Don't Seperate Soul & Pride

An introduction of sorts to the world of blogging. It is now October 15th, 2010. The day my mother turns 45. It is not irrelevant to my introduction to bring up the subject of the date of my mom's birth and here's why: She was the one who encouraged me to start blogging. I have done blogging to an extent in the past, but exclusive to the entertaining sport of professional wrestling. Blogging about such people as Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Chris Benoit, Matt & Jeff Hardy, The New World Order, as well as others. Discussing my hobbies to the public is not considerably a common thing to do. Lots of people do it, however, those who don't do it take pride in their privacy. It might as well be an opinion or an understatement to what I said, but try to see it from my perspective: A person who chooses a life exclusive to their own eyes could quite possibly be considered close-minded.  When stating that generally conceived as a fact, I've talked to my friends over the course of the year and I've noticed from their perspective that they are very seclusive when it comes to things like expressing my thoughts. Just because I'm trying to make a persuasive argument doesn't mean I'm the type of person to talk about everything going on in my life.

I might have sounded like a hypocrite just now if some of those "seclusive" people are reading this blog. Well, rest assured it was not my full intention make this a debate of hypocrisy. If I was being hypocritical, I wouldn't have the guts to admit it. Maybe to an extent saying people are close-minded is hypocritical, but the point I'm trying to make is no one is perfect. I don't expect everyone to open up. There are people in this world that are very self-conscious about their lives and to be honest, so am I, which is why I'm writing blogs, to over come that trait.

Another reason why I'm writing blogs is it could improve my skills as a writing, because I don't have very considerable grades for English. I failed the lowest ranked classes in my Junior College twice despite my high intellect and knowledge of those teachings. My theory of why it came to it is it was so unchallengeable, that in the subconscious state of mind, I did not wish to pursue easy tasks that would make me feel self-conscious as well. Why do we need to feel such feelings? After watching the movie, Kick-Ass, the title character chose the life of a Vigilante just because he did not to be one of the those self-conscious people and do something without taking action. He did take action and he is one of my major influences in life, albeit I have little if no intention on becoming a super-hero or vigilante.

Like most people, I have a strong desire to become successful, but right now, the circumstances I am in currently puts me under the impression that I am no where near that point to have success. I would love to be a professional writer, but right now, the Internet holds the significance I need right now to be such a thing. The one thing that might be missing right now is that I'm always asking people for an opinion on what I should do to catch up to my goals. I'm not saying that's a bad thing to ask for help, but making it a force of habit could take the independence out of your soul.


As my schedule becomes constantly hectic by the minute, I want to take that minute by the horns and show some initiative into what I'm doing as a young adult, I question where all the 20 year old's position in the world is right now. What I mean is "Who are they?", "What are they doing?", "Where are they going?" , "Why are they going there?" These question are to put every 20 year old's perspective on their lives. In a month I will be 21. What will happen there? The only answer I can think of is to make an effort to focus my mind on the here and the now. It's frustrating to fear where you'll end up. Just my advice out there to any that's 20 going on 21: "Don't be afraid."

  1. Wow Jon thats pretty deep. I don't think I even have the capability to tap into myself to that degree. Maybe someday when I have more time to analyze myself. Very well written. Jacques
