This is my second attempt at a blog, so chances are, this one will fail miserably, too. About me - 34 year old guy living outside of Boston who loves long walks on the beach, pina coladas and getting caught in the rain. I know, cheesy. My attempt at humor sometimes falls short, so I self-deprecate. It makes sense! Really, it does.
In all seriousness, why am I blogging? Well, two main reasons: I want to write a book and this is a creative outlet for me to get the writer's block out of the way. And secondly, well, sometimes stuff is too funny not to share. I want to have one of those blogs that everyone follows and then one day, some massive blog entity wants me to write for them and pay me big bucks to share my thoughts. Pipe dreams, yes. Far off? I am not sure.
Here is a little more about me. I recently left the man I shared the last seven years of my life with. Those of you who know him know he is a good guy - we just weren't "made to last forever." I moved out a month ago - back to paying rent, keeping utilities down to a minimum, and enjoying city living on the cheap. So if you are reading this, and would like a gourmet meal, bring me some wine and I will cook for you better than any restaurant can. I can thank my mom for that lesson - one of many I have learned in my 34 years that I am FINALLY appreciating.
So why am I really blogging? Well, truth be told, I have been crying a lot lately - for no other reason other than frustration. Today for example, I heard "Promises" by Eric Clapton and began to sob uncontrollably. Now before you all go saying"It sounds like you are dealing with a little depression," I can honestly tell you, I am not... confirmed by the MDs. I am not depressed - I am just going through the motions. We have happy days, we have sad days, and sometimes, we have fat days... those are the ones I have been having a lot of lately. I have always found keeping a journal to be incredibly cathartic, so I can channel my frustrations through words without feeling like I am bogging people down with my problems. It's a win-win!
My goal here - to entertain and educate. I can be snarky... I am ok with that, as should you be. You have been forewarned (insert maniacal laugh here!).
I hope you continue to read... and I continue to write. I promise not to sound too trite. Well, not all the time. Maybe a little of the time. Wait, maybe once a week. Who knows? I guarantee, this will be fun. Now if only I can figure out this putting on pictures stuff.... damn technology!
