The Beginning of the B Side

Recently (the last 2 hours) I have been thinking about changing the tone in which I blog. Most of the stuff I’ve written, with a few exceptions, has been disturbingly creative poking fun at myself. If you recall (which most likely you don’t) I wrote in my very first blog almost 4 years ago now (HOLY HELL!!! 4 YEARS?) to provide full disclosure and slander myself without hesitation. I feel for the most part I have lived up to my end of the deal. I have told countless embarrassing stories about myself, written about subjects the average person would never even think of; let alone put those thoughts for other’s to read, and I had fun doing it. I always got a lot of views on my blog but very rarely did people me comments, good or bad. In a way this pissed me off because I would view other blogs where somebody would write about their cat sneaking out of the house. That mindless rambling would generate 15-20 comments; I just could never wrap my brain around that. There would be no thought involved, no clever analogies, no building up of the story and no climax whatsoever. That’s not the only reason I want to shake things up but it is one of them.

I do want to point out that if I have another grand idea that totally jives with my personality believe I’ll write about it, but I really do want to diversify myself. For the past 3 ½ years I’ve shown I have a creative side with mostly guy humor (see yesterday’s blog) but now I’d like to try a different approach. I love sports so expect to see a few readings in that area. I, along with every other parent, feel that my children are perfect and everybody else’s child is a distant second, so Jadon and Hailey will be brought up often. Then as boring as everyday life is I think I’ll write about it too. I think most of you catch my drift; the topics will be wide open. I guess that the single best word to describe what this new page would be diversification; to broaden my audience if you will. I have written other pieces in which I feel worthy of appearing on “The B Side” so do not be the least bit surprised when that happens. That in a nutshell is my introduction and without any further rambling I’ll stop here and begin my next post.
