I’ve been reading several biographies of various different people over the past few years and they were interesting. I thought about what it would be like to write my own eventually. Would I have enough life to make it worth while. I wrestled with all the questions above and then some. Even some others like:
Are you going to tell all your relatives’ stories?
Absolutely not at all. I’m telling my story. If I told any of their stories then it would be their story. It’s not supposed to be that way. It’s my story.
Your life isn’t even over yet?
Nobody knows how long they’ve got. If I write about things while still young, then it’ll be easier to remember and in the case of later events, fresh when it happens.
What’s the point in having the blog, if you’re just going to jam all of it back in to…whatever this turns out to be?
Thank you so much for asking. I’m not going to do that. In pre-production I do have a section about it, which I may as well put right here. It’ll save me a chapter later.
My Blog
It all started on October 29, 2010. My friends were super into blogs at the time and writing their own. One of my friends suggested that I should write one too. I didn’t think I’d have many ideas at the time, but it’s still going now. It started off on Blogger, then moved to WordPress.com. Now it has a place all its own with a crazy mexican domain name. It would be boring if it was a predictable .com. I write about anything here. Not every day. It’s not a diary per say. Neither is this.
How do we follow along?
One chapter at a time, like my other stories.
Are you trying to be a big star?
Not even a little bit.
What’s your purpose in writing all this?
Maybe if I am old, I’ll have younger friends who might want to understand how I came to be, no matter how small my life is. You never know.
When will this be finished?
If I remember to keep writing, and if I am given enough time, this one could take a while.
Why did you pick such a terrible picture of yourself for the cover?
So nobody will want to use it for anything else.
Anyway, this will be a different adventure. Hopefully you’ll enjoy it.
