The End of the Beginning is the Beginning of the End...

I guess this is just a little intro to the blog "Counting Down to 30". For those of you who are meeting me for the first time, My name is Taylor and I am drastically approaching 30. But for those of you who already know I say "Hello!"

Now I know most people are gonna say that so what you are turning 30, no big deal. And frankly sure it's really no big deal, but it scares the shit out me. I'm not your normal 29 yr old guy. I spent the better part of my 20's in college studying anything and everything. And yet 11 years later I've received a degree which is a huge accomplishment for me, and I am very proud of it as well. However, after changing my degree and life plans many times, I am the proud owner of a piece of paper that in bold Old English font says Bachelors in Liberal Studies. Which for those of you who don't know, basically says they let me pile everything into and just get out of school. Sure I have my minors, but after this economy tanked right around graduation, my degree is basically useless.

Given that, everything I ever planned to have accomplished by the age of 30 have sunk to the ocean floor with whatever childhood dreams and fantasies I use to have in tow. I Have no wife, no kids, I'm driving the same car I've been driving since I started college (which is on it's last leg), I have no career and after 11 years in college still kind a have no clue what I want to do for one, Hell I don't even really have a job since I chose to do something I love over some mediocre $8/hr job that I had to drive 45 minutes to. So basically, with 30 creeping ever so closer, I'm back at square one.

Let me state that I don't know if anyone will actually read this Blog, or even for that matter truely care if people do. I'm sure my family will humor themselves at my expense and read along, but this is meant more for me. I'm choosing to do this to record the last stretch of my 20's and to get back into writing on a daily basis.

As a forewarning to all who reads this, This blog may be boring at times while at others very exciting and fun. It may make you cry and it may make you laugh, fuck it might just make you laugh out loud at times, and not that LOL laughing that people type in insinuate laughing, but actually laugh out loud, a chuckle or even milk out the nostrils, so be careful while reading in a public place. If I know you, chances are you will be mentioned in a post or two, or all if I either am around you all the time or dislike you enough to just make fun of you non-stop. I may or may not make up fake names to protect the innocent, or if I can't remember your name. I will probably talk badly about plenty of people places and things, but I will probably I also talk good about them as well. I will fall in and out of love at least once a week, maybe more. Despite my minor in Creative writing, I will probably never use correct grammar or punctuation or spelling, but I will try to post something everyday, even if it's just a dumb basic "Hello this is my post". But I want to try to write interesting things everyday. I don't know when I will write them, so if you are one of the few that actually read this, don't expect them all at 11:37am every morning... I'm not the newspaper and I'm never on time. I will apologize to everyone in advance if I offend anybody or make people mad, but this is my life and if you are apart of it feel privileged or jump off a bridge your choice. And lastly, by all means if you want to comment or feel the need to express your views or opinions about what I'm talking about... or even an idea about something I can write about please do... I'm all ears... or eyes since I will be reading it. But just remember this is my blog and everything must go through me before it's published in the comments, so don't be smart asses Rob, Strange, Eric, Clinton, Lee, Dave, Wes, and the rest of my heathen friends.

So is the end of the beginning the beginning of the end, or is it just simply the beginning of the beginning? I guess only time will tell.... 154 days and counting...
