What This Is


Alright, alright, alright, I know what you’re thinking.  This is a man blog; or rather a seventeen-year-old boy blog.  Actually, I’m not entirely sure what this is.  I’m not exactly sure what I am, in fact.  I’m a seventeen-year-old high school senior.  What does that mean?  I definitely don’t feel like I’m a man; there’s no such thing as a seventeen-year-old man. 
While I may not know exactly what I am, I feel that I know who I am.  I am myself.  There’s no one else like me.  I live my life.
 Living my life may go unnoticed by the majority of the people who see me on a daily basis.  I assume that most people who know who I am have no idea who I am.  I am seventeen years old, going on eighteen.  I never plan on growing up, but rather plan on eventually growing old without becoming someone I’m not.  I’m not an old man.  I never plan on acting like an old man, or even like an adult man.  I plan on always acting like myself.
 I consider myself a stone’s throw away from being sane and about a stone’s throw and a half away from being insane.  I don’t hate that I’m certifiably crazy. 
In the morning, when there’s horrible, obnoxious noises stuck inside me, I let them out.  I like having a good time.  I enjoy virtually every genre of music in some form or another.  I play the piano.  I’m not very good at dancing, but I do it anyway.  I like good food.  I try to eat as healthy as I can without getting boring.  I like exercise.  I spend a large portion of every day practicing my favorite sport.  It would be difficult for me to ever kill an animal.  I like to write.
I come from a large family.  I have great parents.  I am second in the line-up of six children, and I love my family.  I have great friends.
  I’ve loved and I’ve lost.  Sometimes life hurts like I never could have imagined it would.
            So what does this all make me?  All of this and more makes me who I am.  If I seem entirely average and amateurish to you, then just you wait, because I have big plans.  I’m determined to be anything but average and everything that is unorthodox.  While I’m not sure what path I’m going to take to get to personal awesomeness, I assure you I am going to get there.
            This is my man blog.
