Initiation by fire...or doughnuts

 I had an epiphany. These happen on occasion, but last night, much more clearly than normal.

So, I was tossing around trying to fall asleep last night. I had a lot on my mind. Which is quite normal for me. I really have an active mind, to where people may think that I am severely ADD.

I tend to have varied opinions on different things throughout the span of a day. This can range from what I think about the local coffee joint, to political happenings, to the news that people ignore. However, many people do not realize how strong my opinions actually are, as I tend to be a relatively quiet individual in person, and reserve my opinion as to not cause problems with people and at times says things in ways that can seem abrasive. What can I say? I avoid conflict, which is ironic for a former rugby player.

This tends to lead to issues, as biting one's tongue can make someone lose their mind rather quickly, and in rare cases, appearing to be catty. Yet, I also do not want to seem like a total bitch when I say the popular local coffee place's coffee is sub-par, or if I think Americans need a swift kick in ass in regards to our mindset towards the rest of the world. So, how did I decide to put my opinions out there, for the world to react to?

Well, a blog of course. Might be a bit cliche, and I run the risk of sounding like some tween who's obsessed with Justin Bieber or Johnny Depp, but lucky for you, I hate that stuff, and I'm willing to risk going on a rant about Uganda's attempt to ban homosexuality.

 From day to day, the posting will mostly range, between my opinions of local shops around me, to events I went to, to political happenings, to some new books I've been reading, to potentially places I have visited that I think people should go and experience.  I'll try to keep this blog as sane as possible, but I can't guarantee anything. I mean, just look at the title of this post, I'm a spaz.  However, I know there will be poor souls who will find this blog and either be horrified, or highly entertained. My main goal, besides appeasing my ADD, is to have a blog that can be quintessentially undefinable, just as how life has many ups and downs.

Enjoy the ride, kids. And no, we're not turning this car around.
