I had a moment last night, while watching Biggest Loser. Yes, it's a reality show. I normally don't go for those things. But, while it's on the extreme and unrealistic scale of weight loss for the normal joe, it's nice to be able to relate with people and what they are going through while losing weight.
The part of the show last night that lead to me having that little twinge in your brain that screams "I want that!", in a non-materialistic way, was when the red team was looking over the hills. After treking up all that way, they were just taking a second to clear their minds. Justin is obviously emotional, and says something to the affect that he is "becoming the person he was meant to be".
I want that.
I feel that I've been very...passive...in the direction my life took in the past. It's time to change that. And this is what this blog will be about. It will be a personal blog about my path on changing myself to be who I want to be. I don't have a precise picture of exactly the person I want to be in an exact amount of time. But I do know that what I am doing now is not it. Yeah, there are some good points, and some steps I've already taken. But it's far from where I want to be.
Will there be pitfalls? Of course, which will probably be posted here in whiney annoying posts to vent. Will there be successes? Of course, which will be on here as well...probably in a estatic puppy, "don't know what's happening but it has to be good" type of energy. Will there be obscure references to something you might not understand? Of course, I'm a geek. But feel free to ask, and I will do my best to explain.
But this is a warning. I do use foul language at time, and I may put links up here stuff like my Relay for Life donation page, or for artist's webpages that inspire me but also have stuff to buy on it. If this offends you, consider yourself warned now. While my intention is to have people come on here and comment and *hopefully* be supportive, this is my personal evolution blog, so to say, and if I can't be myself, what's the point?
Anyways, as you can see, I can be a little verbose at times. I will tell you that this will probably be a common occurance, though for the sake of readership, I will try to tone it down.
In the end, welcome to my blog.
I commend you for starting a blog of your journey(without censorship)...I have been trying for YEARS but haven't figured out just how to begin. Spark is wonderful but sometime you cant say just exactly what you are feeling there.
ReplyDeleteLesson one - NEVER tone it down. *grins* Be yourself out loud! :)
