What This Is All About

This blog is not meant to be anything special and I am not going to try and make it more than what it is: an avenue to just write my thoughts down on digital paper.

I’m just an average college student figure out how to navigate through this life while striving to be a good husband and trying to hold everything together in the face of losing a loved one.

In less than two months time my entire world has been changed permanently, one huge event for the better and another one for the worse, so this here is to help me keep track of all the massive changes that has happened in my life.

Huge Life Event #1: On May 22nd, I got married. As one can imagine this is a huge deal for me. My life is no longer my own. Every little thing I do, from big decisions like where we should move to seemingly mundane things. Should I spend $60 on an impulse video game buy? It is no longer just my money anymore. “I” have become “we.” “Mine” is now “ours.” “Me” no longer exists, it is “us” now. As one can expect this is going to take some getting used to. It will be a funny journey, one that I feel needs to be written about.

Huge Life Event #2: On June 9th, was what I thought was an normal, if kind of boring, day for me, until I got a call at 11:36 my time. It turns out that my best friend Cazzie was shot down over Afghanistan and was killed in action. As one can imagine I was not too thrilled with this development. In life there are few times where you can actually pinpoint the moment where your life changed and that day, that moment is one of those times for myself as well as my wife.

There is no real structure to this blog. The content will range from (what I think are) funny stories from my life, stories about Cazzie and I, stories from when I was in the military, present day happenings and random musings. Most Some worthless, some that I need to write down for whatever reason. Every once and a while I may post a short story or creative snippet, depending on how lazy I am. To be warned, I am insanely lazy and distracted easily, so we’ll see how this goes.

Unless it pertains to me or mine I will not be writing about current events, politics, etc. That stuff is just way too messy and I know no one cares what I have to think.
