"I ain't freakin, I ain't fakin this"


Inspiration comes in all shapes, sizes, smells, and styles. It might come in a dream or from a song. It could come from watching the news, or from the lid of your apple juice bottle. Today, for me, inspriation comes from a dear friend. It's thanks to this friend that I set up this blog. Thank you, Paul McHardy.
But enough about him, I'm here to blog ;)
I finished reading an auto-biography about a wrestler today. It was a decent read. To be honest I wasn't expecting any great work of prose or profound statements on the meaning of life, but I was surprised at some of the things I learned. I'm not going to go into detail about those things because that's not what I want to write about today.

Upon reading this book I came to an interesting realization. The author was a high school drop-out. His grammar was often times incorrect, and I imagine if the book hadn't gone through an editor there would have been many a spelling error. Yet here was this book in my hands for the world to read. Why? Because it was about someone famous. Someone important in the "Sports Entertainment Industry." The world wants to know about this person.
Who wants to know about me?
If I were to write an auto-biography who would pick it up?
I like to think that I've lived a pretty interesting life. I have been through some experiences that I think people would like to hear about. Would my life be interesting enough to merit publication? I say if Dave Batista can write about himself for all to read then so can Valerie Mizer.
So with these thoughts I got online. I read my friend Paul's blog...about sports, about getting old, about voting. In his own way, Paul was writing a biography of his life. The even more stunning thing; people read it!

To make a long story short, this is my life as it is. I'm going to write. I don't care who reads, but here it is. I hope you enjoy :)

If reality tv has taught us nothing (which is quite possible) it is that celebrities can be very boring and average joes can be very entertaining. Maybe you'll become the next Joe the Plumber.
