Got a Dream?

Alrighty... Well, here we are. Just chilling like a villain on the spot of blogs. Yup. And this is where I shall write something interesting that you would want to read about... 

Topic: writing. Yes. I said it. Never thought that it would come to this, but this blog is my first step to becoming a writer. Who'd have thunk? I'm not much of a writer. (if you can call what I do writing) But I'm aspiring to be a writer that someone would actually want to read. Why would anyone want to read this? I'm not sure... Because you're probably thinking "Well this is lame."

Okay... Let me try to fit you in my shoes. Have you ever wanted to do something? Suppose playing football, be able to paint, or learn a musical instrument? Or needed to do something in order to do something else? Like having good grades to stay on a sports team, being able to sing before you start having concerts, or growing facial hair before you can pick up a girl? (I'm not sure if the whole beard thing is true, but it seems to work in the movies) Well.... That's my predicament. Not the facial hair, but the fact that I need to be a writer so I can express myself without this beautiful voice that I may or may not love to use too often... (somewhat conceited moment... my bad!) I can always come up with creative ideas that I would like to share! Yet, when I try to convey those thoughts with a pen or a keyboard, it sucks.

BUT, onthebrightside, I think that my only problem is actually my thinking. Thinking. Thinking too hard about it; trying to force it into making sense. Could it be? That if I just randomly put my thoughts on a piece of paper or say, a blog, that I can actually write something that's worth editing and reading? I doubt it... but at least it's a form of writing that at least I can understand! This sounds like an idea.

(embarrassing fact: I love this movie...)

I've got a dream! I've got a dream! Yes, way down deep inside I've got a dream!  

Wow.... I might regret putting that on here... But hey, I'll leave it on just because I can.... I'm not ashamed... "I've got a dream." What a novel concept here! Consider the movie Tangled for a second. Mainly focus on following dreams. Don't we all have dreams? Even the nasty, ugly, brutal ones of us. We all aspire to be something that we aren't currently. And in Tangled, after the princess Rapunzel has her dreams come true, the movie ends. Happily ever after. Bla bla bla... (doesn't every fairy tale end that way?) But in real life, our stories don't end. So when we achieve goals, we acquire new ones! And then we work on those dreams until we reach them and so on and so forth... 

Personally, I've got a dream to become a better writer. That's not my only dream, but it's an achievable one for right now... And once I become a better writer, I can move on to another dream and say "Thank goodness I started that blog!" So with that in mind, I shall venture out into this new world of blogging... Seeking the adventures that await me, and (hopefully) finding something interesting to write about...
