck in what is no doubt an illustrious and lucrative business.

Any other takers? :)
