Hi friends
It’s been a while. A long
while. A lot has happened. Some of you faithful friends and family out
there have walked through this with me and some of you might have no idea what I’m
talking about. I’m ok with that. What you need to know right now is that I’m
taking my first few tentative steps away from the rubble, after spending these
last few months trying to dig my way out of it.
This year has been… humbling. If you were watching my life on a hidden
camera, I imagine it would play out like one of those awful Ben Stiller movies
where everything goes wrong and you leave the theatre mentally wrestling with
the definition of comedy. This is my
life. I have become Ben Stiller. Like I said, humbling.
At any rate, I’d like to not give this past year another
thought if that is alright with you. I’m
knocking the dust off this old blog here to try and focus on some really great
things. You see, I can cast myself into
a Ben Stiller movie all day long and that’s all I’d ever be. I’m choosing to be something better. It’s hard, and I’m bad at it. And while I can pin a lot of that struggle to
circumstance beyond my control, I have to give my attitude it’s fair
share. And that, friends, is something I
do have control over (ish..).
So get out of my face, Ben Stiller. I am not you!
I am Matthew Wilder. Or at the
very least, I’m one of his background dancers.
I’m going to need to buy some more bedazzled unitards. And really, who couldn’t use another
bedazzled unitard?
As a side note, I’m not really sure what this song is
about. I watched the video like six
times in an attempt to find the true meaning behind it, but I keep getting
distracted by the killer dance moves and moustaches. All I really know about this song is that it’s
the one that plays in my head. And now
it’s the one playing in yours! Your
welcome.
