Introduction

So whats with the crazy name for my blog? Well it is a nod to a book by Erma Bombeck called "If Life is a Bowl of Cherries, What Am I Doing In The Pits?" As I am getting older I realize that life isn't all its cracked up to be. I am in my early thirties. I am a single gay man. I am fat and have mobility and health issues due to a car accident in 2002. My nearest relative lives over fifty miles away from me. I recently lost my mother and my life is basically in shambles. I have had a series of life changing events since I was in kindergarten. Some good. Mostly bad. Do I want you to feel sorry for me? No way. This is the card I was dealt. Yes, I tend to hide my emotions. I have perfected the art of laughing and smiling on the outside while inside I am sobbing. However I refuse to give in to the depression. My life is hard. I have been managing on food stamps and 200 dollars a months for over a year while the house is in limbo until I get power of estate. Yet I still manage to have fun exciting moments in my life. I have really good friends that keep me sane and are like a psuedo family to me.

So what do I want this blog to be about. Well I want it to be a place I can release the emotions I keep inside. I want it to be a place I can share videos, web stories, and funny pictures that keep me smiling, laughing and generally sane. I wanna share ways that I have learned to survive in the bleakest of circumstances. I wanna share low cost recipes and ideas for making food stretch. I want to be able to share fun experiences I share with my friends. I want to tell the world about the crazy fucked up things my neighbors do. This blog is the best and worst of my life. However I realize more than ever I can't bottle things inside and after 4 years of working in call centers I have developed a hatred for talking on the phone so this is my medium. Enjoy!
