WELCOME !!

Hi and welcome to my brand new blog. I spent my work day today thinking about this new blog..... I couldn't wait to get home this evening and set up the account! It was so hard to focus at work that I simply gave up around 10am (hey, those first 2 hours trying to wait were pure hell!) and wrote my first blog right there in the office. I know, I know..... it's cheating to write the entry before you even set up the account. Tough shit. I wrote it earlier today and I'm not going to re-do it. If God didn't intend for things like this to happen, he wouldn't have let us create the cut-n-paste feature of EVERY word processing program known to man.
So, without further ramblings........

My very first blog:


Friday morning. Another crappy week at work. The crappiest so far, actually. In these troubled times, the wise must ask themselves....."What am I doing with my days work? Are my hours productive and giving enough back to my fellow man and to the community as a whole? Am I using all of the gifts the good Lord gave me? Am I made for more?" 

Then there are the unwise.....like me. The slightly lazy and lesser motivated among us whose questions are more along the lines of "Why can't I just do whatever I want all day and get paid really well for it?"

And why shouldn't I wish for what I really want?  Why not dream big? When all I want in life is to find a generous benefactor who cannot travel due to some unfortunate medical condition, so he/she just pays me to travel the world for them, taking lots of pictures and coming back with a beautifully written travel documentary that makes them 'feel like they were right there!'  Sounds completely noble to me. Is it really too much to ask?
Dammit, wait a little longer until you say "yes" next time. Let a girl wish......

Well, until such time as my dreams become a reality, or my dreams get a reality-check (whichever comes first.....hard to tell at this point), I thought starting a blog might be a better way to escape the reality of my boringasshitcorporateamerica job.  I thought first about getting a twitter account. But all of my friends laughed at the suggestion. The idea of me attempting to communicate in 140 characters or less is, evidently, quite comical to those who know me. If you are new to JenMan, you will, no doubt, come to the same laughable conclusion soon enough. You will also all very quickly realize that I am quite new to blogging. I am likely to break rules, screw up the text editing, fail to make the site look 'jazzy!' enought to keep your attention for long, or to make many more of a multitude of possible dumbshit mistakes. Laugh at me. Help me. Forgive me. Whatever makes you happy.

But if you like the site, even just a little, then tell your friends. For like so many who have grown up on the internet, my frail little sense of self-worth stems from the acceptance of my peers as evidenced by the numbers of followers I have. No, that's bullshit. Actually the ex-accountant in me (don't judge....that's a story for another day) just really likes counting up to BIG numbers. So...sign up! Create fake email accounts and sign up some more. Tell your friends..... your family......your neighbors.......even your enemies. Tell everyone about my blog. Just please don't tell my boss.  Because after all........

I SHOULD BE WORKING RIGHT NOW!
