So what, exactly, is this blog supposed to be about anyway? Tell me you haven’t asked yourself that question, cuz even though I’m not a betting man (well, I suppose I am once in a VERY great while…), I’d bet you have asked just that. Or at least something similar. This post will be an attempt to answer that deep, dark, mysterious answer.
There will be several things on this blog, some with a point, some without, and some with something somewhere in between. Obviously, there are a few pages, and as you can tell, some are specific, and some are definitely not. Wood Works, for example, will be — well, tell you what. I’ll do one of those indent/bullett point lists. Here you go:
- Just for the Heck of It - I’m thinking this is pretty self-explanatory. These posts will be random ones, without any real place in the greater design of the other pages on Weed Works. They could be anything from a dissertation on book to movie adaptations (yes, I have a very strong opinion on those…), to my thoughts on how I stinking hate virtually anything SEC football related. They can go toot their own horn in another galaxy for all I care, and the college football world would be better off for it. A post could also be about those little quirky things in life that I often see. For example: ever notice how people line up to get onto an airplane - even if they have assigned seats? “Quick! Let’s do the line-shuffle for half an hour before we actually sit down again! How exciting! I can’t wait!” You’ll probably also see Christian specific posts here too. I often get a hankering to write about something I heard in a sermon, or read in the Bible, or any other epiphany type moments related to God and Jesus and the Holy Spirit and that whole religious thing.
- Mid-Life Crisis - Since I’m 42, married with children, in a stale job, finances are in a shamble, and life is generally not what I had expected it to be, I could make the argument that I’m in mid-life crisis mode. So every now and then I’ll write about how my life sucks, and how much I want it to change. These type of posts will land on this page. (editorial note: my life doesn’t really suck, and I do love my wife and kids (but not so much my job - I mean, it’s okay, just not what I really want to be doing), so these posts might be more tongue in cheek style…more on that later)
- Wood Works - as I mentioned before (which you hopefully read…) I am an amateur woodworker. I almost always seem to have one project or another going. Now that I have a blog, I’ll try to take pictures of my projects and tell you all about them. This page will mostly be about my trials and tribulations in the shop, and less of a step-by-step on the projects. There are enough of those World Wide Web-wide that I don’t need to add to them.
- Writing Works - I like the fantasy genre. Not the adult-type fantasy, but the swords and magic and elves and fairy creature fantasy type. That’s about all I read. Often I read a book that makes me think “if this person can write this kind of garbage and get paid for it, I could write similar garbage and get paid for it too.” However, the number of books and short stories I have started is far greater than how many I have actually finished. I do have one story line all outlined out, from beginning to end. It also includes multiple character sketches (the written kind, not the artsy kind…), location sketches, and various and sundry other items. What I hope to do on this page is publish the story as I write it. Maybe if I have an audience who is waiting for the next page-gripping chapter, I may actually write said next page-gripping chapter and post it.
So that’s it! Yes, I’ve thought about writing separate blogs for each of the topics, but since I’m just getting started, I’ll keep them all on one blog. If one or more get simply too big for this blog’s britches, then I’ll look into starting another blog.
