OFFICIALLY ON VACATION MODE!

Officially on vacation mode!
During this time I will be resurrecting my blog 'Away with Words'. A lot of interesting stuff I published here dates back to 2007 and stretches all the way to 2009. These were incredibly creative and productive years of my life as I wrote a lot.
As I 'stumbled' upon my blog this evening after my last day at work, I realised that I obviously had a lot on my mind back then that just needed to find its way onto a blank canvas.
At that particular point in time, I had recently arrived in Australia as a Masters student. I had a lot of free time on my hands which I wisely channeled into this blog in the form of verses and prose.
I wrote about every single conceivable topic, from a review on the 40th Anniversary of The Beatles' Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band Album to a Poem on the Global Financial Crisis entitled 'Green Benjamins' (http://fpimentel.blogspot.com.au/2008/…/green-benjamins.html).
And there were poems. Myriads of them.
Ground Control to Major Tom: I'm returning to the 'zone' again.
Let the writing begin.
