Lost in Mindspace

As I sat down in an attempt to put thoughts to keyboard, I couldn’t figure out quite how to start. You see, my creative thought process is always a jumble. I never think in linear terms. I fashion myself as a bit of a writer, albeit a very lackadaisical one. When an idea comes to mind, it comes in pieces. I can get the general idea down, and piece parts of the story together and have an awesome rough draft put together in my head. However, when I sit down to quantify the story and put it down, I blank at beginnings.

I suppose, however, that’s how I am throughout life, period. Not very good at beginnings. I can make a good first impression, but its usually because I’m too shy to do anything but. However, new year; new beginnings. This is my attempt to change things around. I can’t really define this blog, because I have no idea what shape its going to take. There’s a lot I tend to think about in depth and there’s really no rhyme or reason as to why it happens. I can’t explain my thought process, so my only real hope is to put it into writing and hopefully somebody out there will have a good explanation that doesn’t involve pills or institutionalization.
This is officially my mental dumping ground. Whatever I think, hopefully I remember to put here. If you enjoy reading it (if anybody reads it), then good for you; I’m glad to make your life that much better. If you disagree, post as to why and maybe I’ll respond, if it’s something more eloquent than “Screw you, you suck and you’re stupid.” I know somebody will do that though, so kudos to you for being a dumbass in advance.

There’s a lot that can be seen here in the future. Sometimes, I will post half thought out story ideas that I come up with, with the intent to come back and maybe actually use them….or you can use them if you feel you can do it justice (just let me know and cut me in on the royalties, please). Maybe something will catch my eye in the world of politics or sports and I’ll feel the need to spout off at the mouth about it….it could be a lot of things, really. I’m interested in a lot- I watch a lot of TV, I read as many books as possible, and catch as many movies as I can. I’m the asshole at trivia night who knows absolutely everything about everything without having to think about it. That’s just how my mind works.

So, for those of you who end up reading this (probably nobody), I hope you enjoy a glimpse into what makes me tick. I just hope it doesn’t scare anybody.
