World News Archives: 

Here are the posts from the blog I created on myspace titled, The Pencil Kissed The Paper. That blog is in the process of deletion. 

Recently, I created a new (The Pencil Kissed The Paper) blog on WordPress but with different content.

Most of the posts from the myspace blog were hard news articles from around the world.

That is why I made the effort to archive them here. At some point the link to his section will find it's way to another blog I created titled "The World Stage" on WordPress. 

Starting in 2013 (The World Stage) will have also International news stories and features. 

Including all the news from the Olympic Games. However, when the Olympics begin no other news items will be posted until the games are other.
