This Place Is Scary

Let's Try This One Mo' 'gain...

This is not the first, second, or maybe even third time I've set out to have one of these. I've used blogs as journals, therapy, and places to take out the trash over the years. All of them have been torched for one reason or another. 

I decided to launch this as a smaller part of the greater whole of a webpage dedicated to my life's work. Audacious as that may sound, I have been looking back at the things I have accomplished over the years. I have a shitty sense of self, and I rarely acknowledge my worth in anything. As a matter of fact, I spend half of the small amount of time I spend in a mirror cussing myself out and giving myself the finger. But, here I am.

Closer to forty than I am to thirty, I have spent almost three whole decades of my life creating things. I have written stories and scripts, drawn pictures, painted representations of my pain and mental illnesses, recorded music, directed series' and short films, even built some furniture in my time. Those things aren't to be forgotten in the mix of it all. Life moves along at a pretty crazy pace and the fact that we've made any progress at all can be so easily forgotten. 

This post may be short, mostly because I don't want to overstay my welcome. However, I intend to update with regularity. 

It may get wild.

It may be boring.

It may just be countless paragraphs of my two favorite words repeating until they no longer have any meaning. Either way, I'm happy to be here.
