Starting the conversation...

After comfortably sitting on the blog sidelines for awhile, I have decided to jump in the game and create my own blog (insert applause, cheers, gasp, puzzled look, or hysterical laughter here). I humbly think I may have a few things to share with the general public, and often people are either laughing with me or at me, so why not put my charming wit to good use. But the obvious first question was - what do I write about? I am not selling a product (yet...), I am not pushing a service (yet...) and while I hold my own opinion in high esteem I am not an authority figure on any subject (yet...). So the most simple and self-indulgent answer was to just write about whatever I am thinking. Well... that could be almost anything, in random order, and with no particular rhyme or reason. My mind races a mile a minute - movies, sports, music, politics, family, pop culture - I love it all, I question everything, and there is never a lull in the conversation going on in my head!

I got married last year and I have never been happier in my life! Previous sentence aside, I am not very lovey-dovey so don't expect a lot of gushing or personal details. But the shift from single to married life was a big one and it has changed me. I work in television production and special events. For those of you that share my beloved profession know it can be a constant attack on your sanity and lead you to emotional breakdowns and inspirational epiphanies - all in the same day. I've stood at Invesco Field and watched Barack Obama accept the Democratic nomination for President, I was ten feet away from Bruce Springsteen as he rocked the Super Bowl Halftime show, and I once had a very short and very strange conversation with Prince about flowers and love. But this will not be a celebrity dish session - make no mistake, I am the biggest star in this show! And for everyday that I am chasing down Alicia Keys to hand her a bottle of 'room temperature' water, there are more days when I am pushing the cart in Publix or cleaning out some foreign object that's grown in the back of my fridge. The good news is I find humor, insight, absurdity and inspiration in all of the days!

So that's it, my brief intro and disclaimer all in one. I will probably be finding my voice with this blog for a little while so it's too early to say where I'll be going. But please come along - the ride will definitely be an interesting one!
