You stumbled onto this blog in one way or another, and you may be wondering, "Huh?". Well, that question is a little vague, but I'll pretend that you asked "What is this blog about?". Good question. F.I.V.E. really comes down to sharing. Some posts may be personal stories, while others are about the world around us. For those of you familiar with Cracked.com, this blog takes inspiration from presenting an idea/concept/etc. as a list of five items (of varying effects). As you will probably see in posts to come, I'm kind of a math nut, so I wanted to make the number five the focal point of the blog. The name and premise are apparent, and I also plan to post new entries when the date contains a 5 (aka the 5th, 15th, and 25th of a month).
I don't want this to be one large block of text, so I should show rather than tell...
Five Goals of/Reasons Behind F.I.V.E.
1. Everyone has a story to tell.
Since everyone has a unique life with different experiences and memories, everyone has a story to tell. I'm sure I'm not the only one who enjoys telling stories, but I think I'd be a bore if that's all I did in a day. Fortunately, a blog can let me share my story and you the reader can read as much or little as you want.
2. Pump those creative juices.
I think having a creative hobby/outlet is a great way to spice up life. Even something as simple as a 9-to-5'er competing in a bowling league is something different. I've been considering the idea for this blog for a couple of weeks and have since stumbled onto this post about how to be more creative. Hmm... make lists, know your roots, write it down... yeah, I think I'm on the right track.
After all, if a rat can cook, dang it, I can do this!
3. Keep righting. Uh... writing.
Even if I didn't stumble across that list on "I Waste So Much Time", I could have told you that I haven't written in a while. I've done things like a personal blog and there was even a point when I did NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month, which is November), but it's been a while since I've updated either thing. Since writing can really capture a moment in time, it's a great habit for me to get back into.
4. I think Proud Momma Otter can say it best...
What do I mean by that? Well, whether we admit or not, we all have free time somewhere in our lives. There are things like work, sleep, eating, etc., but there are at least some times when we don't have anything in our schedule that's absolutely required. A lot of my free time has recently been in my apartment and there's not a lot that I can show for it. However, if I take some time away from randomly surfing the internet and put it into a creative endeavor... well... I maed dis.
5. Have fun.
I think it goes without saying that everyone needs fun in their life, and I think this goal should be twofold. I want to have fun thinking about random things and stories, and I want you to be entertained. As such, if you have anything you want me to write on, let me know! If it's new, I'm willing to give it a go.
I know it's a little short, but I figure this is a good way to get the F.I.V.E. ball rolling. See you on the 15th!
