First Blog, The Begining of Greatness!
June 28, 2007
Dear Blog,
So here it goes. I figured I would jump on the bandwagon finally. Just like I jumped on the Internet back in 98 with AOL with a 56k modem.
OK for real, I do like to write. I decided to start this thing last night at 3am. Of course at that time the webpage was not working correctly. I didn’t think I was stupid.
I am starting this out as one person’s opinion (my opinion of course). Basically I have many opinions and interests. I read that when creating a blog I should stick to a topic. I will most likely be speaking about Philosophy and Religion a lot, but I can’t imagine not writing about special personal events and sometimes just senseless things too.
So the senseless reason for starting this small opinion in the largest network called the web is me just getting older. This is a new departure from my fountain pen and journals. Over the past several years I have filled three journals from teenager angst to young adult soul searching. Next year I am going to be 30. I am still soul searching by all means, but I am trying to come to terms with full adulthood. It is a weird period in life. I know I am not old however at the same time I cannot be reliving the good old college days.
I feel that I am not alone in this respect. It is a balancing act of being responsible and effervescent at the same time. I should be thinking about kids. And I do. I think I am absolutely terrified of having one right now. I am having the best time of my life with my wife. I finally have a house, dogs, sports car, big screen TV, and international vacations. I don’t want to give up late poker nights on the weekend. I think a lot about myself and my life. A sperm/egg thingy will really cramp my style and what extra spending money I have. Needless to say I still think about it (the sperm/egg thingy). I am stuck in the middle. And No. I am not about to have the midlife crisis breakdown yet. Life is good and my choices are good. Nothing really big and dramatic happening here. My main problem is a brain that is at times over analytical in situations.
If someone does find my ramblings interesting, then first off, that someone is the coolest, and secondly, it would be a complete surprise. Honestly I am doing this for myself and just seeing what happens in this new medium. I plan on updating this blog weekly. Let’s see how well I keep my word. Then again I am a typical lazy man, sometimes, so says my wife.
Cheers,
Petyr The Great
P.S. The whole greatness thing is only me being silly. I really don’t have delusions of grandeur. I don’t think… I guess I will see.
