Life is Funny

The only thing you can be sure about in your life is that it will not turn out the way you expect it to. That's not necessarily a bad nor a good thing; it's just the way it is. If you think about the three thousand ways your life could turn out, you could be just about anywhere by now--a pilot, a politician, or a bum. Are you happy with the way it turned out? If not, I know who to blame:

You.

The same thing goes for me, of course. Honestly, when someone asks me if I'm happy with my life, of course I'm going to answer "yes!" I know that if my life is miserable, it's due to my own engineering. No one in their right mind would admit they are dissatisfied with their situation when they know their hands shape the life they lived.



Life is funny. People are funny. We should all be laughing a lot more than we do.

Plenty to Say but No One to Listen

Ah once again I return to the blog, the boon for all of us wanna-be writers who have illusions of grandeur. People blog for as many reasons as there are blogs, mine are purely selfish in motive.

That being said, I thank you for visiting, and if you find this blog uninspiring or bland, that's fine. You would probably find me likewise. I don't wake up every morning and try to find ways to impress people with my wit, wisdom, or ingenuity. Obviously my list of friendships are short.

People will automatically assume that a person is unhappy with such a situation, but alas, I am perfectly content in my small band of friends; I wouldn't trade them for anything.

One can never assume that the feeling is mutual, only hope it is. You'll find out when conflict comes. Oh, and it will come.

When I Get Around to It

Things I want to do when I turn 30:

• Write a book
• Write all my family and loved ones
• Get back in shape

Short list, you say? My mathematical calculations say that a short list has a higher chance of getting done than a long one. That, and those three things will take a year in themselves.

What type of book? I have always enjoyed fantasy literature, akin to Tolkein, Lewis, Jordan, so that is the genre I am most familiar with. I do have a background in military history, but I believe I can push that into the book. Having read over half of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series, I have little dobut that the ideas swirling around in my head are at least half as good as his. How does one sit down and write a book anway? We'll find out.

First Blog

The ironic thing about blogs is the ridiculous assumption anyone would think what you have to say is worth reading. That being said, I do not plan for anyone besides myself to check this on a regular basis. If you found this blog, either by a typo or some strange butterfly effect from eating a jelly donut and sneezing which caused you to click here, odds are that you didn't intend to.

Well, it's too late now; you're here, so you might as well stay and see what this blogger is all about. I've never met anyone who didn't have a lot to say about everything; it's just that most people don't care to hear what other folks' ideas, dreams, aspirations, fears, and passions are. Perhaps this blog will connect with you in some way; maybe not. But I do hope you enjoy it and check back often.

Oh, and clean up that jelly donut you sneezed on the keyboard; that stuff is hard to get out once it hardens.
