Be A Hero

So let's begin.

Heroics 101

We begin today's first official, non silly, non "douchey" post. I apologize for what may have been a not so original entry about douche-bags.

The blog is meant for an easy way to get my thoughts out to the public without having me tell you what I'm thinking or how i'm feeling on facebook. We all know how annoying I get on facebook. With that being said, it is not a place for me to whine about my ex girlfriend or school. I want to use this site to reach out and give people a different perspective on things. (of course my experiences) Whether it is about love, life, school or family related issues. I could be dead wrong on things I write about but that's what the whole experience is. Even I could learn a few things from you.


I'm not the best writer, actually I deem myself to be pretty bad...but I will try with the best of my abilities to provide entertaining posts with something to be learned.

On a sidenote, I will still provide silly posts just for the hell of it. If I can't quite accomplish improving someone's quality of life (even for just 5 minutes it takes to read my posts) you'll be sure I'll make up for it with something stupid, which will hopefully produce a smile.

Halfway Hero and I enjoying life.

Today i was greeted by a friend online on how my comedic post about "Build a Douche" was unoriginal and downright stupid. It was followed with an explanation of how I was just another "one of those" without any substance. Being me, I got defensive and showed him my older blogging site (you can have the link by request), which proved to show him that the material was my type of style and was no way emulated. My friend agrees, and I smile feeling happy that I successfully defended myself. I still felt a little hurt and resentful towards him, and questioned why he would be attacking me so. "He had no right, it's MY blog"

it's my goddamn blog!

It was when I asked him if he would also like to join 'the lineup', I realized that he wasn't trying to purposely put me down. Sure, it did bother him that my joke material is 99% of what the blogging community writes about too, but once I cooled down, I was learning.

He replied with my offer with "I'll think about it" but what held him back was my backwards and useless humor which was only considered as a cheap laugh. Even now, I don't think he even squeeked a smile. I quickly withdrew my anger when I heard this, because I knew right at that moment "Build a Douche" was a bad first impression for anyone reading this fresh website.

Most importantly, I learned that my buddy was only doing what was right. You can't really ask for much from friends before they get annoyed/frustrated for clear cut honest advice. But he was right and I was wrong, and he let me know without flowering it up. I think we all should in some way be more forward about something if we care enough about it/him/her.

I have friends who've pissed away a large part of their life and I never once told them what they were doing wrong, or at least told them without giving them the false kind of hope that would justify their decisions...And today that's all changed.

Sometimes we have to risk attacking one's ego to help.
