First Blog Day

I'm a slacker. And I'm not your conventional do-it-at-the-very-last-minute and do-a-half-ass-job kind of slacker. I'm the kind that relishes in my procrastination, only regretting it for about 10 minutes before I slip into the zone. I can spend 5 days or 5 hours working on the same paper and end up with relatively comparable results. Generally, people who see me on a regular basis aren't aware when I have an exam or a paper due the next day because 1) I don't tell them and 2) I never appear to be too concerned about it.

Now, don't get me wrong. Just because I don't look it, doesn't mean that I'm not feeling it. Unfortunately for those who've lived with me, caught me on a busy Sunday morning, or called me while I'm working through my lunch break...they know atleast not to bother me. I get angry. And I'm probably not really angry at you, I'm just really locked in and can't be bothered by you.

So, here I am. about 9 oclock on a Tuesday evening and I just finished two back-to-back nights of essay writing and am looking forward to another late night...and I decided to start a blog.

To be honest, this is my fifth attempt at starting a blog. I started a video blog on youtube in the summer but that lasted all of 3 minutes before I shut it down because I ran out of things to say. The irony is that I don't really have anything to report...so most of my more keener readers wil have already figured that this is a manifestation of my procrastination. manifestation of my procrastination. But truly, I'm a huge blog reader (of blogs belonging to friends, pastors, artists, politicians, etc.) so I thought I would make my debut with absolutely nothing to contribute hahaha. Regardless, I wish you all (all three of you) to know that there's a lot to look forward to - including recaps of significant events in my ridiculous life, latest discoveries, words of encouragment, and irrational rantings. I can't guarantee that I will entertain or enlighten, but I sure will give it my 45% mediocre effort. Mind you, it's not because I'm lazy (I love writing!) - I'm just keepin it real.




This would be Ray keepin it real in Otown.
