Pick your metaphor. I've heard that life can be a marathon, a box of chocolates, I've even heard that life is a highway. Right now my life is like a really long book and pages are being written at a frantic pace. And somehow it feels like all of this couldn't be possible without this blog. Finding the DOC when I did, in the emotional and mental state I was in put me down a path of betterment that I would have never dreamed possible. From the mindless post that started on the first day of 2009 to the thousand word ramblings of an avid gamer, from seeing my friends in one of the happiest moments of their lives to being willing to chronicle some of my lowest moments for the reading pleasure of complete strangers - this blog has done so much for me. Who knew that my words would be found and appreciated enough to be featured on a gaming website that I love? Who knew that that opportunity would evolve into participating and hosting a video game podcast? Who would have ever thought that I would find the desire to start my own podcast? And through all of the people I've met and the opportunities I've been presented with there's still plenty more to my life story. It's time to start writing the next chapter. Starting Monday, May 24, 2010, I am an employee of the American Diabetes Association.
