Third Time's a Charm

Well, I’ve been trying to blog since February 2009 according to my empty Blogger account. I have written about horrifying experiences with roommates, my budding cooking career, and some other stuff, but nothing was really speaking to me. If even the writer thinks that their stuff is crap, well then that’s just not good. But as I was reading some of my friends blogs, I realized, you don’t have to tell just one story, you can wiggle around a bit, test the water and write about whatever you want, so that’s just what I’m going to do. I’ll still probably incorporate some of my older ideas but they won’t be the stars of the show. What is the star of the show? You tell me. That’s one of my problems; I never really know where I’m going with something until I’ve hit a wall I can only assume as my destination. I start a conversation and wonder where it will take me until the other person chuckles uncomfortably and walks away; I cook something until it’s ruined, but I eat it anyway because that would be a waste. Sometimes I tell myself that it was for learning experiences, but I know there’s a good chance, I’ll never attempt to make that recipe again. Sometimes the person I start a conversation will end up having something really cool to say, and I have an equally cool response and we end up being friends on Facebook; or that random meal turns out to be amazing and I remember why I’m going to culinary school in the first place, but overall, my life is a viscous cycle of negative, positive. Funny thing is whenever something, e.g. this cycle of outcomes starts negatively, there are always more negatives than positives. I’ve grown to accept it and now, I just think of my life making things interesting for me. I have had so many “learning experiences” I just don’t know what to do with myself. Theoretically, I should be the smartest, most interesting person in the world, but apparently the Dos Equis guy beat me to it. Stay thirsty, my friends.
