My Blog Title was Taken

I've been putting off writing a blog for some time now. For a while I didn't think I had anything important to say. Other times I told myself I had more important things to do. But now I have a subject and a purpose for my blog. I intend to document my journey, my thoughts, feelings and (hopeful) success through a personal financial restructuring (the polite, corporate way of saying "I think I'm going to be filing bankruptcy.")

This blog will attempt to flush out how I got to this point in my life, what mistakes I've made, as well as the experience of correcting my situation and the lessons I will learn.

They say it takes 7 years to get a bankruptcy off of your credit report; and while I haven't yet decided that in-fact bankruptcy will be my vehicle through financial restructuring, it appears today that the dreaded "last resort" has arrived. So I was cleverly going to call my blog "7 years" (brilliantly simple, yes thank you). But some ass hole named Scott took the clever name of my blog in May of 2002 and hasn't done shit with it. The ironic twist of fate that my chosen blog name, "7 years" was taken from me 7-years ago (ACTUALLY, 7-years ago one day after my birthday!) is not lost on me and I will no-doubt have something to say about that in a future entry.

So for now, my blog is called "33 going on 40" because I, today, am 33 and if left to bankruptcy as my only option, I will be 40-years-old once it falls off my credit report. It's not nearly as catchy of a title but the way things have been going for me lately, I should have expected this social experiment to not start off the way I had planned.

About Me

This ain't no Blog-Shit

I know a lot of blogs out there center around a person's interests or hobbies and they are usually full of photos and links and commentary or opinion. This is not that kind of blog.

This is more like a diary - a journal of the lessons I learn and the mistakes and progress I make. I am actually more honest in this thing than I am to most of my friends and certainly more so than to my family! This level of candor is an attempt to keep me honest and accountable. I do my very best to write what I think, no matter how personal, and refrain from editing (hence the spelling and grammar issues).

Anyone who comes across this blog is welcome to learn about me though it - and comment if you like. I know some people are learning some rather detailed shit about me. But I am putting it out there for others to learn by or be inspired. And I put it out there so that The Universe may hear my honesty and send back to me good lessons and good fortune.
