What Is This Blog?

Nobody thinks their life is particularly interesting. I have been told that my life is a little interesting.

I don't like talking about myself and it's become a problem, and I want to try to get over that. But the snippets I have shared with people makes them wonder why I think I'm boring.

I mean, to me, I am inherently boring. However, I do admit that my life is a constant stream of sitcom situations with location and "casting" changes when things get stale. For example, I've had my job for four years and I've had 7 promotions. They trained me from the ground up, and I don't stick out more than any one person in my company - it's just the way my life goes.

My youngest brother says I'm lucky, but I'm really not. I've never won more than $100 in a lottery. I've had some very dark and trying times, as if the story needed stakes. I might be fictional. This is an existential crisis I have often.

But because I want to get good at talking about myself, and because I have been told that my life is at least slightly more interesting than other people's lives, I'm going to try to share it.

I don't know how this will go. We'll just see how it all turns out.

Also, I grew up in the 80s and 90s, so... this is going to be a pictureless novel. I might be able to sneak in a picture here and there, but there just aren't that many.

That Time I Broke a Wall with My Brother

I've had adventures other than almost dying. I mean, the amount of times I've almost died is probably more than average. My mom learned the baby Heimlich because I almost choked to death every single time I had cut up hot dogs as a baby. But this isn't a story about almost dying, because I should change it up a little. When I was 13, I broke a wall with my brother's ass. Then a few weeks later, he broke a window with my elbow. My family lived in Delaware in 1996 and 1997, and for some reason that was the year or so my younger brother and I just hated each other. I have two younger brothers, and the youngest one was smart and stayed out of it. But my brother I had the blood feud with was 11 at the time, and had expressed anger issues since birth. He Hulk smashed a pretty big and heavy dining room chair when he was eight. And when I was 13, I was all hormones. Add in the fact that we were latchkey kids and nobody was home to interfere when things got heated, things ...

I Have Lived in Five States

I was born in California, lived in California as a buffer between living in other states, and I currently live in California. California is my home, but it's not my only home. Home is where the heart is, and I left part of my heart in two other states. One I don't remember, and the other one can suck it. I have lived in five states. This is one of my go-to fun facts, because "I broke my head when I was three" is something I work up to in real life. So I'm a Californian through and through. I hate weather and humidity; I wear a sweatshirt and shorts; I can drive in 70 mph gusts of wind but fuck me if there's three snowflakes on the ground. But my parents were in the military, and as a baby, I lived in Kentucky. Here, I was apparently addicted to Gomer Pyle, and I learned the word "golly" from him. It was my first word. I also developed a love for at the time brand-new show Small Wonder , and I picked up a little brother. But then my parents gave u...

The Time I Got a Concussion From My Car Trunk

Children who grow up challenging Darwin do not grow up to be graceful adults. Case in point, in 2017, I got a concussion from my car trunk. This was not even the first time I fought a car trunk and lost. Way back in 1988, when I was about four and a half, my forehead was accidentally shut in a car trunk. The person who shut the trunk did not realize I was standing next to it, nor did they realize I was exactly the right height for that to be a problem. I slept it off at Grandma's. It was fine. I barely remember it, and the only reason I know it really happened is because when I got my first car at age 20, my mom got really nervous when I was showing off the trunk. But in 2017, I was a bit taller than I was in 1988. I mean, barely. I was a very tall child, but I stopped growing at 11. I also didn't have anyone else controlling the trunk. So, one may wonder how it is that a trunk managed to attack me a second time in my life at all. The damn Santa Anas. They're a fuckin...
