A new blog is born.
Ok, I finally broke down and started a blog. I guess this just adds something else to my list of projects to keep up with. At least this one does not have a due date. I am really not sure why I caved in on creating one of these things. I really don't like to write recreationally, but I guess it will give me some place to express my thoughts only I get to hear. For many of you these thoughts will not make sense, part of the reason I called the blog "My ramblings...". For others of you my life has nothing to offer compared to yours but hopefully you can find some insight or at least get a good laugh out of it. I will also warn you that some of this might seem boring to the majority of readers, but with the help of a friend I have realized that my life is not that boring. Sharing it with people that can appreciate where you are coming from is the key! With that in mind, let the blogging begin.
My thoughts for today...
I had a really interesting conversation with a friend today. Several things were put into perspective or should I say brought to light. I have thanked this friend for what they did for me because I have always been the listening ear never really the one who gets to talk. Although I did not express much communication with my friend I hope that this will serve the purpose. A major point that I am tiring to cope with is our security pocket we create for our selves. Our inability to step outside of this pocket holds most of us down myself included. But I question is it our inability to step out or our unwillingness. This is something I have been pondering at great length for the last couple of hours. As much as I would like to admit that I have the inability to overcome that boundary I have to think is just because I don't want to. We talk about change and the good things that can come from change which I completely agree with. But how do we effect the correct change in order to change our flaws or weaknesses. I will borrow a quote from my friend for a minute "Change sets us free. B.R.B.". Once again I can totally see the logic behind this phrase; the problem is identifying the specifics that we need to change in our lives. I can see some of the problems but how do I change them? How do you change a total mindset?
Ok, that was really deep for my first blog, but it has got me thinking maybe you too. I wouldn't be surprised to see more on this at a latter point. Until next time, thanks for listening.

Larry,
I cannot express how happy I am that you have started this. Step one to coming out of this imagined proctective pocket... the first step in confindence in over coming your insecurities is admitting them to yourself! You have done this!
Yes you have always been my ear, my pillar of strength when I was weak, my sounding board when I was pissed, my shoulder when I was sad. There is no better friend than that which I have found in you! You along with my papa are the two men in my life that have never let me down... Never have you allowed me to return the favor, and there have been times when I know you needed it. Though on the inside I just wanted to yell and say "Don't you realize I am your FRIEND?" I knew that you would just need time... when you are ready... I am here, I have always been here... you do not have to brave this world alone! You are a funny, charming, honest, charismatic man. Beleive in Yourself, because everyone you let into that pocket does! You touch the lives of those you let in... Share the wealth!
