salutations

i have decided to make a blog. here are a couple things that you may like to know about me to begin. i live in the tampa bay area. st. petersburg to be exact. i am thirty. i'm male.

alright,

what i would like to do with this space here is have a chance to wander off the pages of facebook (and myspace and twitter and message boards and youtube) to reflect on how i feel about the life and the world with me inside it. this space here i welcome you to. i welcome your feedback and your views. in the course of the coming months or however long i come back to post, i may make you laugh. i may make you freaking angry. i may offend you. i really don't care about that. i just hope that i can get my point across and that it is appreciated. i do not claim right off the bat to be unbiased. that would bore me to walk the line.

i have come to a crossroads. i need to be myself completely and without apology. for so long, i have felt the need to self-censor myself right before, and i mean literally a split-second before i choose the words i am about to utter. i would say that about 50 percent of the time, i tend to smooth out what i will say. maybe that makes some sense for social situations where you don't want to throw-up on a foreign dignitary like the first george bush, but it really does me no good here. if you are not liking what i say, then move on.

but know this: this will not be about just views on one thing like politics. it will have self-analysis of life. ideas about the world. a cheap shot towards the dallas cowboys. my favorite food creations. music, friends, drinks, the south, money, women, douchebags, whatever. it will not have a central theme except variety itself. i may come back to an idea you find funny every once in awhile and explore it. i may type about one thing once and never revisit it again.

i think what may end up happening is that you will see that a lot goes on in the head of a thirty year old guy who still has yet to really begin his life. it's a diary of what's to be with what has just occurred. i am going to be honest. completely. it has to be since i am writing this to myself.

take a walk with me. who knows what lies ahead.
