<< UPDATE >>

SO, IT APPEARS THAT I MAY HAVE GIVEN UP ON BLOGGING AS QUICKLY AS I HAD STARTED, MUCH LIKE WHEN I TOOK UP KARATE OR THE FRENCH HORN.  I THINK THIS WILL CHANGE IN THE FUTURE, UNTIL I FIND A NICHE' FOR MYSELF IN THIS MEDIUM.  WHAT I SEE HAPPENING, IS THAT I'M NOT SAVING ENOUGH OF WHAT I HAVE TO SAY FOR AN ENTIRE BLOG ENTRY, BECAUSE I'M GIVING SMALLER EDITORIALS THROUGHOUT THE DAY VIA FACEBOOK, ETC.


SO, FOR THE MEANTIME ANYWAY, FEEL FREE TO SEND A FRIEND REQUEST ON THERE, AS I THINK YOU'LL ENJOY THAT FOR THE SAME REASONS YOU INITIALLY CHOSE TO FOLLOW THIS BLOG AND I REALLY BELIEVE IT WILL DEVELOP BETTER FROM THERE AND GET THIS PART BACK ON TRACK.  THEN AGAIN, MAYBE THE DERAILING WAS WHAT YOU WERE INITIALLY ATTRACTED TO IN THE FIRST PLACE, SO EITHER WAY, IT'S A WIN/WIN FOR YOU...


STAY CLASSY,

It's official! I'm in print!!!!!

Ok, so it's not the New Yorker or anything remotely as prestigious, but it's a start.  And what have you done today that's so great?!  Thought so....

And so it begins...the next chapter....

It occurred to me on my morning walk with Stella, that although initially intended for comedic purposes only, this blog could serve as a pretty insightful glimpse into my less-than-conventional life (putting it mildly), IF you dare... 

I'm finding myself at another of life's crossroads and it's decision making time.  Some weeks ago, I found myself summarily superseded from my regular, nine-to-five, corporate hampster wheel (the details of which I don't see the need to go into) and even though initially there was pannicked disdain, guilt, downtrodden and depressed feeling, it quickly turned to that of overjoyed optomism and boundless potential.

"Do one thing every day that scares you."

See, I've always fancied myself more of a free thinker/free spirit than most and while the thought of changing careers every 5-10 years might send a sub-arctic chill up the spines of most, I very much welcome it.  It's kind of my humanitarian duty to make one less entrant in the human rat race.  This epiphany came one day at a happy hour while I stood in amazement at several corporate blowhards talking about what they did with their 9-10 hours that day.  So, I set out to find a way to take the 24 hours offered to me each day and keep as much of it as possible for myself, in lieu of giving it to some corporation and some task that probably (not in all cases...calm down) will mean nothing to anyone even 10 years from now.  Maybe I'll do it by way of this blog, writing the next great American novel or even knocking over liquor stores.  The point is, who really knows?  I look at it this way: No one ever got a guest spot on Letterman for sitting at a fuckin desk all day....

It seems when ever I do this life/career switcheroo, I tend towards the polar opposite of what I'm currently doing.  Years back, I left my cushy financial sector tech job for the motorcycle industry and even now, the switch from project management to massage therapy is a daunting one.  I promise, I will always keep you guessing.  But, in the end, I figure it will allow me the flexibility to write more and entertain you fine folks and also get in touch with my fellow humans (pun intended, laugh now...)


Be bold my friends.  Have yourself a bold ass day.....

WTF is a blog?

So, at the behest of lots of youz guys, I figured now was as good a time as any to start down this whole blogging path, just to see where it leads.  Pathetic though it may seem, this is born out of the realization that I have more to say than Facebook allows for.  I figure if I can make you laugh, piss you off or invoke even some kind of base emotion, then maybe we're onto something here....


Enjoy...
