"I could write a blog. I have thoughts."

Like Julie Powell from Julie & Julia I've done it. I have spent the past hour plus agonizing over colors and fonts and verbiage. This is my blog.

The question to address in this first post is "Why?"

Since a very young age I have loved writing. I am sure my mother could pull out some old spiral notebooks with stories I wrote. Stories about love and heartbreak and dreams coming true; kind of my modus operandi.

To be completely real 2013 knocked me on my ass. Being out of school...something I did for the majority of my life also knocked me on my ass. Moving to a city I thought would open its arms to me, moving so far from my family and my best friends...it was all too much. This blog is part of an attempt to get back on the horse that is supposed to be the life I want. You can read it or not. It's really for me more than you. It's selfish...I know, but don't worry, you'll get over it.

So why not just write a private journal? Because self accountability is not my strong suit. And because I know I'm not the only one out there trying to get his life together and find happiness. Any bookstore has a section that proves that. I figure if my triumphs and failures can help others learn then I have done some good. Or at least provided some amusement.

I have lived my life as a predictable human being. But hopefully this blog will not be that. Some days there will be music, some days there will be a book review, some days there will be discussions of a theatrical nature, some days there may even be tales of woe from my attempts to find the man of my dreams (uh oh!).

From here on out expect the unexpected! Maybe together we will figure something out. Maybe not...
