In my mind the blog is a snapshot into the interactions and thoughts that I may have on a day to day basis, thus some might be very short, almost anecdotal in nature, and some might be longer as I attempt to explain something and flesh out a response, either reviewing my own or eliciting one from you the reader.
Some have been of a very personal nature and some just a causal observation that stuck with me and made me want to share it.
I don't believe I've ever just done an entry that was fluff or to get something posted, you'll never see an entry about me seeing a guy riding a unicycle and that is all I say, not anything like that, but you might see something like me observing a family out biking and noticing all the kids wearing helmets but not the parents, a perfect case of do what I say and not what I do.....a message those kids might take up years later when they become parents themselves.
Blog posts might just be entertaining and they might be me voicing my social voice over events I see happening around the world - Charlie Hebdo Massacre, Charlottesville Riots, or even my take on the new 24/7 comedy channel called the Trump Presidency.
The blog is nothing more than the ramblings of a white middle class, middle aged man as he stumbles through life watching his daughter begin to raise her own family, his son start that exciting period of life known as university, attempting to consistently hit 90 on the links, all the while searching for the one woman he thinks is imperfectly perfect for himself.
The blog won't make me any money nor will it win me any literary prizes, it probably won't help me find the one, though stranger things have happened, but than none of those were my objective when I started this little project more than 4 years ago and over 400+ entries later. No, it was more just about getting things off my chest in order to maintain a sense of inner emotional balance and hopefully helping others who might be thinking, feeling, or experiencing some of the same things, sort of my way of raising my hand to say you aren't alone in this big scary thing we call life, lets get through it together the best we can and hopefully along the way share a laugh, maybe a tear, and always a smile at the end of the day.
So with that said let me remind you that life is not something to record from the sidelines but rather to be experienced first hand, with all it's twists, ups and downs, to be embraced as much as possible, but to never let just one experience or day define who we are, we are so much more and should never forget that.
My name is Marcus and this is my story for better or worse as told through this blog.
