So, as I stood at the front desk of my job staring at the computer screen, I decided I wanted to start a blog. I've attempted writing blogs in the past, but failed each time-- I bored myself I couldn't imagine anyone else reading it. Overjoyed that I had just come up with a genius idea, I turned to a co-worker sharing with him that I was going to start a blog. When he asked me what I was going to write about, my excitement turned into frustration. I realized my life consisted of work, school, and hanging out with my friends and family-- nothing to exciting happening. I left work that night still confused as to what I was going to write about, but as I was driving home I passed a guy pushing his bicycle down the sidewalk. My first thought was "Why is he pushing his bicycle?" but my second thought was an idea. If I put two of my favorite things together, meeting new people and writing, I could write a blog about meeting new people. I don't know one person who doesn't enjoy making a story for someone that they see. When I'm driving down the road and I see the guy pushing his bicycle, I wonder why he's pushing his bicycle. So, I make up a story for him in my head. But what if I didn't have to make up the story. What if I could go to him and ask him, learn his story, and share with other people. I'm not saying that it's guaranteed to be exciting, because maybe his legs just got tired and he wanted to walk, and that's it, but at least I can say I know why.
Each week, I will randomly pick someone I feel I want to know about and talk to them, at least try. I'm sure some will refuse to talk to me, and I'm sure I'll talk to people and find them completely and utterly boring, but I will try my best to not bore myself nor anyone else.
**Also I hope you have your speakers on because awesome music is playing**
Thank you!
