Instead of our usual Life articles that we feature every issue. This week we want to bring you something a little different from the Bleach perspective. I guess you could call it a modified mission statement.

One of the original intents of bleach was to allow the readers a chance to express themselves. Everyone has a talent. No matter if you can write songs, poetry, short fictitious stories or what ever. I know there must be many bleach readers that have at least one of these or something else related as a hobby.

Are you afraid to let people see your work or read it? It's perfectly understandable; everybody fears rejection, and ridicule especially when it comes to something that you pour your heart and soul into. God knows I do, it takes a lot to show somebody what you created without the fear of them not liking it, and more so telling you that they hate it. But unfortunately it is and will continue to be something that every one of us will have to go through, if we really want our work to be known. And everyone knows somebody that has a little tiny mind and is probably too stupid to accept anything that may be different. So there you go, I guess you know how I feel about these people.

But, anyway moving on, anybody who does read this and you are in some way an artist, send a piece of your work to us. No matter if it's a poem a story, or a painting whatever. Just make sure there is a way for us to get it on a computer. We will not disclose your name, unless of course you want us too! And if you want to you can even make up a bogus email to send it to us. It doesn't matter, as long as your work gets exposed. So here's your chance, got something that you want thousands of people to be able to see, drop us a line!
