Opening Scene

I truly believe there are people out there who have the ability to sit and have absolutely no thoughts running through their mind. They don’t think about what they need to do tomorrow, what they will wear to work the next day or why - in fact - the sky is blue. I, however, am not that kind of person. Whether a blessing or a curse my mind is constantly churning. What I am trying to say is I have the ability to analyze a cucumber! The most exhausting part about all of this is that apparently I do not know where the off switch is? A thought as simple as, “what am I going to do this weekend,” can quickly turn into a well detailed tantrum on the struggles of the middle-class and the status of my rather pathetic recent-graduate finances. Instead of thinking, “maybe I will go to the movies,” I am furious about the fact that Carrie Bradshaw could never live the life she lived, doting several hundred dollar Manolo Blahniks, on a columnists salary; a column which appeared in a free paper mind you. Already I am having a hard time articulating my opening statement!

Essentially the idea behind this blog is to question, ponder and think beyond the obvious. I am constantly amazed and often nauseated by human nature and emotion. The way we react to life’s little twists and turns could never be fabricated by even the most creative of writers. This is why I have decided to place the quote by William Shakespeare above. And of course there will be a random assortment of less dramatic entries, these will likely be comprised of, “Seriously, the funniest thing happened today,” type stories! So I invite you to read my entries and be a part of my evolution as a writer.
