From the onset of this new blog, I’d like to stop for a moment and give thanks.

Thanks to a few. Thanks to the God who created me and gave me fingers, a mind, and a desire to write. Without God, my life would be merely a drab piece of discolored and moldy paper.

Enter fiancee, or “fiAWnce”as we like to call her. Kacey has been major source of inspiration in my life, and our engagement is merely a down payment, or a seed that will grow into an amazing future.

A future that consists of more than a piece paper, but rather a canvas with many quick and long brush strokes…Beautiful ones, ugly ones, short ones and long ones. This is the canvas of life.

This blog will be a place where I’ll share my dreams, opinions and outlooks. I’ll rant and rave, I’ll write poetry, I’ll posit crazy questions…At times my tone will be arrogant, cranky, other-focused, heart broken, and glad…(insert other emotions here)

I hope that at all times it will be real. That’s all I can promise to do…To keep it real…And in the meantime, if it happens to brighten your day or add a smile to your face, or place a unique thought in your head, then I will have done something worthwhile.

So, if you’d like to join me, please do…Thoughts and comments are welcome, and I’ll extend an invitation to friends at times to write their posts as my guests… Grab a glass of wine, coffee, or bottle of water, and as Terrell Owens says “pop your popcorn” and enjoy.
