Daily Prompt – My Autobiography

Daily writing prompt
You’re writing your autobiography. What’s your opening sentence?

The answer to this question is… If you are reading this, I ask why?

My life doesn’t seem to merit an autobiography. So I would ask, why are you reading this. I am flattered by the interest, but isn’t there something else you could be doing with your time. My life is pretty boring. We all have our stories, but mine in retrospect wasn’t all that exciting. Sure, I have a blog, which is a chronicle of my life and what is going on in my weird head that is wired differently. I have no plans to pen the story of me.

Friends, I do want to say, thanks for your time and attention to my blog and a most eclectic compilation of posts.

A Photo Of Me In 2016

There is this thing online where people are posting pictures of them and other stuff from 2016. Now that is 10 years ago if my math is right. It seems like it was just yesterday or something like that. The picture I have chosen is from Universal Orlando Resorts City Walk in Orlando, Florida. Notice there is more hair and no beard. At least I was having fun.

Today Is My Birthday! I Am Thankful For 56 Wacky Years

August 29, 2025, I turned 56 years old. I will tell you that aging ages a man. Seriously, I am grateful for all the years I have been gifted. Today I reflect on what has been and what I hope will come in the future. I don’t always feel worthy, but I do appreciate all of those I have shared this life with. Thank you to my family and friends who put up with me. Let’s hope for more wacky fun down the road. Happy Birthday to me!

Question….

I have a question I would like you to answer for me. Do you find me and what I post interesting? Comments and constructive criticism welcomed.

Throwback Thursday

Time marches on and I look different don’t you think. I like my current look, I call it dork mode with an attitude.

Being Happy Or Something Like That, A Sunday Reflection

Happiness is a deeply personal thing that is so fluid and dynamic. I haven’t been truly happy for a long time. Sure I have had moments of joy but nothing long term. People worry about me because I am not full of happy awesome sauce right now and I appreciate their concern. Don’t worry about me. I am not suicidal or anything drastic.

The year 2019 took a lot out of me and I don’t know when my emotional tank will be full again. I suppose it takes a year of recovery to get over a year of hardship, emotional stress, and the death of my father. I am very much a work in progress. People who go through this come out different on the other side and I can accept this.

Believe me, I am grateful for all the support. It’s going to take a while. Being my old self might not be what is in the cards.
