I Used to Have a Blog

About two years ago I kind of quit writing (well, blogging at least, I'm not really sure you ever quit writing).

My son was starting to walk, I was about to change jobs, I was moving 400 miles away, it just seemed like a logical time to stop writing. Add on top of that having no time and it was pretty easy to walk away.

Since that time, some things changed.

Well, everything really.

My job changed; my priorities changed; the way I look at the world changed roughly every other day.  I found things, then I lost them, and then, a few times, I found them again, but they weren't the same.

I want to start trying this out again and I guess this is the place where I'm going to do that.

I'm not really wearing a suit, that would kind of be weird. Actually I was watching TV and Leonardo Di Caprio was on there in this suit that probably costs more than my rent, so that's where the name comes from. Maybe some time I'll wear a suit while I blog so I'm not a  total poser (fyi, the word poser sucks, I just couldn't think of a better one, phony maybe?)

Pertinent things to know about me: I have two sons (they're better than your kids probably, yeah I'm that dad), I'm a teacher (writing, are you surprised?), sometimes I coach (football), I'm allergic to fresh fruits and vegetables (no, seriously, why are you laughing....jerk), I believe in God (and I'm thankful for the work he's done in my life, even when it sucks) and I'm going through a divorce...

What I'll probably write about: Stuff I think is funny, stories of my life, things I've read and have an opinion on or feel like you should have an opinion on too, movies, TV, music, food, conversations I have with people, more funny stuff, sports (maybe?), depression and mental health (I've wrestled with this in my life and we should talk about it more as a society), and mostly whatever else I want to write about or yell about. I yell a lot.

This is a space I want to enjoy. Maybe you will too; that would be cool.

I just need a place for my mind to stay for a while every once in a while.
