BLOG REBOOT


Hey.

Dean here.

If you couldn't tell.

I've been home from my mission for like... 6 months now? And after all this time, I just remembered these neat things called blogs. No one reads them anymore or seems to remember them. Everything is Facebook and Instagram and geez, even email is becoming an archaeic thing of the past. Anyways...

Despite the fact that no one will probably care, I have dedcided to reboot this skeleton of a blog I once updated frequently many years ago... (2014... Well, I got kinda busy) ;)

I have been wracking my brain, trying to think of a way to save all the incredible memories and experiences I've had over the last 2-3 years and document them for myself and others to enjoy. (Hopefully others enjoy it...)

I used to update all 3 of y'all with news from my favorite fandoms and basically whatever else was on my mind at the time (not much). However, I want to move away from that a bit. I still love those things and I'm still essentially the same Dean, but now my perspective has deepened and I see things in a different way. I may share some fun Disney news or whatevs if I feel like it, but mainly I want to share insights and experiences from my life that have real meaning and hey, maybe can help you along the way! Many of my friends no longer live close to me, so in this way you can stay updated on me and I can keep contact with you! Hoping to have some sort of consistency with this, but... you might be lucky to get a new post, oh, maybe once a week or so.

What's been happenin' in my life lately? Not much honestly. I'm cashiering (among other things) at Walmart and having such a BLAST! (Do you speak sarcasm?) I'm saving up for big future expenses (Car, School, Housing, Future fam-bam, LIFE!!) and I'm getting... somewhere... very... slowly... but I am doing well! (Really though, it is a great job, just not a glamorous one). Some are born for retail... Me? I tolerate it!

I've been drawing (not as much as I'd like) and I've also gotten into writing thanks to one of my close friends. I don't know where these ideas are coming from! I am usually not a creative idea person. It's been a nice way to get things off my mind a bit. Things could be sooo much worse. I really do live a great life and have a great family, but admittedly the transition from mission to coming home has been a challenge in different ways. We all have our unique circumstances, and boy are mine unique!

Well, without further ado! (and before I run out of material)

Welcome (again) to my blog!!!

...pardon my dust...

I'm currently brainstorming and re-designing so... sorry if it looks kinda broken at the moment.. I'm almost there...

Have an incredibly fantastic day! I love all 3 of you who just read this (You know who you are...)

Bye!

YAY! I'm one of the three who read this! ;) I know what you mean about blogs. I used to love my blog, and now I don't even get on there anymore because I just don't have time...to do...much of anything. ;) And when I do, I'm just too tired. Anyways, I'm glad you're rebooting your blog! I will come hang out here to see how you are doing!
