"Well, ain't that a kick in the pants!?!"

Life has been referred to as a roller coaster, a journey, a mystery ... for me, it has been all of those things and more. Not because I've led this ubber interesting life or done amazing things but because I am trying, as hard as I can, to learn. And sometimes, learning something about life isn't easy. Sometimes, it hurts or it's arduous or it even sucks. But I'm thankful to draw breath and continue this trip called life, even if it gives me a kick in the butt at times....

I wanna be a writer...

So, I'm bored out of my ever loving mind tonight at work.  This is the third night of sheer boredom and I have looked at nearly everything I can think of on the internet; that's work appropriate, that is.  I've been through Pinterest about 56 times and I'm over Facebook.  Tonight, I came across a freaking hilarious blog.  Some funny stuff.  And as I read that blog, I realize two of my biggest goals in life.  Two goals that I haven't achieved (....not sure I ever will.)

Goal one.  Be a writer.  I mean, I kind of already am a writer.  In my own mind.  I've been keeping a journal since I was a teenager.  (I wish I still had some of those journals!  They would have been a hoot to read!)  I started doing a little blogging, erratically, that is.  I actually have two blogs.  This one, a more general themed blog and one titled Life is a Journey Every Day.  That one is more focused on my weight challenges and my sleeve gastrectomy journey.  I digress.  Anyway, I blog on occasion but not very consistently.  I kind of get defeated when I don't reach Goal two with my blog.

Goal two....I want to be a funny writer.  You know, someone who writes these witty, interesting blogs that get people coming back to and chuckling when they read.  Sometimes, I write something funny.  But it's really not my strong suit, even if I really WANT to be funny.  I try so hard (probably part of the problem.)  I'm just not genetically engineered to be as humorous as I would like. *sigh*

So, here I am working on the ever present goals of life.... writing funny things... fail.
