Hello. I'm New Here And Wanted To Introduce Myself.

Hello everyone,I came across this site while searching for a free web host and thought I'd join. My main reason for joining Xisto -as opposed to one of the competitors- is because I like the idea that people can earn their web hosting through being an active member of the forum. It promotes socialising, which I think is important in a world where we are becoming more and more isolated and anti-social what with the influx of technology and the innumerable pleasures that it bestows us (this is, at least, the case in my circles of friends and family).I suppose I better say a little about me, so here goes... I live in Australia and am currently doing my HSC; this is the Australian equivolent of the American Advanced Placement. My interests involve anything to do with computers/technology, surfing (I'm currently riding a 6'4" Webber Afterburner and 6'4" Misfit Fish), writing and learning.I better leave it at that as my class is about to begin, but thanks for taking the time to read my introduction. I look forward to being an active member of this forum

Hello Yordan. Thank you for the welcome

I've tried writing novels/books but have found that I can't stay motivated on a particular project for that long (I tend to have many projects that I start but never finish). I've written a few poems, my most recent being about a special day in my country called remembrance day. On this day, we remember our soldiers that have fought and died for us. I'm by no means a great poet and write mainly for myself, but I try to write about what I feel passionately towards.

The poem is as follows:

Remembrance

We commemorate the fallen
We remember those who passed
We bow our heads in silence
As our flag sits at half mast

We thank the men who went to war
To fight for what was right
We praise the men who went to war
Who showed their endless might

We owe those men our freedom
We owe those men our lives
We owe those men great respect
We even owe their wives

The loving wives and cheerful kids
Whom which the men adore
Were the motivation
For the men to go to war

Every time they took a hit
Every time they fell
They'd think towards their wives and kids
Then send their foes to hell

We won the fight, we saved our land
But at a mighty cost
Many men were killed at war
Many lives were lost

To all the men that fought and died
To the children and the wives
May your deeds of selflessness
In our minds remain alive

Thank you men, thank you wives
Thank you one and all
Thank you for the help you gave
However big or small.
