'Bout Blair's Blog
Imagine a thought bubble escapes your mind.
And like all thought bubbles they will pop.
Unless...
....you remember that you have a bow and quiver slung around your shoulder.
In your quiver are arrow-like pencils.
Only in this way can you transform the thought bubble into something solid.
But you must be swift before it's too late.
You position a pencil on the bowstring, draw, aaaaannnnddd...
You miss.
If you had only devoted yourself to this strange form of archery, something special would have happened.
Your thought bubbles would have transformed into:
- steel anvils,
- slabs of meat,
- and immovable granite boulders.
Things you can build your life on.
Things you can stub your toes on.
Things you can get fat on.
Write or Wither
The truth is, I will disintegrate unless I write.
It gives me:
- focus, creativity, substance
- sharper thoughts, wiser words, more concise communication
- a lard of fun
I could use some more lard.
What about journaling?
Why not just keep it to my stick-figure self?
Yes, journaling has helped somewhat, but it doesn't solve one of my biggest problems:
Relationships
Journaling doesn't help me connect with you.
I hope publishing this blog will.
So, please subscribe and respond.
What does thin Blair write about?
Whatever I want.
It's my blog.

- Father of 3 daughters
- Owner of a dumb dog
- Armchair theologian
- Entrepreneurial wannabe
- Voluntarist
- Little "a" apologist
- Creator of silly kid's stories
- Listener of too many podcasts
- Non-fiction book junky

Anyways, time to start writing.
