First off, I just wanted to thank you for stopping by to indulge into my random thoughts that I have decided to pen. I’m not entirely sure why I wanted to start a blog, because I wouldn’t consider myself a “good” writer, however I do enjoy it. I have attempted to write a few books from a few Ideas that came to mind, but I never kept up with it to the end. So maybe this is my attempt at trying to become a better writer? Or, rather, I just feel the need to express myself in a realm without judgment. Somewhere to vent, and be myself.
My name is Mitchell, as you have probably figured from my clever title. I have many ambiguous ambitions in life. I say that due to the fact that a lot of the “things”, for lack of a better word, that I want to do are unclear to me whether I want to give it my full attention, or if I would focus on something else. For example, my aspirations of becoming a pro-gamer. I would love to get paid to play the games that I love, whether casually or competitively. However, this takes hours of dedication and time to get to that level. I would happily dedicate the time to do so, but I have to be reasonable. So, perhaps, “ambiguous” was the wrong word here. Tantalus… Yes, Tantalus describes this quite nicely.
I do want to make something of myself, that is definitive. My plan, the one that is most logical, is to go back to college and get my degree in Engineering. This is the field that I work in already; I am a CAD Designer. As much as I would enjoy being an Engineer, I don’t feel like it is my “dream career”. Of course one of my “dream careers” I mentioned earlier. Another Ideal career that I have put much thought into, and would enjoy immensely, is becoming a writer. I have had many adventures within my thoughts that I find would make a great story. However, I can never seem to get around to actually writing them down. So maybe I’ll use this blog to “publish” some of my short stories, or even parts of a novel. I don’t know yet.
My Ideal life as a published author, would be living on the coast, or at least near it, in Oregon. I can see myself walking the coast line just to enjoy the day and get some inspiration. Going to the local coffee shop and working on the next novel, or whatever I happen to be working on. That would be an amazing life for me that I would tremendously enjoy, but then I get realistic. You never know, maybe one day I will be a well known writer.
That is just a little about myself. I have no particular “theme” for my blog, just the accumulation of my thoughts will have to do for now. Hopefully something will come of this, whether I become better at writing, or I will finally be able to piece together a Novel. Only time will tell.
Thanks, again, for stopping by and making it this far. I will be posting something new fairly soon, so feel free to follow me and see where this takes us.
