new 'literary' blog

I'm not sure if it really deserves the title 'literary', but I did start a blog for any of my original writes. It will include humor, candor, opinion, memory and whatever else seems interesting to write about.

oxymoron: a figure of speech that combines two normally contradictory terms

I am fascinated by oxymorons. While I am generally guided by a desire for the literally correct, somehow I have a deviated admiration for contradictions. I search for oxymorons in the books I read, in the names of products, in peoples' speech. I write with oxymorons, because "two sides to every coin" are still a part of the same coin. Light and darkness are opposites, but one doesn't exist with out the other - how else would they be defined? A person is alive, but dying slowly every second they live. Lemonade tastes both bitter and sweet. Contradictions are a part of everything.

So perhaps, my fascination with the contrary is in fact an embodiment of my desire for the literally correct. It is a paradox.
