What are you waiting for?
I'm relatively new to Fubar. Not so new to blogging. But this is what I think every time I find myself "blogging": Why? What am I doing? I don't know about all you people out there in this community, but I know I have a very VERY busy life. At least for being 22 with no children...at any rate, I go to school, maintain a rigid 4.0 GPA, while working full time, AND running my own business (in partnership with 2 others), which is in building houses. Needless to say, I have a lot going on. My life is very...full? You could say? So why am I online seeking to form relationships with people I don't (and most likely never will) actually know? Relationships based on blogs like this one, that, really, aren't talking about anything.
I put a lot of thought into the psychological root-functions of what I'm REALLY doing when I "waste" my time on things like this. The question is, if it was time wasted, would I really continue doing it? I'm sure there's tons of people here with virtually no lives, and for all intents and purposes, no skills. For people like that, it might be a lifestyle. But this is very far removed from my usual activity. I live in the real world. I'm a musician and a performer, a student, a work-horse, and honestly, a socialite. I actually have a general distaste for all things electronic and virtual. I don't play video games anymore, I haven't since I was about 16. I'm not a frequent facebooker, and I spend ZERO time in front of a television.
What makes this different? Well the only thing that could answer that question would be you people. Maybe this is just another one of the many forms of mental masturbation in which I partake to distract myself from the hustle of my daily life. Maybe this is just well needed relaxation for me. Or maybe I'll end up meeting some really cool people, with whom I may have some of the best times of my life. It's hard to say. But I am a traveler. I do get around. And I love to make friends in different places. So what I'm asking of you, fellow fubarians, is to show me your skills! Who are you? Why do I want to know you past your picture? Show me some minds, show me some ideas, show me some passion, show me some skills. I'm a slow starter in terms of putting MYself out there, but if given a reason, I'm a pretty cool guy to know, hailing from the lovely (and impoverished) city of Buffalo NY.
So tell me about yourselves. Someone, anyone. Lets trade stories. Lets BLOG >.< !!
