Getting Started

Well, my first blog is underway. Feels good, feels right. I have been looking for an outlet to cathartically release my thoughts and feelings towards life--good and bad. This will be the perfect way of having a resource for such an action.

Now my friends if you read this boring crap, thats on you. Maybe this will be a great way for you to get to know, and peer into some personal areas of my life. I will do my best to shine lots of light in those dark corners that I tend to keep shaded out of privacy and pride.

"The Warrant and The Sanction" words from Ayn Rand's book Atlas Shrugged. This blog carries such a title, because its about me having autonomy over my thoughts and feelings, its about me feeling warranted to, in some words, wrangle down my own triumphs and vagaries in life.

 I am currently unemployed, I resigned my position at Hamilton Southeastern High School, I simply started losing my grip, it was clear to me that this job was not my calling, and well the time had come to sweep me out of there. Though they would have never fired me, I knew for myself it was my day to step down.

Now I am clawing at newspapers, websites, and job ads, looking for that next step and trying to be purposeful. I am an Artist, with a B.S. in Fine Arts(Painting). This is my life and my joy. Its like breathing to paint. I wish I could do it full time, and my goal is to someday be able to do that for myself. I am learning the lesson of not being able to cut corners. I am a person addicted to progress, and so moments in life like the present, where my progress seems almost catatonic, I can find myself squirming. Doing my best to not waste time, while still allowing solitude and patience to amplify themselves in me. Chaos points us to Clarity. This is what I will paint.


Be Well.
