Back for the very third time....
Oh hi there! My name is Jonathan some people call me Jon, but if you're reading this you most likely knew that already. At some point towards the end of 2013 I decided that I wanted to start blogging again. Why you ask? Well I'll let you know when I figure it out. Seriously though I think writing is an great outlet, and thought it might be fun to share my thoughts with others. Thoughts on what? Well I'm glad you asked, and the answer is....any and everything. See I thought about focusing on one specific subject, but in all honesty that wouldn't work out to well. My certified ADD brain just doesn't work that way. I can however give any potential readers an idea of what you may find on here. My passions in life are Faith, Philosophy/Theology, Music, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and I also happen to be a huge fan of Science Fiction, Soccer(I prefer to call it Football but eh I'm an American living in America so what're ya gonna do), comic books, and video games. There's a lot more to me than that but I think you get the idea. The truth is though even with those passions and interest I listed I'm still going to talk about whatever my brain let's me focus on at that moment. Oh so I should probably explain why I named this first post "Back for the very third time..." well there are a few reasons for that. First it's a reference to a line from a Dilated Peoples song, second this is in fact my third attempt at blogging so it just seemed to fit. Actually come to think of it when I was setting up this account I came across my two old blogs which were also on blogger, and thought maybe I'd just pick up where I left off. After reading them again however I decided it was best to start over from scratch. My last post on the former blog was in 2007 I believe, and I realized pretty quickly that during that period I was younger, dumber, and over all very different from the person I am now. It really is amazing to me what an impact age, and experience have on you. One thing is for sure when I read some of my old post from the 1st blog my initial thought was "boy what a whiny bitch this guy is". Later on I thought about it more, and realized I wasn't reading it in context. The guy writing those post hadn't experienced any of the stuff he was complaining about before and had no idea what to do. He never would've admitted it but he was scared to death, and very hurt by some things that happened or were happening in his life. It wasn't a game anymore everything that happened from here on out was on him. He'd seen his enemy and it's name was naivety. I still wish this guy would've manned up a little sooner, but he got there. The second attempt at blogging wasn't much better because that guy was attempting to be someone he clearly was not, but I don't want to be too hard on him he was still trying to figure out who he was. Also he was me, and I know a lot more about me than I did back then so I know he began to figure it out eventually. So yeah that was a long winded way of saying it was better to leave the past where it belongs. I think that about says it all for now. I'm planning on doing at least one more post this month and I plan to do to do a minimum of one post per month after that (hopefully more). So until next time I leave you with this!
