Welcome to My Blog

Ok, before you comment on the title of the blog, first read my rationale for the naming. You know that old saying that "If your friends jumped off a bridge, would you?" I guess the answer the answer to that question for me is yes, i guess i would. Now on the surface that statement seems to imply that jumping off a bridge is a dangerous activity, or that is the impression you get when your mom uses it anyway. But if you think about it, you really don't know anything about the "bridge" so you really can't judge the safety of the jump. Perhaps the bridge isn't really all that high, and perhaps there is water or pillows at the base of the bridge. Maybe my legs are bound with bungee cords, who knows. On top of that, my friends aren't really That stupid, so if ALL of my friends were jumping off the bridge, i think that i'd be compelled to join them and jump off that bridge. Besides, i'd be really bored up on that bridge by myself. So to that end I have named this blog "Jumping Off a Bridge." Sometimes you have to take a risk in life, or "jump off a bridge", otherwise life might seem a little boring.

I can't promise that this blog is going to be too entertaining, or even updated that often. What i can promise is that there will be limited speling misteaks (thinks two bilt-in spill chicker) as well what will appear as a limited knowledge of proper grammar. I'll do my best not to offend anyone, but i can assure you that is impossible unless all of my blogs go something like this: " ". just the fact that you say anything at all almost guarantees that somebody is going to be offended/disagree, but i'll do my best. In reality, i imagine that there are only about 10 people who might actually Ever read this blog, and at best probably 2 who will check back to see if I have written anything clever or witty on a regular basis.

They say there are two types of people in this world, the "glass is half empty" kind, and the "glass is half full" variety. I don't really know what kind of "glass" person I am, that really all depends on what's in that glass. If you're talking Sweetwater 420, then I prefer to be a "Half Full" type of guy (really All full), but in reality i end up being an "Empty" kind of guy, or in college a double-glass kind of guy. And if we're talking about beer, i actually prefer mine out of the bottle, you can keep the glass. But if, alas, the glass if filled with cough syrup or rubbing alcohol then i'll be leaning on the "half empty" side, assuming I don't have a cold or any urgent need for rubbing alcohol. Basically the point I am bumbling to get to is that I know what kind of guy I am, a over-thinker. Now the good thing about that is that I've read a blog or two and most of them seem to be written about really stupid things people observe, it worked for Seinfeld. The bad news is that I am neither Larry David or Jerry Seinfeld, but I did stay at a holiday inn last night (side note: I feel that line is Way underused). But hopefully my wondering thoughts translate into some good blog material.

With all of that said, I welcome you to my blog.
