Happy New Year


Hello,

I was going to start this blog off with some cynical thoughts about how life is all about reproduction and the need to pass along ones DNA, but spending Christmas with family has put me in too good of a mood for that.  Instead, I want to wish everyone and wonderful New Year.  I hope you are spending it with people you like/love. 

P.S. This blog doesn’t need to make word count since I haven’t technically started the project.

The Introduction


So, the introduction.  This is usually the hardest post to write, but this time it isn’t so bad because I have been planning this project for a few days now.   Actually, if you count the original idea of a vlog, then it probably is more like a few months.  Maybe I should get to the actual content and write about my least favorite subject, me.  Don’t get me wrong, I think I am a wonderful person; I just find it hard to write about myself without finding it to sound conceited or pretentious. 

I am a 22 year old college graduate who is working at a part time job in the fast food business.  I blame not having found a full time job on “the economy”, but, to tell you the truth, I haven’t been looking that hard.  I go to apply for a job and then I chicken out because I am afraid of the new.  Instead of growing some balls and apply for a full time job I have decided to go to community college and learn sign language and astronomy.  This way I won’t have to worry about my student loans while ‘improving’ myself. 

Now that you know a little about me, I will tell you about my project:  I want to write a yearlong blog.  I know that it shouldn’t seem that tough, but I tend to lose steam on projects halfway through.  I figure if I write what I want to do in a public form, then I will be more likely to last the year.   On with the rules:   

Rules: 
  • Post at least once a week (week being defined as Sunday through Saturday) 
  • Each post has to be at least 100 words.
  • Must remain honest with myself and the reader

This is going to start on January 1st, but I might start blogging sooner if I still am bored because of forced vacation time.
