Woahhhh.....AJ's blogger layout is COMPLETELY different to mine... he has a post and publish button!

This is Erica, speaking from AJ's house, through AJ's blog. I shall use this time to run an short advertising campaign for two of the greatest websites on the net.

Bored? Looking for something to stimulate the grey matter? Feel in the mood for some musing, music and madness? Then you can't go past the good times and crazy times of Erica's Blog! There's random writings, quirky poetry, downloadable mp3s and other tidbits for you.

Go there...you know you want to!


If that first site didn't *inspire* you to leave AJ's blog, then maybe this next one is for you. Aimed at teenage girls, Aspire is a site that helps you live out your dreams, reach your goals, and become the best YOU you can be. Although only new in the world of E-Zines, there are articles on topics such as writing better fiction, creating custom t-shirts and boosting your self confidence. Make sure you go, have a surf around and sign up to the forum! Your dreams are waiting...

Now, after that shameless stint of self promotion, I shall talk about something different. AJ is currently playing some nice keyboard. He is currently playing "Kissing You", which is a lovely song that was featured in the movie Romeo and Juliet, directed by the very talented Baz Luhrman.

AJ has asked me to post a poem I posted on my blog a few days ago, so here it is!

Take a peek behind my cryptic lines
What do you see?
Did I hide a mirror there?
I'm sure you see your face
And I know you stop to admire

Take a listen to your words for once
What do you hear?
Was that a contradiction?
I know for sure there's lying
And I'm certain this piece doesn't fit with that

Turn your eyes from inside out
If you can see past your own vanities
Unfold your ears, I don't think you heard me
You were too busy listening to the sound of your voice
Wring out your hands of the guilt you feel
Guilt towards staining your own reputation
Hang out your sorries in neat little rows
Seems you forgot the pegs - they've all blown away
Not that they ever hung where they should have
Still they looked pretty...just like you
There's that reflection again
Couldn't help yourself could you
I feel sorry for you and your vanity...


Kinda fits with the themes of AJ's recent posts...if ya get my drift...

Well, that's it from me - I'm sure AJ will make a post soon to feed your eager minds!
