I’ve been flirting with the idea for a few months. I have read all my friends and a good amount of randoms posts. I’ve laughed, cried, cringed and now I want IN! I want my very own blog. So here I am baby!
The thing that finally pushed me over the edge- I remembered a movie with Richard Gere, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Sarandon. Seen it? Not exactly a top fiver but there is one unforgettable quote:
”We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet … I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things … all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness’.”
Ok ok i get it’s not exactly fitting, but work with me! While this is not a marriage nor will you be witnessing the mundane things (what would be the fun in that??) you will all still be a witness to my life. The thought is somewhat soothing to me, to know all my successes, failures and foibles will be recorded and (hopefully) witnessed. And hey maybe I will get picked up and have the book of my life on the shelves at Borders (Hello Jen Lancaster!!!). I will be the ”famous” author stalking the book shelves (blog comments) to see who cold possibly actually want to read about my daily life!
Hmm Maybe I should give you a little background on me in this first, groundbreaking, maiden blog. I am a 25 year old single girl living in Nashville. I am originally from South Africa, but am Lebanese. As in both sets of grandparents are Lebs. But Moms and Pops grew up in South Africa. I like this because I can claim to be Lebanese, Arab, African, African-American, Caucasion and an immigrant all at the same time! Talk about confusing people at job interviews. It has been a constant source of hilarity my whole life.
I am hoping for this to be a funny blog about lifes little jokes. However, I do tend to get riled up on a daily basis so I’m sure I won’t be able to resist a few good old rants, but I’ll try to curb them for your sanity and mine!
Ok lets get this baby started! Thanks for stopping by!
