Confused? Allow me to explain.
At some point we've all wished that our friends or family came with a guidebook. I, however, wish that I came with a guidebook so people would know exactly how to treat me. Say what you will about there being no spice to life in that aspect, but if you were (or happen to be) a personal friend of mine, you'd consider this the opportunity of a lifetime.
And so, I've taken it upon myself to write that very guidebook both for others, but especially for myself. It's often said that you learn something new every day. I look at that in a more selfish light - as in, why can't that new tidbit of information I learn everyday be about myself? Be it realizations or discoveries about what makes me tick or my odd habits, I feel it's all worth being documented. That brings me to this blog.
Others may add that this project is a tad self-absorbed. To that I say, hell yes it is. While I've always had an admiration for those who manage to write blogs of a certain theme, I do not rank myself with them. While the titles of these blog posts will relate to the topic of my own personal instruction manual, I'll take it upon myself to ramble about my mildly engaging life now and again.
I am a serial blog-maker. Meaning, I'll create a blog every so often, post obsessively in the first month, and then abandon the project altogether. So I will make sure now, as I do with every blogging endeavor that I start, that I will post regularly. Every Saturday seems reasonable, although that may be pushing the limits on my part.
Stop by every now and again, if you like. I'd be pleased to take you chapter by chapter through your own personal guide to me, with some unnecessary ramblings along the way. It already sounds like quite a journey.
