]]> For example, how about explaining what Twitter is? Or how about the reason why you’re blogging. Okay, I’ll take that one: I blog because writing is my natural predilection. I’ve gone years without writing much of anything, other than filling out applications and boring office-job related stuff. Let me tell you those years definitely felt unfulfilling. Even with a beautiful wife and growing family — there was still something missing in my life. Nowadays I go by a motto that goes something like “Writing will set me free” or “Write or die a slow painful death.” Yes I admit it harsh, but as I get older I start to realize that if we aren’t following our passions or doing things that we are naturally inclined to do than how purposeful are we going to feel later on? I’m standing by this idea. I know it’s much easier to work for the man and collect that salary and go home at five and mow the lawn every other week, but c’mon, those are only things you do to get by. Mediocrity is no longer an option. Struggling every now and then, with a grand goal and vision in mind, is so worth it. So I hope I’m not sounding out of place on this blog, even though maybe only one or two people are reading it at this point. But you all wait and see. It’s only a matter of time (and really really hard work) that my writing will indeed set me free. And I still got one minute to spare. That’s how you write a blog post in 15 14 minutes. Is it good? I really can’t say, but it sure was enjoyable to write. You decide…   UPDATE: Okay, I took an extra three minutes to reread and edit the post. But that’s not writing time. And I’d like to add that it’s not so important to sound eloquent or branch off into some grand ideaology — just write and focus and love every minute of it.
