This Is Your Life and It Is Ending One Minute At A Time

I just finished reading fight club the other day.
Before it was a movie it was a book... In case you didn't know that. A funny thing happens to me when I finish reading a book. I put it down but my thoughts continue in the tone of the narration.

I've been hearing Tyler Durden since. Not- Brad Pitt either, My own version of Tyler Durden.

"I see the strongest and the smartest men men who have ever lived and these men are pumping gas and waiting tables."


"This is your life and its ending one minute at a time.

This is motivating stuff.

"You are not a beautiful and unique snowflake. You are the same decomposing matter as everything else. We are the all singing all dancing crap of the world."

This is the first time I've ever blogged and I really want it to - Not Suck. I've thought about it for some time though and I think I have a lot to contribute. I've experienced loss first hand. My wife, the mother of my children died in a car accident four years ago and I've been raising our two kids on my own ever since.

After the staying out all night. After he whiskey in my morning coffee. After Old Hank and Hank Three music  stopped working. I started working out. I did some Yoga and I found religion- Zen Buddhism.

After moving through the dark night of my soul I am left with a terrible beauty. Every body dies but not everybody really lives. This is your life and it's ending one minute at a time.

I'm driven to be better than I am. I've been absorbing information on personal transformation and "self help" new age etc. as long as I can remember. You might say I'm an information addict. In recent weeks I've been "unplugging" myself the incessant information stream that is Facebook.

I have all the information I need to change my Life and this is going to be the year I put that information into action. 

I have many weapons at my disposal. 

This is the year of action. I'm twenty nine that means I have one year to thirty.

The way I see it I have one year to become the man I'm going to be for the rest of my life. 

To become the father my kids will remember for the rest of theirs.

This is my year. join me for the ride.
