The "New" Project

SO, I had a sort of epiphany a few months ago. A small one, a semi-epiphany. It was a simple truth, a truth that seemed to lay a contagious batch of eggs in my brain. The eggs have started to hatch and now tiny infectious hatchlings are crawling around in my head, eating tissue and destroying cells. Not to worry, these are no sifi brain eating zombie eggs, oh no, they are a bit more practical. These eggs, are ideas. My epiphany (to segue back a bit) was this, "I, Kyle Garlock, am a turd". Its a bit harsh, but its the truth. Right before graduating high school my expectations were sky high, and for good reason. I had everything going for me, I was a soon-to-be-graduate, I was 18 years old, I had a great job and I was going to be a college student next fall. Things were looking good... I thought. For reasons I don't feel like typing at the moment, I was laid off of my job and I lasted a solid month or two at college. And now that I think of it, I'm not even 18 anymore. I've got nothing going for me now... right?

To bring you up to date: I am a 19 year old college drop out who washes dishes part time. I still live with my dad and I've been broke for way too long. Whew, feels good to get that off my chest. So, anyways, don't get the wrong idea. It's not like I'm the biggest failure and my life sucks or anything. I mean, at least I have a job, and at least I'm going to be back in school this spring it's just, I want to make sure that I do not end up a failure in the long run.

Which brings me to this, The "New" Project, a simple way (among many others) for me to make sure that my life doesn't turn out like crap. Its really simple. All i have to do is make sure that I have to preform or experience a new thing everyday. That new thing could range from skydiving to piercing my ear with a stapler. As long as its worth mentioning and I have never done it, its fair game in my book. I plan on working on this project for the next year. One new thing every day should hopefully account for 365 days of memorable new experiences. Its all about getting out there and seeing what the world has to offer. Lets do diss!
