Welcome

Welcome, friends.

My name is Dan. Well, my given name is Daniel, but Dan is just fine. Either is fine, really, as long as we abstain from Daniel Joseph. Daniel Joseph makes my skin crawl.

Daniel Joseph. Yeesh. Those four seemingly innocent syllables remind me of my fire-breathing dragon mother. Well, most of the time she is a wonderful lady,  but in those recurring moments when I fail to make my bed, miss curfew, or sleep in late, she manages to tower over me, which is quite a feat, figuring I'm almost a foot taller than her.

In those unfortunate moments, she grows into a much more formidable figure, like when Mario finds a mushroom, and shrinking, I become "DANNYUUUUULLLL JOSSSSSEFFFFFF!" So you can call me Daniel, or Dan for short. Hold the Joseph. I'd be just fine with that.

In my quest to become a better writer and (more importantly) a better person, I've created this blog as a therapeutic diary of sorts. I plan to share my limited insight on life, a few of my opinions, and all things hysterically absurd that happen to me.

Like a lot of things in life, with writing, the more you do it, the better you become at it, or the easier it becomes for you to do it. That also includes, but is not limited to, distance running, playing a musical instrument, embarrassing yourself in front of large crowds of people, and eating copious amounts of food. All of which I do on a regular basis, and all of which you will surely be learning about in the coming posts.

Once again: welcome. I hope this blog will give you something. A truth, a laugh, a smile. Only time will tell.

Thanks for stopping by.
