Trying....

I have been thinking of what would be interesting to talk about in my blog. What would really get people hooked and interested? Unforunately I didn't come up with anything so you will once again have to put up with me just rambling on about random topics. But where to start?
Maybe we should talk about Mother nature and the obsurd weather that everyone has been having? In England we had snow the other week. It was lovely to look at but God was I ready for it to go. (Never been used to walking on it, but being from Georgia what do you expect? The last time we had proper snow was the storm of 1993) Speaking of Georgia....their weather hasn't been much better. Just recently in the news were reports about tornadoes and even snow. I mean seriously? What is mother nature thinking? What happened to having typical weather for each region? A few people would say this is down to the Ozone or polar ice caps. I just think it's screwed up personally. While they have been having tornadoes and snow, England had rain and sunshine. Still not warm though. But it is February. Haha! Speaking of February.... Today's offical events for most American's is the Super Bowl. The teams this year are San Fransisco 49'ers and Baltimore Ravens. Personally I don't care now which team wins the bowl, I would have rather had the Atlanta Falcons in. It would have been terrific to see them win, but once again as we all know Atlanta dropped the ball in a matter of speaking. Well there's always next year....who knows maybe Atlanta will come back and actually make it all the way to the top. It would be great to see. Even the UGA bulldogs didn't do have bad this season. I would have loved it though if both UGA and Atlanta could have done well. But that's a different topic all together. 
So I should tell you that I managed to write another full chapter on one of my new novels, this would make nine full chapters. I also managed to write a bit on a screen play idea that I have had in mind for some time. But can't really go into all that as it may not end up finished yet and I don't want to get anyone's hopes up. I also published another hub page. Not really a very productive day.....I really should work on being more productive. That too is a different topic all together. I am still trying to figure all of this blogging stuff out. So please bare with me as I get it all together. I think I will have to leave you all with a song for now and hopefully I will learn from other blog's what interests people. So the song for today is By Mark Wills. It's called "Don't Laugh at me". I will find the lyrics for you. The lyrics are from a website called http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/markwills/dontlaughatme.html.  I hope you enjoy and that's all folks....

Don't Laugh at Me
By Mark Wills

"Don't Laugh At Me"

I'm a little boy with glasses
The one they call the geek
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I've got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels
To cry myself to sleep.

I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother
Tryin' to overcome my past
You don't have to be my friend
Is it too much to ask?

[Chorus:]
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me.

I'm the cripple on the corner
You pass me on the street
I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
And don't think that I don't notice
That our eyes never meet.

I lost my wife and little boy
Someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid 'em in the ground
Is the day I lost my mind
Right now I'm down to holdin'
This little cardboard sign.

[Chorus:]
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me.

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey aren't we all?

[Chorus:]
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same
Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me.

Song Lyrics

Do you ever seem to get one paticular song stuck in your head? I know I do. The song I can't seem to shift is "Impossible" by James Arthur. Don't ask me why this song just won't go but it won't. So I thought that I should probably share the lyrics in today's blog. So here they are according to the website http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/jamesarthur/impossible.html

 
Impossible
By James Arthur
 
 
"Impossible"
I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

And you were strong and I was not
My illusion, my mistake
I was careless, I forgot
I did

And now when all is done
There is nothing to say
You have gone and so effortlessly
You have won
You can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

Falling out of love is hard
Falling for betrayal is worse
Broken trust and broken hearts
I know, I know...
Thinking all you need is there
Building faith on love and words
Empty promises will wear
I know, I know...

And now when all is gone
There is nothing to say

And if you're done with embarrassing me
On your own you can go ahead tell them

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
All my scars are open
Tell them what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible

I remember years ago
Someone told me I should take
Caution when it comes to love
I did

Tell them all I know now
Shout it from the roof tops
Write it on the sky line
All we had is gone now

Tell them I was happy
And my heart is broken
Aaaawwwwwaaww what I hoped would be
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
Impossible, impossible
 
So folk's that's it for now. I will write more at a later date.

Welcome

Well if you are reading this you have probably done a search and come across me. I am an author....the author of Chloe learns her alphabet, The Orphanage, and On the Wings of love to be exact. My name is A.E. Crowe incase a few of you don't know that yet. This is my online blog. You will find mostly ramblings of my life, a few memories of my life growing up in Rome Georgia, my life in England, among other things.
I guess I could probably elaborate further on why I call myself an author. But what can I really say that wouldnt probably sound like some cliche' you have all heard before? I simply love to write, I have ideas rolling around in my head constantly. Funny thing is creativity never dropped far from the family tree....My dad is very creative as well. But he mainly writes songs and poetry. My Grand Father also was a man with immense creativity, he always said he would make it big singing some day....that was his motto. May he always R.I.P. I actually come from a rather large no so traditional Southern family. We all used to be close once upon a time as well. Notice I said used to be? Yeah every family drifts apart over the years....people coming in and out....some going away cause they can't help it...like my Grandmother for instance. She was wonderful. A real true humanitarian in fact. She was warm, nurturing, kind, loving, but most of all true to herself and others. She never faltered on judging people's character either. Have you figured out that I was closed to her? Yeah I was close to her as was majority of my family. Some didn't have her as long as most did though, she passed away in 2001 with Breast Cancer. I had the chance of knowing my Grandmother for 18years. The one thing that still remains in my family until this day is in fact how much they all loved her, sometimes if you are lucky you can get them to share the memories. I am getting off topic though.
I was elaborating further about why I decided to take up writing again.....yes you read right I said again. I used to write alot when I was a child. In fact if everyone thinks about what I was like growing up you can probably imagine me with a notebook, and pen in hand. I was always engrosed in some story that I was working on. I even dabbled a bit with poetry, short stories, and screen plays. I wish I had never stopped. It was one of the few things I was actually good at. But life got in the way and I lost sight of following writing as a dream. It wasn't until last year when a friend named Sam suggested that I take a hobby up that I thought more about it, or even getting published. I am very glad she gave me the push to pick writing back up as a hobby.  If she hadn't taken the time to suggest it I probably wouldn't have two novels published on various outlets on the web, and a children's book. Every day I try to write a full two pages on any novels that I am working on, I also try to work on any competitions as well. When I am not working on the novels, or competitions I am trying to work on my Hub Pages.
Now that I have elaborated furthur on the writing side of my life, I will leave that for a bit. I was born in Rome Georgia in the summer of 1982. It was very hot apparently, but then again for those who live in Georgia when is it not a scorcher during the months of June, July, and even August? Georgia in the summer time can be like living in a furnace. No matter what you do you can never seem to shift the sweat that pours from every pore of your skin, and there never seems to be any wind either during those months. It seems that Mother Nature always forgets that aspect of the weather. Another aspect about Georgia is the thunderstorms, which can literally grow into a tornado in a matter of minutes if you aren't careful. It's funny when I am talking to people in England about where I am from....I used to get "What's the weather like where you are from Amy?" They always seem delighted when I tell them about the weather whether it be tornados....or how warm Georgia is compared to England in the winter time....I will go into that more down the line.
I do apologize if this blog seems to jump to a lot of different topics all at one time, but that's how thoughts are processed even in my brain. Haha! I hope that doesn't mean that all of you are bored already because I have so much to talk about, that's part of the reason I decided to take up a blog. Some of the topics I will probably touch base on will be Family, Friends, Life, Love, the pursuit of Happiness, Writing, Humor and others that I haven't thought of yet. I hope you have enjoyed the first entry of this blog.
