 I can show you the world. What world? Nooooo, ya can't. Sorry to burst your bubble. Bubble buddy. But the thing is the world has all it's shadows and corners and I don't get to see them. You don't even get to see them. I'm sure there's even places that no one gets to see. I would like to see those places. I'd rather walk down a beautiful hidden alley than to ever glance at the Eiffel Tower, because truth is I've already seen the Eiffel Tower thanks to the billions of tourists throwing their touristy Tower pictures at me. Yeah yeah a picture isn't the same, but I want to walk down that alley. Every story has a setting, and every setting has a story. Pretty sure this alley will have a better story behind it. If not, I'll make one. And then it can be my story and I'll write it however I want, ya dig? Good. What's your place? Where you wanna go? I have more places to go. Alley, check. Hmm, what else do I want to see. An abandoned bus, a broken ship, a crashed airplane, and your heart. Can I be there? In your heart. Maybe not. I want to be in empty places, and leave them with my memory. Just me. A little drop of a legacy just to throw off the groove of "emptiness". Maybe that's why you're a little scared, but that's okay. I can always wait to give your heart a little hug. Tug it my way. But don't worry, I'll stick around. Find me in the alley, I'm the one holding tears.

People always ask me why I write my blog the way I do. Mostly nonsense to those who don't understand it, and let's face it that's probably all of you. No offense. And yes my blog is for you to read, but it's also just to keep myself going sometimes. I'm a fan of self-expression and social media doesn't always do the job. Anyway, most blogs are full of opinionated rants on "issues" or "change the world" fantasies. Wee bit narcissist I'd think. The way to success is following your dreams, not throwing them at people who take a few minutes to read your meaningless rants. Blogging is such a hipster world, everyone else is saying the exact same thing. In fact, you probably got your ideas from someone else anyway, show some credit. Yes, I know the irony of me ranting on ranters but if you wanna win you gotta play the same game. So back to THIS blog that you're reading, I write it for fun. If I want you to think about something I'll bring it up in a fun way. People learn the most when they figure things out themselves with guidance, not from lists of do's and don'ts. I'd like to think of myself as more of a Dear Abby rather than a politician. Come to me with a problem and I'll give you a hug and kind words, not shove a law down your throat because it's the "way it should be". I don't know what's best for you, and neither do the ranters. Indirect expression is my specialty. If you feel guilty about something it's probably because you did something wrong, not because I told you so. So take my thoughts for what you want them to be. If you think I'm talking about you, fix what you think I'm talking about. Otherwise just enjoy it. My blog is not to point things out, but more so to "take a look" at your own experiences. My thoughts are small and not worth much- Chocolate is Brown.
