The life of a blog

It only took three minutes to create and that is the reason that I now have my own personal blog. I wanted my name to appear in a post on a friend's site instead of anonymous.

Well then. I've titled this site "No Responsibility" (I think) because most people spend life trying to prove that all they do is actually not their fault. The end of all this is that they are not accountable for their life. But think about it? Lawyers, blaming, complaining - the fault lies somewhere else, doesn't it? The line is taking forever because there are so many people in it. I would have been on time to person X's house if they had been ready to leave at person Y's house to get to person X's house. My life would not suck if I had married this person instead of this person. Or maybe you have problems with a team that you are on.

Well, the old cliché goes something like - you can't change others, only yourself. Great! What does that mean? PMA? Is that all that's needed?

So anyway, this Blog will be dedicated to the quest of "What is my role in this story of life?"

Good luck - Joel

  1. Joel! Isn't this so exciting? Now you have a blog and because of this crucial move in your life, everything will be wonderful. Trust me...I've experienced it...blogging changes your life in many, many, many positive ways. Okay, maybe not, but it is an amazing way to stay in touch and have fun at the same time!

    Enough with the cheese.

    I'm wondering: is the comment, "Or maybe you have problems with a team that you are on..." personally relevant to you? I'm sensing some underlying truth in it...maybe from some experience this summer? Maybe I'm totally off...I just can't imagine that ever happening last summer...which means Argentina 2003 was the best! Woo-hoo!

    Can't wait to read more from you :)
