Day 1: Who I am, What this is

I am almost 40 years old. I live with my parents and have no car of my own. All my possessions are in a 10x10 storage unit that I have been renting for four years now. I work as an estimator for a paint contractor and earn as much as I did in high school jobs. I am single, never married, and currently have no dating prospects. I am bald, very overweight and suffer from rosacea, which leaves me with red blotches all over my face. All that said, I have many people I consider friends and I can keep myself distracted with the best of them.

That's who I am.What this is meant to be, I am not entirely sure yet. I want it to function like my diary but I want it to tell a story of change. Hopefully, for the better. I don't have time to write a buttload every day but I want to update this daily to chart my progress on a few things. Pretty much everything I described in the opening paragraph is something I want to fix (besides having friends). Maybe by tracking my progress, I can look back on this blog in 200 days and think, "Wow, I have come a long way."

Every day I want to track two things: what I eat and any pop culture I consume. Last night, I took a walk for exercise for the first time in months and I want to keep track of that kind of thing, too. I have always wanted to be a writer (in fact, I wrote a novel that no one has read) so this is kind of my space to work out that jones, too.

In terms of food, I had a Sausage, Egg and Cheese Biscuit for breakfast along with four soft batch Chocolate Chip cookies. I drank most of a large bottle of Dr. Pepper with it. For lunch, I ordered 8 wings and breadsticks from Dominos. I ate the wings with blue cheese dressing and the breadsticks with marinara. My mother ate two of the breadsticks so I at least didn't eat them all. Of course, I got hungry and ate a raw weiner as a snack. I have had at least an additional liter of Dr. Pepper today while doing this afternoon eating.

I have watched the season finale of Saturday Night Live (the Rock was hosting) along with an episode of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Arrested Development. I also watched a Dave Chappelle stand up special from Austin that was quite good. When I update these, I will let you know what I have consumed and watched in the past 24 hours.

Who knows what I will talk about next, probably explain how I got here and why I am having a hard time moving forward.
