The semicolon is way underused

I declare 2010 the year of the semicolon. You heard me. Everyone needs to use them more. I’ve been making a casual effort to use them wherever possible. It’s clearly one of the better punctuations that exists. I mean look at it; it’s like a comma and a period rolled into one. It’s a wink, it’s a vampiric pierce. It lets you tell a story with one sentence.  It eschews supposedly beauty-defining symmetry with a rebel yell.  Now get using them.
