An idea that interests me 12/16/2017

I need to do shit before it’s too late!

So I will admit I’m a procrastinator. If it can be put off, it will be put off. I’m not proud of this, but I’m working on it. I’m just more of the relax and let the time go by kinda person. However, I see the flaw in this mindset. Not only am I letting chores and stuff like that go by, but also im letting a lot of opportunities of enjoying life go by. So I was thinking what can I do to help me set a list of goals that I want to accomplish? And the idea came to me. I’m going to make a bucket list. Now I think usually a bucket list is meant for someone who is trying to accomplish a bunch of stuff before they die, not that it matters I suppose, but instead I will call mine a “To do list”.

Not only will the list include goals that involve traveling and other fun activities, but also some more personal goals that I want to achieve such as fixing my procrastination. I thought of as much as I could, and I’m hoping that maybe some people could share some “to do list” ideas that they would like to accomplish, so I can see if I would like to also accomplish this goal. And they maybe we can share our experiences and other corny shit like that. So here is my list in no particular order.

My to do list

Celebrate New Years in time Square (and not get shanked)

Day 1.  12/12/17 my first blog

               Well here it is my first blog. I have so many ideas racing through my mind 24/7 so I figured it would be good to put them down. So here it goes…. After years of searching for what I want to do with my life I think I finally may have an answer. I’ve always enjoyed being creative. Whether that be through dancing, singing, photography, drawing, building, etc. I enjoy it all. However, I’ve never tried writing before… strange huh? All day I think about all kinds of stories and poems and music ideas but I never jot them down. Well I hope to fix that with this blog. And also maybe explore the idea of becoming a writer. Now obviously I’m not the best with writing I’ve probably made a bunch of mistakes already. But hey everyone starts somewhere.

               So let me talk about myself even further I’m a 21 year old boy with his head in the clouds. I feel as though I’m still very much a child (at heart).  I’ve never understood why people tell you to grow up. Why would you want to give up imagining different stories or thinking about impossible things? Thinking of the craziest most impossible things gets me through the day. Do know how many times a day I think about being a superhero? I think about what my costume would look like, what kind of powers I would have, and would I have a secret identity or not. This and so much more runs through my mind. And I’m tired of letting it slip away. An imagination is a terrible thing to waste.

               So I suppose more that this being just an experiment, it’s also a way to save myself. Save myself from growing up and forgetting how fun it is to just be creative. At this point I should probably continue talking about myself. My name is Jack. I am the youngest of my five siblings. My mother is Hispanic and my father is Irish and German. My hair is Red, brown, and blonde (Red stands out the most) Which I think is cool, however it gets annoying when people constantly ask me if I’ve seen Riverdale or straight up call me Archie -_- MY eyes are brown, I have freckles, I’m gay, and I suppose I’m a bit of an introvert.

               I have three sisters, one brother, a bunch of nieces and nephews around my age. Two amazing parents that I really don’t deserve. I can be a bit of a little asshole sometimes. I’m trying to work on that. I usually am the first one to apologize after a fight or argument. But when I’m angry I say stupid things that I immediately try to fix. I’ll try to have more patience. My sister Niki is almost exactly like me except better in every way. Seriously she is. She is beautiful, smart and funnier than me she’s amazing. My niece Ruby is one of the most amazing people in my life, she’s like a sister to me, she always makes me smile she’s beautiful and smart and so much better than me. I have a boyfriend named Austin that makes me feel incredible. I’ve never met anyone like him before. He’s also smart, beautiful, and better than me in every way. I love them so much and I honestly don’t deserve them.

               I suppose now that’s enough information about myself for now. I’m trying this thing that I learned in class where you just type the first thing that comes into your mind, that kind of explains why my writing is a little hectic. Well anyways I hope to use this blog as a new creative outlet also as I stated earlier an experiment of sorts to see if writing is for me and maybe even receive feedback from people. Who knows what could happen. I just know that I’ve been overthinking things for too long and now I just need to jump in and see what happens. I’m tired of waiting for the answer to presented to me. I have to find it for myself.
