Christmas Eve: The Beginning

As far back as i can remember, we had Christmas Eve(XE) at my Grandparents house on my Dad;s side. They lived in Belvidere, Illinois on Beloit Rd. In a green-colored house that looked like it has sun faded siding, but it did not it needed to be painted. I can't seem to write for the past few days w/o falling asleep every few seconds soooo/to be continued...

BecauseLifeOnwardGoes

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

I've wanted to have my own Blog for a while but never became motivated enough to actually start until I was inspired after reading my close friend's and their young family's stories and events of their every day lives. They were wonderful!

Their stories and insights made me want to document my history for it's simple beauty, happiness, sadness, pain, stupidity, fun, truth, joy, spirituality and sometimes harsh reality. Blogs can be scary, fictional if you want them to be or just simply how you feel that day or moment. I plan to fill my blog with all these things to possibly give others some understanding and insight into to who I am and how I think I became that way. I think maybe I can also use it as a tool to learn from my mistakes and learn more about myself and my little point of light in this world. All in an effort to make that light shine bigger and brighter so that I can see myself more clearly and hopefully to see that my life doesn't have to be as bad or as dark and depressing as I seem to feel it is more often than not lately. WOW was that a little corny and dramatic or what? Get used to it! I'm a middle-aged gay man. It's too hard to be anything else. (That's what he said!).

I named my blog Because Life Onward Goes one, because I wanted to have a "cool" title like everybody else (my "super cool" acronym for "B.L.O.G.") and two, because no matter what I write (if it's a lot or if I just lose my motivation and barely write anything). Life Onward goes. No matter what happens to me (how I feel, what I want or if I get ran over by a bus tomorrow) Life Onward Goes. If I win the lottery (and live happily ever after) or just fall over dead (for any number of reasons) Life Onward Goes. Basically, whatever happens (to any of us anywhere at anytime) Life Onward Goes. Get it? GOOD! Now, let's see what happens...
