Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing this? A question I have often asked myself, and one that I hope is a common question to many a soul and not just me having absolutely no clue what is going on with my life while everyone else is jamming it out on cruise control, worry free (I have also never used cruise control. I don't trust it.).

Maybe I find it utterly fascinating to see my own thoughts written out in front of me instead of getting tangled and forgotten inside my fairly functional brain. No, wait, I have a great brain. I got A's in school. You know what that means...and tell me when you figure it out because as far as I can tell being smart guarantees nothing.
Like really, is there any skill or asset one can acquire that would equip them for what happens when they stub their toe, lose their keys, or break their heart? I feel like that is why I am doing this. To laugh at myself and everyone else who thinks they can predict the world, or even last a day without something going "wrong". Instead of viewing my days as steps toward whatever greater goal I deem will bring me happiness, I've decided to live in vacation mode. Because when people are on vacation, they still get the stuff done that is required for them to live, but on the whole they feel more relaxed and content. Or at least that's the idea.

I have no set agenda for this blog or for my life. I love writing and find humor in most situations. My outlook is exemplified by this quote on friendship that my friend will never let me forget (yes, I self-quote): "I love friends and I love ships so this will be great!" Yes, I think it will.
