So it begins…
Lao Tzu famously penned that the Journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step. Or something along those lines. He didn’t use a pen and they didn’t measure in miles in ancient China. Aw hell, Lao Tzu might not have even existed- there’s debate around that. But there is no debate around the sentiment of the saying that regardless of the distance of the journey, they all begin by taking the first step.
What isn’t written however, is that the first step is almost always the hardest to take. The amount of procrastination that can be justified while one is not in motion, while one is experiencing inertia is truly shocking. I’ve wanted to share insights and more in a blog, videos, and other media to get more of the things that have helped me into the hands and minds of others for almost as long as I’ve been sober and I got sober in May of 2012. That’s twelve and a half years ago. I have shared in small capacities here and there. I have put out videos on Facebook. I have put up posts on Facebook that have been blog like. I have shared on Tik Tok, but I haven’t actually created a personal blog. I’ve gotten stuck in analysis paralysis- trying to find the perfect name and title. Trying to find the perfect elevator pitch. Trying to find that impossible thing. It’s like I’m trying to find the end before even beginning. It makes no sense at all.
So never mind the end. I don’t know what that is going to be (other than our shared common end (unless Bryan Johnson sorts stuff out)) I do know that this is the beginning. I’m not compartmentalizing myself anymore. I’m going to put everything up here on the BJ from Colon site. Ramblings, musings, insights, and more. I’ve never been very much of a niche guy. It’s hard for me to stick with one thing for that long, other than making people laugh. So if anything, you can anticipate being mildly amused and maybe occasionally inspired by what you read here. It’s like pulling back the curtain on an entertainingly crazy person who overshares. Buy a ticket, take the ride…
