Why we do the things we do?
I started this blog basically to keep track of the thoughts that go on in my head. It was supposed to be a blog about food, cooking, meals I've eaten etc. Well if you have read my blog, I've mentioned al sharpton and Venezuelan (president) Hugo Chavez more than I talk about food. Don't get me wrong food is a very important part of my life, being Portuguese you tend to revolve your life around it, in fact right now I am thinking about what I am going to cook for dinner tonight and it is 7:30 IN THE MORNING!
There are so many blogs about food and as soon as my webmaster Tommy gets back from his honeymoon/survivalist adventure, I will give you a list of good food sites that I visit along with some other tidbits.
What I'm getting at is this blog has taken on a life of its own and I really like doing it, it is kinda of like writing a diary (never wrote in one but my sister did, I knew where she kept the key and everything) but everyone has the key to this diary you don't have to keep the key taped to the back of your Duran Duran poster, (my sister is going to kill me)
Every week or so I check the web traffic to my site and I am averaging about 60-70 hits a day, I didn't think I even knew 60-70 people that well, on really good days I get over a hundred. I originally started out writing this blog for only a few people and that was so that they didn't have to listen to me on the phone during the day. This blog really helps me get things out of my head so that I can move onto other things and I don't get in a rut, personally, professionally and emotionally.
I encourage everyone who has trouble letting shit go or feels like they are in a rut to write the things down that bother them and get it out of their heads because when you see it on paper or little computer screen it becomes real. You can look at with your own eyes kinda like when Luke Skywalker removed Darth Vader's mask at the end of "Return of the Jedi" at he saw his father and his father saw him. It brings an end to things and then you can move on with your life.
