So this is what I've decided to do with my spare time.
Welcome one and all! First and foremost, this is and always will be a constant work in progress. I've recently come to the realization that I'm great at coming up with all kinds of amazing projects and ideas. However, I'm terrible at seeing them through until the end. I had a great idea a few months back to gather my ideas in some form of writing. This, of course, evolved into a screenplay...which turned into a novel...which transformed itself into a self-help video series...which gave way to a really poor attempt at stand-up comedy...and finally looked as though it would end up as one of those completely pointless books that you always find on coffee tables in model homes. You know the ones I'm talking about, no one actually reads them but everyone is quick to flip through the pages as if to say, "Hmmm, I don't really care about your thoughts or ideas but I do respect your right to publish them." People love to have these ridiculous wastes of paper and ink handy whenever they're faced with extreme boredom or put into an awkward situation. I've even caught myself staring at the cover of several books thinking, "Wow this hard back book on Mediterranean Architecture sure would be great for the coffee table." So after all the soul searching and self loathing, as well as some good advice from a close friend, I've decided to turn to this and embrace my disfunction. It's truly beautiful. I can literally write on here the rest of my life and never finish anything, yet somehow it will still be considered a success. So for anyone that reads this please understand that sometimes it may seem a little jumbled and scatter-brained and every now and again it may read a little like a poor imitation of a Hunter S. Thompson memoir, but it comes from the heart. Enjoy.
