Click here for the rest of the ramble.

Dalai Lama

The whole reason I started this blog was to just post random shit and random thoughts that go through my mind.  The main thing that got this started with me is that I have a hard time getting thoughts out of my head and into someone else's without thinking it out and re-running it through my head 15 different times to make sure it sounds good and make sure so as not to offend anyone. When I write it down, what seems to come into my head goes down on paper. A lot of times when I talk about something, the way it comes out, even though it sounds good to me, never really makes sense to anyone else. I don't know if it's the way I think, what I think about, or the way I express it that causes this. I have a few very close people, friends and loved ones who, I don't know if they do understand, or if they're just agreeing with me just to shut me up, but they say they do. But that's just my paranoia coming out. I value these people as I do my own family, and I'm not even sure they realize that. I just want them to know this fact, and they know who they are, because I would go out of my way, so that if they need something, not necessarily monetarily or even help with things around the house. I make sure that they have someone to talk to, because I really know the value of that. Just letting someone else hear your problems, and even if they don't relate to that particular problem, they can understand your frustration when it happens. So I guess the whole point in this rambling is go out. Find someone you can relate to, and just talk. Get it out there. It helps immensely. And if you can't find someone at a particular time. I guess make a blog about it.

There's lots of places I'd like to visit, but most notably a few Western European nations such as the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, Iceland, and France. I'd also love to go to Japan, Australia and India to see the Dalai Lama.

I'm just setting up things today.  I'm new to Tumblr, so still a lot to learn, and don't really know of anyone personally that has a self-styled blog up here so it's all being learned from a first person perspective.  I made the account just to give myself somewhere to put my ramblings and thoughts that go through my head. I've had a lot of different things going on lately and just need some kind of outlet, so I figure here's as good a place as any.  I've got a twitter and Facebook account that I do sometimes vent on, but even then, I tend to filter everything because I have friends and family on both and I'm not the type to purposefully hurt anyone's feelings. That being said, Tumblr will be my white board, my clay if you will, of anything and everything, it comes up, it will come out, and it may not even make any sense at first. I have a tendency to ramble on and won't get to the point until 3 conversations later.  So anyway, until next time.

Another great site with a weekly "Friday Shirk Report" featuring 20 images, 10 articles and 5 videos from around the web from the previous week. I've lost hours of time going through his website and still haven't gone all the way through it.

To appease my sadistic side, I visit FailBlog quite religiously. I have found some real gems up there a lot of times.
