Faces of Drew Trial blog 1.0

So begins my journey, er, journal.

WARNING! Adult content MAY be encountered here. If you're not fine with that, fuck off & go away.

Otherwise, WELCOME!

My hope is that this will be the first step of many. It is just one of my goals. Another one of my goals is to identify the rest of my goals, so that I can then figure just what I have to do in order to attain them.

Notice how I used the word 'attain' and not 'achieve'? That's because I'd rather own my objective than have it awarded to me like a prize. Owning it makes it feel more like a part of me, whereas achieving something makes it seem like I chased a carrot on a stick and somehow, arbitrarily by fate or, or the generosity or error of the farmer driving the cart, did I somehow nab it in my teeth.

But back to my point. Starting this blog is intended to trigger a number of effects:
1. Get me writing every day, or at least regularly.
2. Help me find my voice, whatever the hell that is.
3. Express myself to the universe, whether to rail against the ills of society, or share my unique perspective, allow me to flex my use of language, make up funny silly nonsense, or even take an emotional dump.
4. Strengthen my relationships, and develop new ones...and possibly terminate bad ones. Whether you know me well or not, you will definitely get to know me better here, but some of it you may not like. I intend to be brutally honest here.
5. Establish an audience. Someday very soon, I'm going to be calling upon every contact in my social network to do the same, and join me on something that is as yet undefined. But when I do, I want to have a large and empowered group of voices with me.
6. Well, I don't know what 6 is right now because I'm writing this free-form; this is my 1st rough draft, so it's not all mapped out yet. Plus, I need to keep these blogs short enough that you'll read the whole thing and keep coming back.

So, I'll wrap this up by saying: Thank you for reading my first entry, and I hope you look forward to more. If you like it here, let others know. If not, forget the whole thing and don't tell anyone.
