The Art of Blog Articulation; Thought Provoking Dialogue

Over thinking things is my forte. It doesn't matter what the concern at hand is either. I have an overwhelming mental juggle of "am I getting the best deal for my ___." In the blank, fill in words like time, money, caffeine intake, food consumption, sleep hours, tweets, etc. The humorous part is, due to my indecision or waste of time thinking about it, I do exactly that; waste time. I've been battling this and reconsidering why I think like I do, but really, I'm just doing the same thing. This neither a rant, nor is it going to develop in to one; however, I AM trying to thrust your brain in to 3rd gear. I want to share with you a post that really hit home. It made me think....IN A PRODUCTIVE WAY. Sorry for the caps, just defending myself.

I saw something about it in a tweet from Chuck @charlesriccardi, but decided I would wait until I went through recent friend blog post. Then, BOOM, it was commented on my friend, Johnny @jschrep. He posted a lot of good stuff, and seeing as he's practically my digital mentor, I HAD to expedite my reading Chuck's post.

Please check out this post. I promise its good stuff, especially for anyone like us 3, mid-20s and pondering Life.

I am pleased to introduce, Chuck: http://stuckwithchuck.tumblr.com/post/1310174153/23-married

Welcome to a New Approach

Not many people, at least my age, look at something and find multiple uses for it, or come up with something completely new to solve a common problem. What else can you do with an empty plastic juice jug, those left over chip crumbs, or (my favorite) a Frisbee? How can you solve little inconveniences in your daily life with new, creative, and CHEAP solutions? Take my examples. A plastic juice jug makes an excellent large reusable water bottle for a long day of driving or school or practice. The left over chip crumbs make excellent additions to sandwiches or other snacks. Now, here is my current favorite: the plastic Frisbee. This probably won't work well with disc golf drivers or mid-ranges discs, but how about turning that bad boy upside down and using it as a plate. What better thing to put snacks and quick meals-to-go on that a flat surface with a raised ridge that protects your car or couch from stray crumbs?

This blog is open to any ideas, suggestions, criticism, and all other thought on the topics. Feel free to take as many and as wild tangents as you wish. Its simply and normally a blog, right?
