Phew, that was fast

Well, here I am. A year later after starting the diddie and I have to ask, what have I learned?

I've learned that going back over your writing and pictures a year later is a bit harder on the ego than I thought. In fact, I just spent the last hour rewriting, editing and deleting some posts. Man, I kind of suck. Embarrassing.

I've learned that I'm not the same person I was when I began the diddies. Which I'm very happy about. A year ago I wasn't where I wanted to be in my career and life. Today I am. What a difference a year makes. And now I'm embarrassed again. What the hell? I'm not trying to toot any horns but let's just say, things are super neat, not that they weren't a year ago but now they're just superer and neater.

I've learned that wanting to write and actually writing are two very different things. I spend a lot of time in my head writing stories, diddies and jokes before ever attempting to post. Part of the problem is my self-edit button won't allow me to share it all. Okay, it's not that. I like self-deprecating humor it's just that I don't want to embarrass my parents more than I already have (sorry about that poop story), at least not until I get a pseudonym.

I've learned that it helps me to keep my past fresh and my present in check.

And I've learned that I'm not as funny as I thought.

Back in college, a group of us (guys and girls) did the same thing and went rope swinging on a nearby river outside of town around dusk. We took two cars and parked where no one else was around. After about an hour or so, we headed back to the cars and my friend's car's tires were all slashed. SO GLAD that I didn't offer to drive mine. Fortunately, the other car went unscathed. They drove back to our college town and came back with another car. He got it towed the next day and we pitched in for new tires after that.

Fucking rednecks.
