personal stories.

i’ve been thinking, a lot, about my personal stories.  the reasons i originally started writing on the web.  to record my life and share.  if you dive into the deep archives of this site, you’ll find lots of not very relevant (to you) recounts of my life interspersed with lots of bad grammar.

i like sharing things i feel are important and relevant to my life and yours.  i have a small fire burning about writing more personal things.  interesting stories, of course.  just like my “title” says.  everyday observations of regular people.  however you, or i, may take that.

eight years ago, when i graudated high school, everyone around me was so sure of their future.  the space in the yearbook where seniors have their last say was filled with unbridled stories of suburban success.  the landscaping companies, the expected children.  i just wrote that i knew i was taking the next step for one reason or another (“writing,” i put).  part of me can’t believe where it’s taken of me and part of me says, “you know john, this was probably terribly obvious.”

they might not be as relevant or interesting as you’d like me to be but i’ve accomplished a lot of cool things in the past 25 years and, like i used to - bad grammar and all, i want to start sharing those things again.
