OMG AN ACTUAL POST?!?!?!?


This blog is always always ALWAYS hard to write. This difficulty arises from a variety of things. They are as follows:

1.     I am lazy. No that isn’t right. I am beyond lazy. Writing is hard and it takes work and I have no idea how anyone has written anything ever.
2.     This brings me to my second point. I am an awful writer. Give me a complex mathematical problem and I would be more than happy to struggle through it. Writing, though, is not something I will struggle through. It makes me uncomfortable and frustrated because I don’t understand grammar or spelling or words in general. (Sorry Mom and my multiple teachers. I know you taught me this stuff, but it never stuck) I would rather have many other terrible things happen to me than  to write this blog. Don’t get me wrong. I love being able to share with my friends and family, but actually physically getting the words from my head into the blog is excruciating.
3.     I have gotten busy and when I am not busy I like to go into a “coma”. This is not a real coma where people sit and hold your hand and talk to you and hope you do (or maybe don’t) wake up. I mean a stuff my face with food, watch TV, and sleep. I do pretty much anything I possible can do except write this.
4.     I have to remember what I took pictures of. My memory is awful. I see a picture I took two days earlier and I think, “What was that?!?!?” I also tend to just wander around and take some pictures of things I find cool, but I have no idea what they are when I am taking the picture. A good majority of the time, I don’t even know where I am, so determining what something is called takes a lot of time trying to google map my journey and then google things like “Old building somewhere around Union Street or maybe Commons Lane or maybe something else. Please just tell me what the heck I took a picture of.” As you can see, I am really good at finding these things.


 So you are probably thinking, “if this blog is such a pain, why did you start it?” That is a good question and here is a very simple explaination. I am crazy. Throw me in the mad house. Here is what I think I was thinking, but being mad, I really have no idea.
1.     I thought I would have no friends and my life would revolve around the computer. My life does revolve around the computer, but I actually made friends. It was a miracle of all miracles because let’s be honest, I am not the most friendly, kind, outgoing, wonderful, patient, and a million other words that are related to good people. I am, however, a very arrogant, stubborn, self centered, egotistical, beautiful, and most importantly ENTERTAINING person. Plus I can take a lot of shit from people and tend not to cry
2.     I wanted to keep in contact with my family with less effort. (Oh hey there laziness! Way to come back full circle to bite me) I thought it would be easier to inform the entire family where I was and what I was doing, but in fact it isn’t or more accurately, it hasn’t been.
3.     I wanted to brag. Not going to lie. Full honesty here. I wanted to rub some of my travels into people’s faces without actually having to seem like a terrible person by actually rubbing their faces in it. This of course is directed at a few people I am friends with or more accurately was friends with to see how much I don’t need them. Is it cruel? Hell Yes! Does it make me feel better? Occasionally.

Can I count this as an update? As you can tell I am still alive, Yay! I am currently writing one of the more recent trips up now, while it is sort of fresh, so there is a possibility that you may (or may not) see it soon. Go me! As for the older trips, I have all the pictures uploaded on the blog, but I haven’t published them as the words are still floating around my head.
