Shoot Your Shot

This is a blog post about how I'm starting a blog.  I've wanted to start a blog for a long time.  For some reason I seemed to always put it off.  This has been among the many ideas or desires floating around in my head that I gave myself excuses not to follow through with.  So I'm sitting here on my laptop at 10:45 p.m writing my initial blog post because if I don't just do it now it may never happen. That's an outlook that I'm trying to implement across many different areas of my life.  I've got to stop pump faking when no one's guarding me. I've been stopping myself , my own worst enemy on so many different occasions. For a myriad of reasons whether it's not believing in myself, or simply coming up with reasons as to why it won't work as opposed to what could happen.  Now I highly doubt this blog is going to change my life in a major way but it's a start in the right direction, a way to get into the habit of shooting my shot.  I hope for and almost expect this blog to be sort of therapeutic in a way.  If you know me and/or follow me on twitter, you know that I have a lot to say.  This is my canvas, this is my podium.  Contrary to my ever growing disdain for all things school related, I actually love to write.  But I only enjoy writing on my own terms. Life doesn't come with a prompt, in text citations or an annotated bibliography. We all have to figure it out on the fly, and that's how I prefer to write. So this blog will be my voice. This can be my platform to speak my mind, even if no one is listening.  I wanted to develop a certain schedule, such as having a post every friday or something of the sort.  But that strays away from the very purpose of this, doesn't it?  So I intend to write something literally whenever. About whatever. Sports, music, life, who knows. If you're reading this, first off thank you sincerely for caring even the slightest about what I have to say, and consider this your invitation to come along for the journey. But I doubt that I'm alone in holding myself back from things I want.  There's probably something that you've wanted to do or try but you've given yourself every reason as to why you can't or shouldn't. A wise man once said "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take". Stop pump faking, shoot your shot.
