No, seriously, I don't know.
Someone tell me. If perhaps I knew where this is going, this whole process might be a bit easier.
I've been told I have a certain skill with writing. Finesse, panache, flair... Good words? It sounds to me like some people are just trying to make me feel better for spilling my guts all over a keyboard, with many, many words and syllables.
I have been known to write a lot. Both during my four year stint at Waterloo and then during my time in China, until the "Party" (fun word for a pretty unfun group) shut down access to Wordpress. Still, I have worked on my writing quite a bit and I might agree that perhaps I have got a little skill with it... Though I also often edit the balls out of what I've written to make myself sound eloquent, well spoken and funny. All things I am often not. A little from column A (skill) and a little from column B (editing), perhaps. I will however, attempt to not turn this blog into a series of over-edited diatribes and waste everyone's time. Most notably, my own. ....Though now that I think about it, this is for me, reader, so fuck you!... If I wanna go off on a topic I will! I'm pretty good at the occasional (every day?) diatribe. I'll just try to avoid the over-editing.
So. What the hell am I doing here? My best friend suggested that starting a blog again might be a good experience... cathartic (love that word) even. I've been struggling to find some personal direction. Perhaps my thoughts-cum-penmanship might help me find a path, or at the very least could be a good outlet for some serious angst I hold within. I don't anticipate (nor perhaps want) legions of followers for my brains chicken scratch on the internet. That just seems awkward. But at the same time I do think that there may be a few people that might be interested in what I have to say. Might.
What are my interests then? What in the hell shall I ever write about? I fully expect to end up scribbling random notes of nonsense on the occasion. Random thoughts and considerations. But likely more often than not I'll end up on here spending an hour (...ugh, really?) carefully detailing a post regarding my interests.... Food. Fitness. Fun.
I'm a cook. I eat well. I workout. These things I do in spades. I occasionally like to do things that one might consider "fun" or "entertaining". Perhaps that might show up in my thoughts here at some point. But really, I'm intending on this blog being an outlet for my fitness and food interests. I love food and enjoy the hell out of talking to people about cooking. And fitness? Working out? I usually spend an hour or two a day doing some kind of exercise... Maybe I can motivate some others to do the same? It is good for you... and goddamn it makes you feel good.
I'm getting ahead of myself. Nobody's reading this shit yet. And again... this isn't *really* for you. We will see how this goes. I can say with confidence however, that I am never going to get derailed into rambling about stupid shit like Miley Cyrus' floppy ass, or ... God knows what.
And now here we are. I've spent some time writing and "where is this going?" has now, maybe, turned into something concrete. Well, perhaps as "concrete" as words on the internet can get... But it is an intended direction. Safe to say that is better than nothing. I'll try to keep up on the writing. Call me selfish, but... For me. Not for you.
yo fam, you should try creative writing :D
