Jumping Off the Proverbial Cliff





Here I go.....my first blog.  I've been talking about doing something like this for awhile, and thinking about it for even longer.  I finally had to tell myself, "Just do it".  So I am. 

What can you expect from me?  Hopefully some funny, silly stories.  I bore enough people with them already and a few have said that I should write them down.  They may regret it.  You will read some funny pet stories, some funny me stories and who knows what else? 

I have recently taken a couple of creative writing courses.  Fiction writing was never something that I wanted to pursue, and now that I know what is really involved, I'm still pretty sure I don't want to...yet.  I prefer to write more about real life or just silly satire.  Maybe one day I will decide to take a short stroll down the fiction path, just to check out the topography, geography and atmosphere.  I may go further, I may abort.  That's what it's all about though - not getting too bored in life and getting that grey matter fired up once in awhile.

What can you not expect?  Don't expect any enlightenment or words of wisdom that will change your life (unless a story about one of my asshole cats is the epiphany that you have been waiting for. If so, I may be your saviour.).  I can pretty much promise that you will never read that word 'journey' here - that word that seems to be prevalent in our culture at the moment.  To me, Journey is a great 80's power ballad band, best listened to at top volume in your car.  While singing.  Loudly.  That's my kind of journey.



There will be self indulgence in this blog, but I'm forcing myself me to write and improve my writing skills.  I'm lazy.  I need schedules and goals to motivate me, otherwise, yup, guilty as charged...lazy.

Welcome,  and thank you for joining me on my journey...ha ha, just kidding, I couldn't resist.
