New Found Glory

Know those days when you find a band you used to love, but forgot all about? And then, you stumble on them when listening to your iPod on shuffle? Well, count the guys of New Found Glory in that category for me this week/weekend. I've enjoyed listening to some of their older stuff that I haven't heard (thanks YouTube!)

So, I decided to start sharing writing that I come up with during the week. My "thing" is to take a word I've used, and try to create some short, three or four sentence writing piece designed around that word or thought. Today, I'm writing on the word "Serenity", which is ironically one of my favorite movies.

"They sat alone on the porch, taking in the autumn air. The pure serenity of the moment left him breathless. He sat and tried to swallow air, something to slow his heart down as the world slowed around him. Feeling her sitting next to him, warming his very soul, was something that he had wanted for a while. Now, being in the moment, he was as scared as a child who had done something wrong. Yet, seeing how beautiful she looked in that moment, everything began to feel right in the world around him"

So, give me thoughts people! I'm trying to flex my writing muscle so I can get my head right. That, and it helps with papers!
