Learning is a long road.

But it's kind of exciting too, don't you think? Things you never knew, or even never knew you never knew. Sometimes you learn something that was there all along, but you never paused to soak it up. Humans are incredible, really. You, me...even that one guy who sits in the back of the classroom jiggling his legs trying to be sneaky about playing Tetris. He's amazing too.

It's so easy to hate. But learning is the enemy of hate, I think. In a basic way. There are so many reasons to hate a person, or a group. But when you learn a little about them, you realize how similar we are. How we are all fighting our battles. How we are all just trying to hate ourselves a little less, and find someone to love us a little more.

Learning is key. Learning about others, about ourselves. About the past, and current, the ahead. About how to sew a button, or how to give a proper kiss. There's so much learning to be done, so much knowledge to acquire. That's exciting too. It's a goal, after all. To grow, without growing old.

Hahaha, look at me ramble. So many words, with so little importance. There isn't even a little nugget of wisdom here, is there?

Oh well.

Live and learn.

Making lists.

Lists are one of my favorite things. They are surprisingly helpful little tools, and I find I make one most every day. You’ll probably be seeing a lot of lists, of varied content. They help me keep things in check, remind me what to do, and are basically a good way to fill time. I have a little black book, where I do in it is write lists.

I love lists. Grocery Lists, Playlists, all of the lists. All of them. In fact, I’m going to write one right now,  and then copy it into my book later.

List of things I one day want to do:

1.       Learn to make flash animations.

2.       Travel the world.

3.       Make an apple pie.

4.       Hug someone when they need it most.

5.       Make more lists.

6.       Paint something amazing.

7.       Swim in a fountain. Again.

8.       Kiss in the rain.

9.       Finish, publish, sell my book/graphic novel.

10.   Inspire someone.

Just from making this one little thing, it made me think about all of my life ahead of me. Sometimes it looks like a longer life, and sometimes it could just be a few more years. Who knows? It’s kind of exciting, not knowing. In a scary kind of haunted house way. 

Getting the ball rolling.

Welcome, friends, to my barrel of retarded fun.

As you can likely assume from the title, there will be much ado about nothing here. I simply made this blog at an attempt to profoundly word myself, collect my thoughts, share my discoveries, and grow up a little. Much of what you’ll read about here will be of my journey as an aspiring artist. But think of this as a fun grab-bag of hootenanny and tomfoolery.

To be frank, I don’t even know what I’m doing here. I suppose it’s a desperate attempt to get my words out of my head before they consume me. Or on a lighter note, it could just be exactly what it sounds like.

Stupid enjoyment.

However, in the future this may change. Since I am a slightly capricious person, and people minds tend to wander (as mine does almost exclusively), eventually the content will change. On some days I may be serious, on others, I may simply post links to things that make me giggle. I might even add little excerpts from my current project(s). Who knows? It will be quite the adventure.

I hope you enjoy the ride. There’s a lot of fun to be had, and we’re practically rolling in it.
