My Thinking Corner

I’m a over 30 years old with 3 beautiful children, a wonderful wife, a good job and a good home.  So what’s my excuse for starting a web page dedicated to pissing and moaning and discovering my “creative” side? 

The answer starts three years ago when I first became a parent.  That forced me to seriously ask myself, “What do I want out of life?”  Being a good husband and parent are a big part of the answer to that question.  Being an uninformed corporate wage slave, is not.  So my (very) little rebellion against Yuppiness started. 

First, I started writing at work whenever I had a free moment.  They don’t mind taking a few hours from my life, I wanted to return the favor.  Second I began to read, not only the news, but also blogs analyzing the news.  Blogs aren’t the greatest source of truth but they can be pretty good at cutting through lies.  That led to me commenting on other Blogs like the Yellow Line and Donklephant. 

It was in reading and commenting on other blogs that I began to feel the need to carve out my own space for writing.  My first attempt, My Quarterlife Crisis, has been a good start but it still feels like a practice run.  So this, I hope will be more of a finished product.  A place where I can keep throwing bullshit against the wall to see what sticks and yet also put out some of the fiction writing that I’ve been doing and feel proud of.

Updated 8/22/07:  Sadly I had to reflect the fact that I’m no longer 31 years old.
