Sexy. Witty. Hilarious. All of these…..are words.

Mom always told me to start a blog. I always told her that I was too cool for one. This is me caving in on the fact that mama sometimes does know best…

I can’t tell you what to expect from what I write. I’m sort of funny, but that’s only because dad told me I had better have a joke or two (to get the girls of course)…so maybe you’ll get a taste of that from some of what I talk about.

Most of the time, my thoughts or stories are pretty short. I don’t like big, lengthy write-ups so I try to stay away from that.

DISCLAIMER: I prefer to write exactly how I speak or think. If the words pop up in my head, I’m going to say them. Basically this is my roundabout way of saying I’m going to probably swear and say shit and fuck and ass or whatever else.

Speaking of shit, another thing I really enjoy, is doing shit. Not like, literally. But getting after it, seeing cool things, and pushing limits…I’ll get more into that later on.

And speaking of limits, I broke a couple “limits” when I fell from a third story balcony and crushed several vertebrae in my back. Being out of work, hobbies, sports, exercising, driving, (sex – which was painful ), going out, and just about anything else you can think of for three months, really sucked.

Here is the balcony I fell from. If you count up from the bottom balcony – I fell off the third one which is a little bit more than 35 feet up.

To beat you to the two follow up questions- yes, I was drinking and yes, I realize how lucky/blessed I am.

I’ve always told everyone I’m invincible, but this was cutting it close after all.

There were many things I learned while being in a back brace and laying down for three months. I will probably write more about them later, but for a few right off the bat:

• dogs are definitely man’s best friend
• there IS an end to Netflix
• life’s too short not to love others
• mac and cheese is okay to have as any meal of the day

(The last one has been a lifelong truth, but I figure it’s an okay reminder.)

But I was lucky I fell. It was the literal and figurative kick in the ass I needed to go find the things in life I really wanted. I spent hours upon hours looking online at exotic places to live, travel to, businesses to work for, and moments to experience.

-By the way, quick side note: did my whole “sexy witty hilarious” subliminal message with my very first sentence in this post work at all?-

There were mountains that needed climbing; oceans that needed swimming; roads that needed driving; companies that needed starting; lives that needed loving.

Time was up. I was no longer broken. It was time to make some moves.

Thus began the journey to acquiring the life I have always truly wanted.
