258

258 represents my body weight and not in the Arnold "I can bench your VW" sense. In the Papa John's at 3am sense. I started with that because everything that I think is negative in my life revolves around this number or this ever changing number. I am in my most recent attempt to lose weight, hey it's working today. I am approaching it like I should my drinking, "one day at a time". I have always wanted to create a blog. No one may ever read this or maybe they will, I don't know. I know my first message is pretty lame, but maybe it's more like a mission statement of trying to accomplish something other than not screwing up today.

I spent the last day since I created my blog looking at randomed blogs. There are all kinds of blogs, most I don't understand. I mean it's tough to creat a name for something you know nothing about. I chose The Faceless Many. This term always makes me think of a pamphlet or instructions that have humans without facial features, kind of mindlessly going around doing what they are told. A lot like myself. I am envious of the design of some, I do not know how to link to others yet, but I will eventually. I am a reasonably intelligent person. I do not know however the slightest bit about "code". I know that Neo was a badass in the Matrix, but that is the extent. Wow, people really have a lot of things to say. I am trying to remember a few that really caught my eye. There was this one about an attorney or it seemed public defender who gave anonymus accounts of her day's work. That was interesting. She called it fight court.

I know that before I started writing I was trying to determine how I wanted to sound. What type of person I was going to be on this blog. It made me think of a quote from a Tool song that now happens to be my profile statement, "All you know about me is what I sold ya!". How true. I am worried about spelling, or if you will think I am an idiot. Then I started thinking, you could be a college professor or you could be my friend's little brother. The point is this should be the one place I should be whatever goofy, jackass I want to be. I am basically a classic underachiever who has somehow convinced most people in my life that I am more than I am. I am trying to rectify things. I am getting married. I am trying to clean up my alcohol laden school record, so I can somehow be accepted back. I just moved back from Chicago, where I thought I was going to somehow take over the world without knowing anyone or having a great background. Also, I do not have a important sounding name. I was told by a well to do executive that makes a difference. That was a perfect example of why I moved back to my friends and family in Louisville.
So here it is. All out in the open ...

The begininng

I have been waiting to do something like this for quite sometime. I hope this is a positive experience and I am interested in learning more about blogging.
