Life is always challenging. Every time you think you have it figured out, it proves you wrong. It recently demonstrated to me that not only did I not have it figured out, but that I wasn’t even in the neighborhood.
Though i may have been drastically wrong about certain aspects in my life, I have always been right about one thing. That life is short and you have no excuses for not doing everything within your power to enjoy it. To go and see. To experience and learn. When life decides to do a drive by on your reality why sit around in your own depression? You can walk down the block. You can take a drive. You can meet a friend. You can literally be half way around the world tomorrow! There is just so much out there. Life is short but the world is endless.
That being said I have always been an adventurer. A traveler. I have been blessed to have had many great experiences. Recanting those adventures has always been a staple with my friends and family. They always enjoy my story telling. Or at least they tell me they do!!
I am by no means a writer. In fact most of my English teachers and writing professors would probably tell you an untrained, drunken monkey could hammer out a better story than I could! Guess what? They aren’t here and I’m not being graded! This wonderful medium with 500 million professional everything’s, known as the internet, allows me to say any damn thing I want! No one has to read it or enjoy it, well except my mother. She will always read anything I write. I think that is required somewhere in mom school? I’m positive she still chuckles to herself deep down when she thinks of some of the stories i wrote as a kid. Sort of that “when I read his stories I just thanked the lord he was good at math” type thing.
Regardless of my writing prowess, I am going to write this blog for the voice in my head. That dude never shuts the hell up! He drives me crazy! No, not the “I should mail bombs to people” crazy. The “psst hey!! It’s 4 am what’s going on?” Type crazy.
In a lot of ways I hope no one reads it. It won’t be politically correct and it won’t be well written. It will however be adventurous, fun, drunken and laden with rants and randomness and it hopefully will give that 4am voice some peace and quiet.
So mom, proceed with caution!
