Self proclaimed writer


I'm a self proclaimed writer. Not a craftsman.I'm better at breaking things then I ever will be at fixing them (so what buy a new one. lol). I can't put together furniture (heck, i have a hard time moving it from one side of the room to the next lol), but I can put together one hell of a blog (if desired). I can't (ok, won't) change the oil in a car, but damn am I good at writing for people. 

I am an under-average athlete but I can create sentences out of words that reach people and make them think and I hardly break a sweat doing it. There are a lot of things I'm not good at. I could spend my life trying to be better at them. I'd probably end up a little better than mediocre. I'll never be able to reverse driving directions in my head. I'll never be able to make it to work 52 weeks in a row without getting lost a few times. I have a strong feeling world peace is out of my control. There are so many things I will never do. There are so many things I will never be able to do. Who cares? It doesn't bother me that I'm not the best at whatever it is others expect me to be perfect at. It doesn't bother me that others can do things I have to but my butt trying to pull together. I do what I do and they do what they do, It is what it is and that's all that is will ever be.

This is what I want to do. I want to put words down that people get. That resonate. That make people think twice or three times or four times or five. I want to reach people with words that develop their thoughts. I want to make people laugh. It's hard to make people laugh on paper. Physical comedy is easy for me. Translating that humor and those experiences into the written word is my struggle.So while all of you are out there perfecting your craft, I will be here perfecting mine. All without breaking a sweat or using a blueprint or any input from anyone trying to perfect their view though my gift.
