The Revival

Guess who's back...back again?  Yes, Eminem is back with a new album (with some pretty sick Beastie Boys samples in one song) but this post isn't about Slim Shady's long awaited comeback.  It's about yours truly.  The original thought behind this blog, as many of you already know, was to make my last year as a twenty-something completely memorable and life changing.  I failed.  I mean, not entirely.  I had a great year as a 29 year old but that ship has sailed and I'm now 31...still trying to figure out what I want out of life and how I will get there.  At the advice (and encouragement) of some pretty stellar friends (a couple of which helped me create the name of this little blog a few years ago), I decided to bring this thing back.  No, it won't be about attempting to do 365 new things, each of which would occur on a different day.  It's about taking life by the horns and making the most of it.  Whether that be with house projects, my relationships, life lessons, or even the latest sample of bbq I've fallen in love with. It's just simply about MY today.  I won't post daily, heck I may not even post weekly.  But, I'll post and when I do, it'll be something I'm passionate about.  Maybe you won't find the passion in what I've done, but in some way or another, I hope it encourages you to really embrace the life you have and do what makes YOU happy. 

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”       - Mark Twain
