I decided to start this blog to keep a record of my life.  Something that I can look back at and learn from, both for myself and others.  I plan on keeping it raw, real, and tell nothing but the truth.  Why now?  Well, it's been one week since I last got high from synthetic marijuana.  I had been on a three week bender that cost me my painting job, my grades at school, and all my money.  I'm currently about 3 grand in debt and realize it's time to start living a more disciplined life.  I still plan on smoking weed, because that is something that helps me be more social, and I need to work on that. Weed has never been a problem in my life.  Ive moved pounds of shwag when I was in high school and even having ounces hidden under my bed, I never felt the urge to smoke it all the time like I have with this synthetic stuff.  Apparently I'm not the only one since there were days where I had to wait for Atomic Glass to open up in the morning and there were lines of people out the door trying to get their fix on this stuff.  I can't believe this stuff is legal but weed, a non-addictive substance in my opinion, gets you arrested.  The same goes for alcohol.  I love drinking with friends, but they and I know I have no self control when it comes to this stuff.  I plan on switching to just beer as I don't seem to black out on that.  When it comes to hard liquor, I get shit-faced everytime and end up blacking out, making a fool out of myself.  So in conclusion of this first post, I'm writing this keep a record, track my progress, and hopefully inspire others to do the same.  Because that is what I really want to do, inspire people and make this world united.  Not through government, but through eachother.  I hope to post something everyday, everything from pictures of myself to videos I find inspiring or funny or whatever.  Just posting things that I think about, good, bad, and ugly.
