  Hi, I'm Mike. Generic, I know, opening statements were never my strong suit, hell I would have never thought I'd be able to write as much as I do. I suppose that's the funny way life works, English was my weakest subject and now through some luck of the draw I've become a somewhat legible writer. Perhaps it's when we have something to write about, that we have the need to make it as eloquent as possible. To be able to convey a thought or view on a particular subject is very satisfying, so all in all this blog has been a long time coming.
  
  I have been lazy, there's no other way to put it. Laziness is the reason why I've had this blog since 2005 and have yet to post a entry in it. When I think back on it, these last 3 years have given me more material to pour my heart out over, more reasons to stand up on my soapbox and preach my good word. I've dealt with the 'rock' that I was under the assumption was my parents marriage, end in one morning. I'm sure too many people would read that and shrug, no big deal right? It's all relative I suppose, I was 21, as far as I knew, there were no problems, a few bickers here and there. Dad wasn't happy, mom became bitter and unfortunately for me, I was the oldest and was given the obligation of supporting a broken home. All things considered I pulled it off, moved out on my own and did what any self respecting 21 year old single male would do; partied like the world was ending.
  
  I saw my best friend at the time get married, stood by him, encouraged, supported. How was I supposed to know? That was the moment I lost my friend to the world of little league and Sunday school, I couldn't follow. So I went down the list of friends, but eventually the party ended and I was back to the work, sleep, work, sleep schedule. Was for the best, I calmed down, worked on making myself better at what I did, all the way until the fateful day that I was given the boot. So that leads me to where I am now, unemployed, living with my dad and his new family and actively reevaluating my life goals.
  
  There's a lot more to the story in between everything and perhaps I'll delve into some particulars in another entry. That's the great thing about your blog; it's yours. But right now I'm going to attempt this sleep thing I keep hearing about. Good night.
