My First Real Blog is Born! Isn't she cute?

SO... here's the thing, an uncle I will call Uncle X told me last night that I should write me a blog. I'm going to take that advice right now and he promised to read it and comment but not tell people we are related so he'd better make good on that promise or else! I will go ahead and tell you I'm a carpenter, not a writer and although I took five years of French class and the normal amount of English required at Chariho High in little bitty Rhode Island... grammar and spelling are not my strongest subjects in any language. It has also been eleven years since my last high school course so all that is gone now anyhow. Punctuation will be misplaced and sentences will be run-on so any advice and guidance to make this fun to read is welcomed... that is assuming anyone will even read this at all... besides Uncle X, of course.

The advice was to write a blog to discuss my passions in life because my real life does not involve any of the afore mentioned passions. I am a huge fan of the Arts and I know that it is a broad term so I will be more specific. I live for music, film, theater and photography. These things I have not pursued sadly just because life happens ready or not and I decided to try to be prepared so I work as normal people must do to get by. So this blog will maybe help me to find other people with similar passions so we can share opinions and I can learn more about my favorite Arts and maybe a few more I can appreciate.

Here is a little bit about me, my back story if you will. I am a 29 year old woman from Rhode Island. As I said, I am a carpenter for about 7 years now. This is a job I love doing and I find satisfying so don't think I want anyone to feel sorry for me. I am aware that almost every child when asked what they want to be when they grow up the answer will almost always be a singer or a star in some capacity and at my age that is not nearly as cute so I don't verbalize these dreams. I do know that given the opportunity to drop it all for a shot to do something in television or film with minimal risk, I wouldn't think twice. Alas, I am 29 and not beautiful and lack talent so it isn't likely that Hollywood will come to call on me. I have worked in a few different jobs including restaurants, in a tank truck with a family business and in a movie theater. That job is the closest to a film career I have gotten unless you want to count my day to day antics. One of my favorite things is to people watch and say and do things to get a reaction out of others so I guess I try to bring some of the aspects of tv and film to my life. Timing and delivery are everything, after all.

I guess that's the beginning of my story for you. I hope it gets better as I learn about this blog thing. If you are reading this, I thank you and try to stick with me as I get deeper and improve. I promise to bring my sense of humor to every meeting! Keep on singing in the car and always remember music is better when it is played LOUD!
