When I started my blog I couldn't decide which direction that I wanted to travel with my words and "proclamations". So after a few days with still no direction and ideas I had a thought. There doesn't have to be some specific route that I have to take with my blog since after all it is my blog and if I don't want anyone to see what is on my mind then that is on me. Lets give this a shot and see how it turns out.
A few years ago I began to think about how I wanted to continually carry myself and what type of "man" did I want/need to be. I have always been the calm guy at times that you just don't want to piss off but as a whole I'm the guy you want to be friends with. I'm the one you call when times are tough. And I am always the one to make a joke to get every ones spirits up. I don't believe in carrying any stresses and certainly believe that I am strong enough to carry the weight with someone else that is having problems with their "walk" as some would like to call it.
Today it the old saying came to me that goes something along these lines, "dance like no one is watching, love blah blah blah" we all know where it goes. With that I thought that I could adapt that old school mantra and put some big boy spin on it. it should be "live for no one else, love without parameters and speak with a purpose". With this short rant I believe that it will carry you much further in life and make you much more appealing to the general population, as well as make your life more YOU!! Not to say that the one people have put on those stupid bumper stickers or the funny wall hangings is wrong, just that I believe that mine will appeal to a different set of people. Often times we go through life trying to live for others and often forget that for the more than most part that this is our life, and we are the ones that we should be trying to please and satisfy. Since at the end of the day we have to face ourselves in the mirror and we all know that is where the most harsh judgements are applied!
So let me end this first post with a quick little tidbit.I am blessed!! Truly blessed more than I deserve and that this life, even as tough and unforgiving as it may sometimes be is one that I could not live without!!
Until next time!!
