So for the next few entries, I will be posting to both before making the cross-over to blogger complete. I'm not really sure if I even have any blogger friends. I should find some. The following is my most recent post.

Kahlil Gibran once wrote: “Your reason and your passion are the rudder and sails of your seafaring soul. If either be broken, you can but toss and drift or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas. For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining. And passion unattended is a flame that burns to its own destruction.”
I have felt for a long while now that I have been stuck at a crossroads. I was wrong. The crossroads are still farther down the road. The difference? I now have a positive direction and when I do get to that crossroads I will be able to make an informed and educated decision. I have taken the first steps that will allow me to be able to do something that I want to do. I’m excited

Tell me, have you these in your houses?
Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host and then a master?
Ay, and it becomes a tamer, and with hook and scourge makes puppets of your larger desires.
Though its hands are silken, its heart is of iron.
It lulls you to sleep only to stand by your bed and jeer at the dignity of the flesh.
It makes mock of your sound senses, and lays them in thistledown like fragile vessels.
Verily the lust for comfort murders the passion of the soul, and then walks grinning in the funeral.
I have not a lust for comfort...although it seems that you do. Yes, I have these tools. I've had them all along. It is only recently that I have discovered how to use them.
My passion cannot be murdered. Not by you. Not even by me. Stop trying.
