Cursery Rhymes (Cannon #1)

"Please don’t be put off by all these crowns that I’ve been flaunting
because the funny thing about it is I’d rather be forgotten
So when I go you can put me on display inside of a glass coffin
and I’ll grant you one last pleasantry of watching me inside there rotting

Decided I wanted to run some things around this space and town
so then I gingerly cut off my wings and traded in my halo for a crown
These days all I need is some tender and a skirt in an urban gown
one that wears her smiles grandeurly- but looks even prettier with a frown

I wont bore you with the story about a King with a cold Queen
but if you’re piqued- I will grant you access for just a small one time fee
A heart and a soul sold separately is all that I will need
and with that go forth, enjoy yourself and then please kindly leave."

Foreword

When I created this blog I didn't really intend to "speak my mind". I intended this blog to be used to showcase the things I make. Short stories, art, comedy- whatever. To come totally clean, I just kinda wanted a place to put my old blogs that I had on my myspace because I want rid of that god awful thing.

So, I have this- let me utilize it.
However, most of the people who I want to see these things that I produce don't know me, have ever heard of me and don't know that I exist.

So allow my to introduce myself.

I was given the birth name of William, I'm also known as Wombat to many though. That nickname is the only thing I decided to take with me from my past life. I use my nickname to sign my work. I feel that putting my birth name on work is odd and to be honest, I don't feel that Will creates anything. Will is a soon to be quarter-aged college student who lives at home and is for the most part- miserable- and miserable people do not create anything but misery.

Wom is an artist, writer, poet, designer, philosopher, photographer, actor, director, clown, all around media producing powerhouse- and a complete egomaniac.

This character was born in mid to late 2008. William was crushed beneath the weight of his events and experiences and couldn't take the pressure anymore. He split in two- right down the middle if you can believe it. The two pieces fell onto the ceiling with unbelievable speed and grace-breaking apart as they bombarded through the atmosphere. The fiery pieces slowly began to come back together and rebuild themselves over some time (as all things in nature tend to do). The two work as one but in very different roles.

William is the miserable, home bound, poor but thriving college student.
Wombat is THE creator.
Two as one- living in a perfectly efficient harmony.

I'm not crazy- well a little maybe but not "dangerous to myself or others" crazy.

So what now?

Well, I don't know. I want you to see the evolution- really, I just want you to process what I shove down your throat. I am growing as a producer everyday. I learn new things all the time- as do we all.

These are my confessions, my chronicles- my soon to be legacy.
This is all I have to offer.

I am not afraid.

It's nice to make your acquaintance.
