01: Go.
This is for me.
Let’s get that out of the way now.
Of course I want to positively harness the thoughts pouring out of my head. The posts here will be shared to converse, educate, opine, journal, or just slow down and breathe through all of these goings on.
That’s why I’m here. This is me making a writing comeback to piece together the colliding particles of our world and my life. This is me staking out my newest corner of the Internet.
Like my man Speed Racer (winning above, racing below), I have only had one mission for months.
Go.
Go. Go. Go.
In this unequivocally godforsaken Year of Our Lord, also known as 2020, this is not a complaint. Life in America is too volatile for a healthy, employed, fortunate guy to honestly kvetch right now.
There’s just no time to stop.
From one sports tournament…
Go.
To yet another work crisis…
Go.
While life keeps on coming…
Go.
It’s a lot to manage. It’s a lot to bury inside. For reasons to be revealed, it’ll only get more wild soon enough. But I’ve resolved to only move forward over the last few years — might have something to do with marrying a motivated and accomplished partner — and so I’ll make like Speed and hammer that overdrive button and soak up cheers from strangers once I’ve crossed a finish line.
Go.
Keeping up at this pace means cataloging and digesting all of this. I’ll try to accomplish that here.
There will be words, photos, assorted content and empire building.
Almost all of it will be mediocre and too personal, but this is for me, remember? I want to remember the scenery and smell my roses as I speed by.
I’ll stay higher level here than whatever Xanga or Tumblr efforts I sent off into the ether before I had any adult (see also: real) concerns. And I’ll tag topics or headers or what to expect as well as I can. Some upcoming possibilities…
Being Brown as America sees Black and White
Work From Home hobbies
Social media management
Costco: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Rotisserie Chicken
Sports parent emails
Destruction of modern discourse through TV news and GIFs
Benefits of a balanced diet
Why winners win
Thanks for reading and starting this journey with me.
Let’s go.
