...but hopefully not the last. I thought I would give this forum a shot, but not because I have anything interesting to say. I thought I would start this because I need somewhere to practice writing, and the idea of making the personal public (or semi-public) is sort of appealing.
Why do I need to practice writing? Because I am a former English Honours student, who has not used his degree in the six years since he has obtained it. I've been working with concrete, furniture, and truckers since I graduated. These are not fields conducive to thought, let alone anything inspired. The truckers and the concrete have more in common than one might guess, but I think I will leave that for another entry.
I'm Canadian. Please don't hold that against me. I'm young, but old enough that I am not going to tell you how old I am. So there. I own a car, and a house. What does that mean?
Between the student loans, the mortgage, and the car loan, I am broke. Maxed out. Tapped. Mortgaged to the hilt. Considering passing around a collection plate. Does that sound sad? Did I inspire you to send me cash? I thought not. :)
I try to be a wit, but often fail. Why? I think I try too hard. That, and I have a very slight stutter. So, often when delivering the punch line, I screw it up.
I try to be a good person, but often fail. I would think that we all do, but I really think that I might have a worse track record than most. I think I'll get into those issues in future blogs though. Why outright ruin your opinion of me now, when I can slowly do it over time?
Schaughn.

In all the years that I have known you, I have not noticed that you stutter or screw up punchlines anymore than I or the next does. Stop overanalyzing yourself already, you know we all love you :)
