THE STARTING OF THE BLOG

Go on! Take it all in! Breathe deep!

(inhales...RETCHES)

Oh geez. What a minute...this blog smells TERRIBLE.

I'm really sorry, everyone. To be honest, I don't know what a new blog is supposed to smell like. But I assure you I had absolutely no idea that it would smell like ROTTEN GARBAGE.

Can I tell you something? I'm a bit relieved that this first blog post is a bit of a mess. Let's just set that bar nice and low, shall we? Maybe that will take some pressure off and I'll feel more inclined to post here.

See, the bios on my social media say, "I'm trying to organize my brain and make things." The problem is that social media can be distracting and stressful. So for now, I'm hoping this is a better platform for organizing things.

The dumpster photo at the beginning of this post is one that I snapped at an apartment complex where I used to live. Overspilling dumpsters can be pretty common at apartment complexes. It would really bother me at the time. Those garbage trucks can't just take couches and mattresses, can they? Still, part of me looks at this photo and hopes that it was still a good clean fresh start for those folks as they went new places. And for the record, this trash is NOT mine. Sometimes I try to be a rebel...but not when it comes to trash rules. C'mon!

Anyway, sweeping out those cobwebs. Doing new things. Good for them, I say!

I will try to do the same.

Here is an old trash doodle:

Happy New Year, everyone.
